Technology & Me

So, I've been having no end of trouble with our ISP but finally, finally, I got past the call center to the real tech support line and wonder of wonders, they actually listened to what I had to say.

Direcway will be sending someone out to realign our satellite dish; I'm delighted to know that it's not just me who thinks it's insane that the satellite goes out every single night. But being the ex-techie that I am, I have a redundant system in place.

Dialup.

Go me. I shouldn't have to have it, but I do. I'm glad I do.

[end of tech update]

My massage practice is suddenly hugely busy. What's that all about? I'm not complaining, mind you. Clients are calling at all sorts of hours. I haven't worked Mondays since I started my practice, and I had a bunch of regulars call and want in this past Monday. I have a few new regular clients too, coming in weekly.

Time for me to get my own massage.

I'm helping teach again, Friday mornings this time. I noticed that working Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday is not optimal for me; I'd really rather not do the three days in a row. My body gets tired a lot more easily. I'm going to have to pay attention to that and modify my routine 'cause... well... I'm not getting any younger. I'd like to keep on being a practicing LMT for at least a few more years.

This has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with body mechanics.

One more random thing: hugs [livejournal.com profile] sff_corgi just because.

It's really hard to keep up good body mechanics ...

~hugs~ and hope you don't overwork yourself

I'm glad you got that resolved. Silly tech people.

*hugs*

I'm pretty aware of body mechanics and pretty good at maintaining it; heck, I better be since I help teach it to new massage students.

It's just a question of forcing awareness more frequently, since I'm working more.

Do I actually stay still long enough for a massage?

Not as frequently as I should, that's for sure. Heaven knows where the time goes.
