(Ignore references to cigarettes...old post) I feel like I should be writing something…but…I do not know what the subject would be…~lights cigarette…drums fingers on desk and ponders~. Ah…funny story about my WiFi thingamahjoo. When I moved here and decided to purchase a WiFi system from my telephone provider, AT&T…see…I did that so I could view pictures of animals sporting cute human sayings…faster…which was going on three years ago (see, I’m so bored that I spelled “three” instead of using the numeric key “3”)…I felt a little anxious about the installation. I know how any little misstep can produce disastrous and frustrating results…so…when it was time to set it all up I followed the instructions to the letter…TO THE LETTER! CAREFULLY! I read and re-read each step and made absolutely sure I was being absolutely correct with my installation! NO DOUBT! NO…DOUBT! If the goddamn thing did not work it was not going to be because I mucked it up! After a time I arrived at the end of the installation and the manual conveyed that all the little lights would turn a glowing green…all five (notice again I did not use “5”) would be a solid glowing green when the unit was ready to function and it also warned that such may take a little time and I needed to be patient. I remember thinking to myself…while I was waiting…~That’s going to look pretty cool with all those little green glowing lights…like a spaceship!~. The first little green light glowed into being…~This is going to look cool~…I thought. The second little green light glowed into being with the first…~This is going to look awesome!~ The fourth and fifth little green lights glowed into being simultaneously and now four glowed with the promise of online bliss…~Yep…just like a goddamn spaceship!~…I was beside myself with joy. Now all my attention was focused on that third still dark light…~OOoo…OOOO…it flickered!~…but still it remained dark. I told myself…~Now the manual did say it might take some time…this must be the final step and it’s going to take longer than the first four.~. So…I conjured up two sandwiches and with a cold Pepsi came back to my desk and stared at that third still dark light as I ate and drank…finishing, I smoked a cigarette…I smoked another cigarette…third light still dark…I viewed a movie from my library and swilled more Pepsi and smoked more cigarettes…third light still dark…~Be Patient.~…I told myself. I re-read the manual again…I checked every cable and jack…it was all absolutely correct! I was vexed! WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT!?!?! The third light was still dark at the end of hour four! There I sat…looking at that dark light, all thought of my cool spaceship gone…then looking at the Mozilla icon on my desktop…dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…~IT SAID NOT TO TRY TO CONNECT UNTIL ALL FIVE LITTLE GREEN LIGHTS WERE GLOWING~……dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…~DON’T DO IT!~… …dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…dark light…Mozilla icon…I double clicked the Mozilla icon and with blinding speed connected to online!! That third light STILL has not turned on.
