missing out

simplyn2deepit feels like I'm missing out on a lot of stuff since I don't have the internet 24/7 (update on that in a bit), but when I get to my office, which is where I'm at for a 3rd time today because of internet withdrawals lol, nothing has really been updated.
I don't spend lots of time on sites like AOL Rocks or Book 'em Danno, but I do follow the updates on twitter and/or facebook.
There haven't been any new fic posted that I haven't already read...but I'm not in the right area to write - I have the words, but not my usual writing place (my bedroom).
Last night, Jasmine asks my sister to turn on her T-Mobile HotSpot so she could get on the internet. I wasn't asked if I wanted to get on the internet as well, so I decided to call T-Mobile and see what I would need to do to get it myself. After over an hour and 2 different tech calls, it turns out, my service plan includes the HotSpot feature! I just needed to turn it on, and connect my laptop to it! Well that's great! I get walked through it and by all accounts, it should connect me to the internet, however, that's not the case. The signal is being sent to my laptop, but something is preventing my laptop from receiving the wireless signal! I don't think T-Mobile tech support can help with that. My next option is to ask John (the church's computer go-to guy and my boss' husband) or wait until January when my parents return and have my dad to look at it. But I'd go to the Geek Squad before asking my dad because he doesn't exactly have the best track record with setting up wireless internet at home.
Like I said, I just feel like I'm missing out on stuff even though my LJ feed hasn't been updated in the last 30 minutes, but before that it was something like 5 hours between updates! I could work on graphics. I haven't done any for
h50icontest since challenge 66 and challenge 68 is going on.
