on hold

I've been on hold more in the past 2 days then I can ever remember. On hold w/ tech support, on hold with Best Buy, Circuit City, and several other office stores... I bet I've spent 2-3 total hours today on hold.

Lots of things went on hold with the laptop pooping out. I realize that this is inevitable for me, because I work from home, it's part of what I depend on to get things done. If I did NOT work from home, I'd probably use a beat up old desktop unit for emailing, and blogging.

What else is on hold? Making reservations for the beach... I'm a dingbat, and saved every contact # for the 4 places we looked into for renting.... so I really hope those people (by email) don't think I'm a rude person for not replying to their offers!!! We found some great villa rentals in the Sullivans/Seabrook Island area of SC, near Isle of Palms (where we went 4 years ago and LOVED) and it's 20 min from Charleston! Oh well, it's not the end of the world, I just don't like the idea that I asked for info, they sent it and I'm not able to call to confirm or decline. Hopefully one of them will send me an email soon, and I can call from that!! I'm SO ready for the beach!
