Well, this is a first. I’m not blogging from home today. I am currently sitting in a Panera Bread using their free Wi-Fi connection (it is NOT pronounced ‘wiffy’) to post this entry. Why?
Good question. I have been having internet connection issues lately and when I got up this morning it was completely out. I called my ISP and found that they were having outage issues in Maryland, DC and Virginia (though I couldn’t find word of this on the internet – having finally gotten a connection).
Anyhow, I travelled up to my nearest Panera and plopped myself down with my laptop. A couple years ago, before I had my laptop, I remember there were electrical outlets that were reachable in the main dining area. They are apparently gone.
I really ‘dig’ this place. It has warm earth tones, sultry jazz music, a fireplace burning (even though it’s nowhere NEAR cold enough for one), and the smell of baking bread. How can you go wrong?
So, I just continued my job search at this remote site. Still haven’t found anything. That deal with the woman I used to work with? Haven’t heard anything more. I got a blank e-mail from her and haven’t heard a peep since.
Yesterday I had a nephew turn 22. I feel really old. Everyone in the immediate family was there except my older brother and his family. We went to Jason’s Deli ($9 for a frickin’ sandwich?!?) and sat around gabbing and roasting the birthday boy.
Wow. While I was typing this a smokin’ hottie walked in. Originally she was sitting against the wall so I couldn’t see her but now she’s sitting in the wing-back chair almost directly facing me – that is, when I lean a little bit out of my booth. She’s talking on her cell phone with the laptop open. I can only see the edge of it so I can’t tell if it’s a Windows or Apple laptop. She’s really cute. She’s made no attempt to look at me when I lean over to look at her.
I’m really impressed with the amount of battery in my laptop. I’ve been here 45 minutes to an hour and it’s telling me I’ve got 2 and a half hours left. That’s pretty good.
Sorry this is so choppy but these thoughts are coming in to my head. I didn’t really have a specific topic when I started this thing. I figured I’d be doing this at home but Karma has, once again, stood in my way of getting ahead in life. I’ve got to shake this somehow.
More later.
