Well I caved, and though I feel a bit guilty, I am now back on wireless. So far it has been an adventure, and not in a good way, but for now things seem quite stable. It seems about on par with the wireless we had so far.

I work tomorrow evening and then have the next two days off so I'll probably catch up on things then. I seem to be mostly morning shift, which will take a bit of getting used to, but I so like it. My sleep schedule will take some adjusting, but I don't mind. It will be nice to come home and have time to take care of things are relax.

I hoping to work on all my fics I wanted to get out in the next few days as well. I hope to have one posted by tonight, although I don't know which one just yet.

I will be working to get for RP stuff probably next week, or maybe later this week. I need to figure out where I am going to put an app, or apps, in and then actually work on it and buy paid time for Yoji.


Is anyone else having problems with last.fm detecting things for LJ? I'm still getting used to this set-up so I don't know if it's that or something else going on.

Well, so far I'm coping with the sporadic 'Net. I'm not coping well though. I keep telling myself only a couple of weeks and things will be back together, but that doesn't work near as much as I would like.

I will be coming back with lots of fics- Tears of Truth will have at least another chapter the week I get back, the final chapter of the 'Private Dancer' verse will be posted around the same time and I am also working on a new Weiss fic. It will be very different from what you have seen so far. Very plot heavy, and will include some playing around with 'Weiss' science. Yes, there is a reason I'm putting it like that...those who have seen the show will understand. It will have quite a few warnings and for that reason will be friends locked. It will also contain several polls as I'm hoping to have it be a little interactive, at least at the beginning. I'm also going to go back and try to continue the other fics I've got going including Honey and Closer.

As for the things I'll be working on to try and sell they may take a few weeks more for me to be ready to move on with them. One requires a lot of paperwork, which will be the culmination of several months work, and the other one needs a detailed outline as well as some character development and such. I think I have the plot down, but really I won't know how much work it needs until I get the basic foundation. There are several other things I'm going to try and work on, but these two are the priority for the moment.

I also intend to continue trying to get a library job, or go back to school in January. It will take a lot of planning for me to go back so I'm just going to see where that goes. I will have to move to a different city, and possibly live in the dorms to get the degree I really want, but I may talk to people at Eastern because they have a degree that covers grade school library science so it may just be easier to do that then take a semester at UK to get the ones required for college, or you know I may totally not know what I'm talking about and really they won't work well together at all so yeah I'll figure that out first before I make any solid plans one way or another.

Finally, on an RP note. I want to get back into things slowly simply because I have found that if I let myself get too stressed it just plays havoc with trying to keep up in LJ RP. I close off and even though I want to interact I end up doing nothing. I guess I get overwhelmed easily. I'm trying to learn some stress management techniques that work for me, one of which would be getting a library job, but realistically that isn't something I can plan on any time soon, so yeah back to the drawing board on that one. One plan I'm working on is limiting myself to maybe 3 or 4 characters no matter how RPs I might be in. This way I can really concentrate on them and it won't be as hard to meet requirements. I'm still working things out in my head for now since I can't really say how things will go once I get the wireless. After all, Yoji's voice came back and so now he is back in the mix. So much for starting completely clean, which really isn't all bad because he's Yoji after all.

Mostly these are the things I'm thinking about for the summer, and early autumn. As long as there are no unforeseen issues once I settle into somewhat of a routine at McDonald's I should be able to relax and figure out where to go from here. I like my routines I admit.

So the wireless that I was using at home is now gone. If nothing changes I will have wireless back on the 7th of June. What I'll probably do is going to Wal-Mart as early as possible, buy the piece I need and hopefully, unless there is some unforeseen problem, I should have it up and running either not long after getting home from work if I'm scheduled for that day, or pretty much as soon as I get home with the piece.

I will still be able to sporadically get access to Wireless either through the free wireless offered at work, or the laundry mat here at the apartment, Hastings, or the library so please check out the meme I posted earlier today and comment if you have any interest. It will be a very welcome distraction so that at least it won't seem like such a long time before I can have wireless at the house again.

Other than that just the normal minor aches and pains (most especially my feet) as I break in the new shoes I needed for work and allow my body to adjust to more hours on my feet.

So I have 'net in my room at the moment. I'm not sure how long it will last, or how dependable it will be, but at least I can reached for the next little bit if I'm needed.

I'm working on some fics and things so I'll have some things to post as soon as I get the wireless situation under control.

I got the job at McDonald's. Yay! I should have orientation this week and I'll be putting in my two weeks notice at Hastings today when I go in. I have to get my food handler's card which is more annoying than a real problem, or at least I hope that is the case.

Also, as you can tell, I still have 'net. My roommates don't so I suppose it's just because I left the computer on and so the connection hasn't reset, which means really it could go at any time. There's supposed to be a city wide free wireless connection, but I can't get it in my room and I've only seen it twice in all the many times I've checked wireless networks so I'm not sure what is going on with that.

So I've done some searching for wireless service in preparation for the 'net getting shut off. So far it looks like my best option lies at Wal-Mart, either through Cricket or Netgear (which means having the choice of going through a couple of businesses for the actual service). I've already told my roommates that if I do go through with my plan for the USB modem that I will not consider it a regular bill. Essentially I'll pay it all myself and take it wherever, and whenever, I want or need. Some part of me is feeling a bit guilty about this, but the truth is that while I probably won't need to take it with me often it will be good to have the option. I still need to do a bit more research to make sure, but if all goes well I will have the wireless thing done before the end of the month, most likely around the 20th (all depending on the job situation).

I should hear from McDonald's this week. I think as long as everything goes well I should be set, but I am also not going to get my hopes up and get too ahead of myself.

I do have places to go while the 'net is down so I at least have options, and that feels pretty good, but I also feel sort of stuck in waiting mode, which I hate. I mean so much depends on how the job situation shapes up that it's pretty scary, but I've dealt before so I'll just have to do it again.

Still have that nervous energy going on, but I suppose that is better that feeling horrible. This reminds me that I need to get to the doctor before the end of the month and get my prescription filled for my migraine issues. They got really bad last week and IF I'll be getting more hours I can't really afford to deal with that again.
