Woke up after 4 hours of sleep (if that). Ribs hurt a lot.

Classes was 90% non-teaching stuff. To the point where some fucking life-coach started popping up and talking about shit. So I just left the room after two hours of maybe 10min of actual teaching. Fuck dealing with that.

Actually called my internet-provider about the weird internet-losses that makes watching streams near-impossible (bcs it'll freeze-and-restart every five seconds). They were confused about my problem (I have a cable, this shouldn't be a problem).

Person I talked to commented that it's "weird" that my IP-address is what it is, because it looks like it's a VPN-address, despite me not using one.

Started thinking about how I'm forced to pay a pretty hefty sum to my landlord for the internet-access.

Is it possible that they're secretly running some kind of VPN-service for all of their clients (for "security"), and that this is what's causing so much fucking weirdness (on top of explaining why they feel justified taking a monthly payment)? Unfortunately, I would put this in line with their general competence-levels, so I hope that that isn't what they're doing.

#the worst part about the ribs is that even my regular pills do nothing for them. so i just have to suffer? for forever?#bcs lying down makes my back hurt (and doesn't fix my ribs) and sitting up hurts my ribs more and moving does nothing.#so stand with no effect (exhausting) sit with worse effects (painful) lie down with more effects (why)#we'll see if they can at least fix my internet-problems. bcs that'd be nice.#i know it also effects direct-downloads. which will interrupt themselves and fail.#so yeah. would be really nice to see that problem go away. considering how much i have to pay for this.#i mean. at this point it's the same amount as i was paying for my mobile-internet and at least that one had an excuse?#and even then i don't remember it screwing up with streams like this? so if they can't fix it? starting to look like an alternative #same price / same (maybe) instability / and one has internet wherever you go and the other doesn't #sure. i don't really go anywhere anymore. but like. if there aren't any trade-offs? why not?#actually? you know what? i DO hope that they're running some weird vpn-server that i (with a legitimate complain) can opt out of #and then not have to pay their ridiculous extra-cost AND have better internet. that'd be fantastic.#personal stuff
