Found out this morning that the reason the wireless doesn't work in my apartment is that the line is turned off. It is to be restored at 5 PM today Minnesota time. Funny thing! I came down to the business center to use the computers there and found an e-mail from Qwest, sent after my phone call. Hey! How do you expect someone really to read e-mail when the line is turned off for the Internet connection!?! Surely not everyone is as lucky as me to have another place to use a computer in the meantime!
Waiting now for the tow truck to take my car to the service center. It's really dead.
Managed to sleep straight through until about 6 AM this morning so little by little I'm getting back on Central US time.
Addendum: Internet restored, but can't read work e-mail. Well, that's a whole different story totally out of my control. The only problem is that one of my students from the University of Pecs wants a reference and I need to read her e-mail to get more information to make the reference letter good.
The tow truck driver was able to start the car, and I drove directly to the service garage. Good thing for when I turned it off there, it wouldn't start again. I came back home with a rental car, so I have wheels, and that feels better. This is after all a car society. In Pecs I could walk or take public transportation for everything I needed to do.
