Wi-Fi Woes
What a day. We had to drive from Holly Springs, GA (45 minutes north of Atlanta) all the way to Charlotte, NC. Not such a long drive, but when you’re worried about your tires, and you have intermittent heavy rains, it makes for a very stressful trip. The wonderful people at the car care place told me all four tires need to be replaced immediately. Not that I don’t believe them, but it amazes me that in 3 months time my tires went from being just fine to needing to be changed immediately if not sooner. I’m thinking I shouldn’t have told them I was planning a trip out of town. Hmmmm.
We made it to Charlotte, after traversing Atlanta’s rush hour traffic, the aforementioned intermittent squalls, the insane drivers, the drunk drivers (it is Friday night, after all), a bored and scared 11 year old (I’ll explain the “scared” another time) and slightly confusing signs for I-77. We checked into our room, which advertised high speed wi-fi internet. We changed into comfy jammies, tucked in for the evening night, started to log in to work on my NaBloPoMo post, and lo and behold, their internet is down. ARGH! The only way to access wi-fi is to go outside, walk to the back corner of the hotel parking lot, and use the wi-fi from the hotel next door.
Did I mention it’s raining?
For the love of Pete.
I guess I won’t be Twittering, Facebooking, or doing anything else internet related tonight. I just hope this makes it up for NaBloPoMo.
