A chronicle of my Monday morning:
6:00 a.m.: Awaken to the promise of a new day.
6:02 a.m.: Coffee’s brewing.
6:09 a.m.: Coffee poured. Enhanced with Nestle’s French Vanilla creamer.
6:10 a.m.: First attempt to register for 2011 San Diego Comic-Con.
6:11 a.m.: Three failures in sixty seconds. A lesser person would sigh and point out it’s a Monday.
6:34 a.m.: Have lost count of failed attempts. Read blog entry from Google news feed that swarms of people have faced similar server errors.
6:51 a.m.: Shower time. Feeling frustrated by choice to purchase a hotel room prior to acquiring four-day passes.
7:28 a.m.: Surprise dear mother with call from angelic son. Would she be willing to carry on my quest for tickets in my absence? My employer beckons.
7:42 a.m.: Finally able to enter my name into first registration page. Internal error. Go back. Refresh.
7:54 a.m.: Teased endlessly by registration pages that inched slowly to payment screen before finally fizzling out.
8:06 a.m.: Drive to work deflated.
9:12 a.m.: Learn that registration was canceled for a second time due to server problems (see below). Hope springs anew.
