Got up. Showered. Went back to sleep. Got up. Ate breakfast. They had Pau De Queijo at breakfast. Cheesy bread puffs. Delicious. Went back upstairs. Started working.
Jesse came and asked if I'd checked my email this morning. I hadn't. I tried. Internet was working! I checked my mail. Internet stopped working. Called my boss to reply to email. Spent the next 6 hours creating a report for the customer so they would hopefully allow us to purchase the last 20 phones we need so that we can come home! Had to write the report on the bed, plugged into the wall because that was the only way to do the research I needed. At least the Internet was working.
Computer ran out of power as I was finishing the report. Came back into the living room to finish it. Plugged the router back into the wall and went into the setup menu to try and re-configure it. Changed the timezone to Brazil. Suddenly it started working. It was slow, but functional. Yay!
Took a break when the maid came. Made a ham sandwich and ate part of an avacado the size of my forearm. Discovered that arugula is not my favorite lettuce replacement. Tested a few more phones. Tools that have been broken for days miraculously started working - but I have no idea why.
Went to dinner in the hotel dining room. My sister called. Talked to her for a few minutes. That was nice. We got a fried shrimp appetizer that cost $17. Would've been better if we'd gotten it at Red Lobster. I decided to try an Italian dish tonight. Chicken, ham and peas in noddles with a "cream" sauce. I was sadly disappointed, but not surprised. I don't imagine there was any actual cream or even milk in that sauce. Chef Boyardee could have done a better job. I hate this hotel.
Came back from dinner. Fixed some more stuff. Worked some more. When Jesse left at 8:30, decided to watch some TV while I worked. Cable box was off, which was weird. Had to fiddle with the jury-rigged power outlet to get it back on. Nothing. TV is now dead. I'd try the one in my room, but the Wireless router is plugged into the power outlet reserved for the TV. After a week with no Internet up here I'm not screwing with that router.
It drizzled all day. First day it's been cold here.
