I brought my netbook with me to dialysis tonight and am writing this message while connected to the wi-fi of my center. There is no charge for the service. The only negative is that I am connected to their corporate system and am therefore blocked from Facebook and other personal and people networking sites as the system thinks I am an employee. If you try to go there you get warning from Human Resources stating that " Access to this page is restricted per H.R. Section IV, Policy 8 "Computer Use and Security", and has been logged."

I am waiting to be called into H.R. to be spoken to. (LOL)

Now, now. We all know that dialysis is just like going to a job, so don't go messing with HR!  :rofl;

I've linked to the wifi at my center a  couple of times.  My problem, being the horrible speller that I am, is typing with only one hand but I tried.  The only restriction is that at the login page you have to promise not to go to porn sites.  There are actually two possible connection with  one being somewhat weak and the other strong.  Problem is, you can't tell till you try to connect which is which.  At least it is a nice thought for them -- plus there is Mac the technical support guy.  I've never met him but they swear you can get him if you need him.

Come to think of it, nothing is funny anymore.

Nothing that I post here is intended for fact but rather for exploration into my personal thought processes.  Any slight, use of words with multiple connotations or other percieved insults are totally unintended.  I reserve my insults for private.
