Time wasted

My mobile broadband card has been going dormant and disconnecting me for a couple of weeks now. It is important that I am able to go online from our new retail store, so that I can remotely connect to my home PC and do my work from there. So, I spent an hour in the Alltel store today. I ended up with an upgraded version of the card, that connects using the USB port rather than the express card slot. It connects using EVDO Rev-A, which is supposedly faster than what I had before. The sales rep also upgraded the PRL. It's always nice to have your PRL upgraded. And now that you are impressed at how techie I am, let me tell you that I don't completely understand what most of that means. All I know is that now I can connect to the internet for more than 3 minutes at a time. On the other hand, I wasted the 2 full days that Captain Chaos is in school, by spending hours on the phone with Alltel and in their store. So I got no work done.

As if that wasn't enough, I got back to our retail store and decided to find more excuses not to work.

So I cleaned out and reorganized my wallet.

Now I have a stack of unfinished paperwork, but my credit cards are in alphabetical order.

And I have a speedy net connection, allowing me to blog about it.

I mean, the whole morning is shot. You don't really expect me to start working at 2:00 in the afternoon, do you?
