This post at UrsulaV's LJ and especially the comments is why I've deleted Google Buzz.

And I, like one person in the comments, had said "Maybe Later" to this Buzz thing, and was rather HORRIFIED to find out that Google had turned it on anyway. Ugh!

Only two people were following me, but I was apparently following a bunch of people, all of whom could see each other's email addresses, even if they has not wanted that.

Wow, I am well behind on this!

Tuesday I was thankful for wireless internet access while out and about. Granted, I was borrowing bandwidth from someone or other, but I did need it to work on con stuff. And I am thankful!

Wednesday I was thankful for a great little cafe and gourmet foods store that I go to for food at D&D. Their food is great - I had hot homemade mac and cheese, vanilla chai, and a huge brownie. Yum!

Thursday I was thankful for writing organizations which speak out about devious and predatory publishing companies. I wish more people knew about Writer Beware.

And today I am thankful for lunch with my mother - she's not normally in the town I live but has classes here this semester. Having lunch with her on a semi-regular basis is very cool.

How I .. well, don't really love the post office.

Cable was mailed on Tuesday. Extra money was paid so that my desktop iMac could be plugged in Wednesday.

Arrive home Wednesday. No cable. Call parents, who did mail it and are requesting their moeney back.

Arrive home Thursday. No cable. Message from post office that I must sign for it. I was at work when they arrived.

Post office is not open late... any day of the week. They close at 4:45 PM.

I go early on Friday, arriving at 8:30, figuring that if they close early they must open early.

No.

They open at 9:00. I work at 9:00.

A janitor takes pity on me and I get my cable anyway.

I now understand people who say silly things like *hugs internets*
