Everyday Randomness

Freakin’ Bored

I didn’t make it to bed this morning until 6:30 am, so I tried to sleep as long as possible.  Why didn’t I go to bed?  I was freaking out because I couldn’t access my blog or any other sites on any of the servers I do business with.  I was able to load anything and everything else just fine, just not my personal blog or any of my work websites.

I had people left and right pulling up my blog to see if it would load, and it would!  Then I finally found another friend who couldn’t access either.  It took us about 20 minutes of trace routes and ping tests to realize we were both running through the same qwest pipeline, and timing out as soon as it tried to send us elsewhere.  Looks like one of the major pipelines was having trouble, so my sites weren’t really down, I just couldn’t access them.

I also forgot  that this was going to be a very boring evening for me.  Normally hubby is home from work around 5:15, but I forgot he’s working overtime for the next few days.  They’re replacing a roof on a multi-million dollar house that just can’t stay exposed for more than a few days, especially the way the weather pops around here, so he’ll be working at least 10 to 12 hours days for the rest of the week.  Thankfully the weather report is nothing but blue skies for the next couple of days.  Too bad we’re not on the bike enjoying it!  Instead this means I’ll be sitting at home until 7:30-8pm bored out of my mind.  I’ve already finished all my work for the day, and I guess now I’m going to blog a little and watch a movie or two.
