The Waiting Room

It´s just killing me not to get going with my work. Spent another unfruitful day trying to call technicians that might help me, writing e-mails that didn't get replies or to which I got replies that were besides the point. I am so tired of not being productive. Feel like a tourist on a vacation void of sights or fun. Or as if in a waiting room for somebody with whom I don't have an appointment. I just need to get my work going. Desperately. Apparently, on saturday I will get a cable connection installed at home. That might make life a little easier. Kind of sick of marching up and down campus all day with my laptop, the battery charger, my books and my lunch on my shoulder. Still haven't found a really cozy place to sit down. The library isn't, plus it's freezing cold. Outside it's too bright for my computer screen. And it´s actually kind of windy and foggy often for the first part of the day. The Price Center, with the food courts, has some places and tables to sit, but it's so crowded and noisy. And even, wherever I would sit down, it´s not MY spot, so each time I have to visit the bathroom I will also have to pack my bags, shut down the computer, unplug it and pack. Then once I´m back from getting a sip of water or whatever I will have to start all over again, find a seat where I can plug in, reboot, log in and all that ...

I´m a homeless person, so to speak. To the point where I´m missing my cubicle from work. Oh, and the coffee machine.

I knew it ...
