Infernal creature!!

It seems that my router's DHCP service, now that I've gotten the rebate for it, has decided to stop working. I shut down my desktop, then brought it back up and it entirely failed to access the internet. I could see through the windows network just fine; I could ping localhost, but I couldn't ping the modem or anything beyond. My laptop was doing the same thing. I went in to give it manual settings for IP and gateway (and stole DNS servers from Robin's computer) and now it seems to work again - except I can't access the modem's config page still. I can ping the modem fine, but Mozilla won't load it.

I'm frustrated. This week is going to suck. Lots.

Life is shit right now.

I feel really, really bad. Not only do I have more than a full plate this week, this semester in general, I'm still having to face how badly I actually fucked up at the end of this summer. I was supposed to have a decent presentation for tomorrow's poster session, but all I actually have is shit. I know Prof Thom is disappointed; she's said as much, but I think it's an understatement. Now for multiple reasons, I just want to crawl under a rock and play dead until anything that needed me has forgotten and I can start over.

I have hardly enough time to do all my own work; I don't know what I'm doing in 70 grading; I need to find time to do LSD group work too.

I'm trying, I really am. But I'm failing.
