I am so freakin' mad.
I like 3 or 4 practice laps and then went into the Pits. I'm sitting there waiting...and waiting...and waiting...I start thinking "This is odd. I wonder why we aren't starting." So, I start typing in the chat window. No response. After about 2 minutes I write something again...I figure maybe I just don't know the 'routine' - maybe everybody is filling up their drinks or whatever...another 5 minutes of waiting and I type another "Hello?" into the chat window...
I figure I'll exit the room and re-connect if there was anything wrong. Sure enough, there was something wrong. I couldn't even leave the track. Whatever was on the screen was still "working" in the sense that I could type in the chat window and whatever.
Apparently, my internet went crazy. It was only for wireless devices. The file server, which is plugged in and my roommates desktop were fine. I thought it was just my laptop so I rebooted. Still nothing. Our phones weren't connecting to the wireless router either. I'm embarrassed to say that after about an hour of pulling my hair out, a simple turn off/turn on of my router cleared up everything and wireless devices were working fine again. This is now the second time this has happened in about a month. I wasn't aware of the first time - my friend that I live with just told me about it last night after I finally rebooted the router. It would have been nice if he told me earlier before I lost my mind completely...but at least it's fixed.
Did you guys all have a good time? I can't believe my first time on the server ended in disaster.
Honestly, lately it feels like the whole world is against me. So many things have been going wrong...it's maddening.
Well, maybe next week I'll actually get some laps in.
What did it look like on your ends? Was I still in the room?
