Today I got the kind of service I used to expect from Dell. Too bad it took 17 days to get it! The Banctec serviceman called at 2:30 to say he was on his way. He was there at 3:00, and in no time installed my new wireless card. It's fixed. I finally have what I wanted from the start: to double my original memory. That's how this whole thing got started: I installed a bigger memory card, but my computer remained slow as ever. I called Dell to diagnose the problem. Seventeen or so long phone calls later, and two service calls, it's fixed. It's actually like having a new computer-- the crashed operating system wiped out all the 'stuff', and the bigger memory card makes it all go fast. Was it worth all the stress? No way!

I came home and watched last night's episode of LOST and now I'm all caught up. I still need to watch Brothers and Sisters and Jericho. I love those shows. Now that my time is my own again, I can do that.

I have two new clients on the books tomorrow. New clients are always stressful for me (why does it have to be two at once?), but I know it will be fine. It always is and I wish I didn't have this anxiety. At the end of the day I'll be sitting in Borders, sipping my favorite drink. Relaxing.

My friend Kit is back in town, and we'll be meeting up at the lodge on Sunday. It's been weeks since we've done that. We have a lot to catch up on so we'll have to take turns.

Anyway, that's it for the night. Thanks for letting me vent about my technical issues. Your support really helped. Happy weekend!
