tech support and frustration

after about three days of me trying to make the computers in the house run wirelessly, i found a few odd things. like one tech support site said something along the lines of "if you can't connect online, click here for help". merr.. how can someone without internet click that link? also, i hate calling tech support. i never really liked it. but now i really hate it. i first bought a netgear router and it completely confused me and the tech support weren't very supportive so i returned it and got a d-link router. and after 5 hours of fiddling with it, calling both earthlink and d-link tech support, and pure dumb luck, i now have wireless internet! yay for sandra! but yeah, through my talks with various tech support guys, i realized that there are some who have thick accents and are short tempered, there are 15 other people who need tech support at the same time as you (10ish pm), and that it's monsoon season in india right now. but it's a sunny day today.

who's watching the olympics with me? the olympics even make ping pong really intense and exciting to watch. i missed the men's gymnastics though. i was trying to get to computer to work and forgot about it. boo.

i know i have more to say but i can't think of them right now.. i've been trying to post things but it wouldn't except my password when i had things i wanted to post. ah well. at least it worked today.
