A place to call home.

Found out yesturday Robyn and I were approved for the apartment we wanted. We go in Thursday to sign the lease and all that other fun stuff.


Things have been going pretty well for us lately. We found a place to live and jobs. Granted, we want to be doing something else, but you have to start somewhere...right?

I have applied to over 20 jobs so far and only have heard back that I'm not eligible for ONE. ONE person has gotten back to me. I've tried to follow up, but you can be put on hold for so long before you get discouraged and hang up.

Can anyone think of a good way to describe a network cable that most everyone can understand? I describe it as a cable with terminations(ends, plugs, whichever is your pleasure) that look like telephone terminations, only bigger (wider). People still seem to think that the power cable is the cord I'm looking for. I wish the company would standarize on one color for the cables so I could say "Unplug the cable and tell me if the register still says online."

Of course...if someone was colorblind, then I would be in trouble...

Which leads me back to my question: Can anyone think of a good way to describe a network cable that most everyone can understand?
