Stupid router.

[Hells Malice]

Haven't been on for two or so days, thanks to my router exploding.(EDIT: Not literally!) Annoyingly though, my Dad decided to plug his computer directly into the modem...and then used the internet for about half an hour over those two days. I asked once if I could get hooked up while he isn't doing anything, no dice. Asked and gave a few very good reasons, no dice. Sort of a lost cause, I knew he wouldn't let me use the internet no matter what. (he probably thought it was "good for me".)

Confusion control: I'm an online counselor, for those...all of you, who didn't know that.
I was mostly worried because I had a few low-priority counseling sessions and one high-priority one (I ask that people label, or get me to label, the need for the session in low, medium, or high priority...so I know when best to schedule things).
The low priorities were probably fine, but my high priority session was with a repeat person, so I knew she mostly schedules sessions when she really needs someone to talk to. Generally she never actually scheduled anything...just talked when I had spare time (generally if someone had a high-priority need for a counselor, i'd schedule a specific time they want or make time immediately), but she scheduled ahead of time because she couldn't talk for whatever reason until around then, which was a day later.

So I missed the session, and she never phoned me. I don't have her phone number either (which I usually require, just in case something bad happens). So now i'm really worried about her. I really hope she logs onto her MSN soon.
I wont jump to any conclusions but, due to what I know about her, I won't stop worrying until she gets on.

I didn't even know it was possible for a router to explode.

And when you say she/her, i'm assuming you're referring to your counselor?
Why are you taking counseling?

I don't mean it literally exploded, LOL.
It just completely stopped working.

Oh, okay.
So, what's your patients problem then?

Are you a professional counselor? (as in get paid)

Can't say, confidential and all that (I know no one would know her, and she'd never find out...but yeah, would feel weird).
and unfortunately, no. Not professional...yet. It's a career choice i've considered. I've given up a lot of my free time studying to be one, as well as of course actually doing a fair amount of counseling work. I've become a bit popular. I'm honestly not sure how (I used to spread around my name, but I stopped and still get a pretty healthy stream of people).
Though, the idea of having people pay me to help them...seems weird.
