Uh-oh...

[conuly]

So, I finally bought me a router. And I got it *all the way home* before I realized that I need ethernet cables for it to work. (It also can function wirelessly, but I need a something-or-other for that too, I believe)

I don't have ethernet anything. My modem plugs straight into my laptop or the big computer via a USB cord.

And I paid too much for this router, I know, I know.

Dang it.

So I haven't opened the box yet. I want to be able to return it if, say, one of my friends (or my Uncle Gabriel) should pop up and offer to send me a decent router with all the necessary accoutrements.

In other news, I'm apparently scheduled to take a CPE tomorrow at noon. There's no way. I'm babysitting tomorrow at noon. Besides, I'm fairly certain that I'm exempt from those or something, so I have to fix this. Damn mail service, fucking up when I get news of stuff.

You don't have an ethernet network card at all? And your modem's USB? How strange... You would need a wireless card for at least one of those computers, yes.

AFAIK, all routers are ethernet related. Multi-port USB peripherals are basically powered hubs.

What were you planning to use the router for?

What is a CPE exam?

Best thing is to call (NOT just email!) and explain tomorrow.

You are aware/capable of being here at 7, right? (Abdul is on the phone right now or I would call you.)

We are prepping lunch for the kiddo now. Lunch for you, this time I don't have dinner from tonight but there will defnitely be SOMETHING. Normally I think we will have dinner leftovers for you, or there's always pasta. Let me know, too, if there's something in particular you'd like me to pick up next time I go shopping for snacks for you or something.

$ may be 40 for now, 50 later (because while I'm a temp I'll be getting quite a bit less.) I hope that's okay? I still have to wait and review our budget limitations after we've both gotten paychecks, which will be at least another week minimum. But you can always take advantage of Abdul's Century 21 discount! (I could "pre-shop" for you to cut down on in-store time for you if you want...)

If you can get her AT ALL early tomorrow, it would be wonderful, but I know it's asking a lot, it's just I want to go over the daycare directions with you, and first-day-prep for me may be a bit hectic. :-/
