:evil: For the SECOND day in a row, I'm seated next to the one person I truly cannot stand in this entire building of 200ish. Seriously just the sound of her voice (and she Never. Shuts. Up.) sets my nerves on edge, to say nothing of the fact that she's an absolutely horrific relief so my breaks will be short all night.

:) I'm going to Niagara Falls on Saturday with some friends and it should be a fun time.

:( : Internet is still going out pretty regularly about every hour or two. Resetting the modem seems to fix the issue so I'm trying to figure out whats up. Cable guy came out the other day and setup a new modem, but that hasn't fixed the issue :P. Going to directly hookup my dads work PC to the modem and see if it still keeps dropping out since our ISP support kept swearing that it was our router the other day but we were also losing our phone connection at times so that kind of had me leaning towards a screwed up line in the yard since they did a very half assed job a few years back when they replaced it.

:D : Out of the 20-30 Seasonal workers at work I'm one of the few they want to hang around after the season. Sure it's not the best paying job in the world but at least it gives me something to do and some extra cash to float on while I figure out what direction I want to go next whether it be law school or a career in law enforcement.

It's Armstrong Cable they have a pretty solid monopoly here :P . Modem is theirs but the Router is mine. Was going to buy a new modem myself the other day but the new one that they installed the other day is the "best" one available on their list of "supported" routers and is one of the few I was looking at picking up myself. According to my parents they also don't have a rental fee for the modem(going to double check the bill to be sure next time we get it) so there was no point in picking up our own.

Really thinking it's the line in the yard though. The job was extremely half assessed. They literally left the new line dangling from the pole and strung all over the yard so my dad had to go back and bury it himself. Kind of surprised it has lasted these last few years.

It is very likely the drop. Rodents will chew on them and the signal will drop randomly because of it.

It really was beautiful.

And tonight is the final episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. And Lisa Ann officially announced her retirement from porn yesterday.

I can't remember which variety of show that is on late Colbert is moving to. Do they offer streaming of their show like Comedy Central does?

Colbert is taking over for David Letterman on The Late Show, which airs just before The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. James Corden is taking over for Ferguson in mid-January.
