I have been feeling crabby all week, and today hadn't really been looking any better. I mean, I was pretty psyched about the ivory-billed woodpecker (how cool is that? Now they just have to confirm the thylacine) but then I was late to class, my hair was all frizzy, I lost my keys, and then I locked them in my car. What a shitty day! But then, the big, beautiful, brown truck came and gave me the modem that would make everything right. My ticket to HIGH SPEED INTERNET ACCESS! Yeah, you heard me! And, the best part is that it's WIRELESS!!! Oh yeah! that's good stuff. Although taking six hours to install was no picnic. It really only should have taken 1-2 at the most. But nothing ever seems to go that smoothly for me. I was surprised I got it set up in one day. It usually takes me several days for something like this. At first the cable company didn't have me on record for having purchased broadband. Why did I get the equipment from them if I had never called to sign up for broadband? Is that an unanswerable philosophical question? No, the answer is: Comcast sucks. Then they said that I had to talk to the
Internet Comcast people since that was where I had ordered it. OK, whatever. I call them, and they say that I have to order it all over again. Right. So I do. Now here's to hoping that they don't send me two bills. I try to set up the modem first. Uh, no go. Tech has to walk me through that. A little bit of this, and a little bit of that...wait. Is it working? YES! Behold! The power of the internet as it was meant to be. WooHoo! High Speed rocks! But then I have to tempt fate by hooking up the wireless router. The disc that was supposed to walk me through that was crap, so I once again had to rely on a tech. She's asking me which cable is hooked up where, and there are so many cables behind my computer at this point it looks like a pile of spaghetti. I keep plugging and pulling until- yeah! I have it! Now I can revel in the beauty of technology. Yes, yes. My Precious.

I haven't taken the test, but I know the results are going to be pretty much the same as yours. I have trouble falling asleep before 2 AM just because that's when my mind is the most active. Since I have a job where I have to get up at 7 AM, this doesn't usually lead to a restful week.
Thank christ for Sundays, eh?
Have a great rest of the weekend.
Bye!

Exactly what I figured as well... I am an Extreme Owl. I work until after midnight, sometimes until 2am and I am wide awake when I get home. I am up for at least an hour after I get home. Doesn't matter how late I get to bed, I still need 8-9 hours of sleep.

I was neither a lark nor an owl. Funny, though. I can stay up very late and usually do.
