“I should be doing work.” That thought keeps going through my head. Funny how most of the “work” that I’m thinking about is miscellany like emailing the professor of the English class I want for this fall. I can’t seem to get anything done. Stuff I do try to get done seems to fail somehow. For example: I try to take an old 1.6GHz Athlon system and spruce it up for my mom to use (her iMac finally died last week). I put in a new CPU fan and an 802.11g PCI adapter. I install Ubuntu. I boot into the new system and start to configure things when… hard freeze. Now it won’t post. 
There have also been less-than-satisfying assignments for work. Twice now I’ve gone to a client and been more or less helpless because of a phone line or PBX. The fact that it’s not my fault and couldn’t have been predicted doesn’t make the letdown easier for some reason.
Time for a snack.
