I wanted to use the complimentary wifi that comes with the dsl account. I got dsl minus the home phone - so have a fake phone number for an account number. To access wifi at Starbucks or McDonalds one must use your account username. I never used the email addy that came with the service, so don't remember the password. I can't reset the password without a phone number; the account number I have does not actually work tho it is the required length and in fact my account number. AT&T, your website sucks rocks. Three tech support guys plus the one in the online chat could not figure out what I was trying to tell them - one wanted to reset my modem and thought that would fix it. AT&T, your tech support geeks don't understand simple English. After much surfing around and clicking I figured out how to do it MYSELF. It was not intuitive and not exactly what you could call user friendly. In other news, I ordered study supplies for the licensing exams. I may be eating pb&j sandwiches for a while.

Think I'm done...

... it's only paperwork now. 3000 hours is a lot more time than you expect it to be.

Just moved into a better, more open, bigger place. Like most apartments there is a coat closet in the entry. The front door opens into the apartment, the screen/security door opens outward, the coat closet opens out into the entry at a right angle to the front door. My cat likes to pry open cabinets and closets to investigate the insides. The coat closet doesn't have a proper doorknob/latch. I sure hope my neighbors were at Easter service and didn't hear me swearing at my cat while I tried to figure out how she blocked me out of my own apartment. ETA: last night she opened every cabinet at knee level and hurked orange half digested cat food in three spots (that I found). I wish she would just tell me she doesn't like moving and get it done.

I moved, and next Saturday, I move again. Maybe I'll stay put for a while then. Good bye, bass playin' upstairs neighbor, too-small apartment, and daffy ducks who crap on the sidewalk every morning.
