((OOC: Have an in-person interview at the local Costco tomorrow, front of store assistant, $17.50 an hour, at least 24 hours a week... and a phone interview with a place that does printing and mailing stuff at 1PM... applied at both on Saturday, and already got call from Costco and e-mail from the other place... think Costco is the better way to go.))

I can handle the network issues and all that (nerd here), just seem to remember there was a way to do regular internet through something))
