Getting Ready for a Hot Date

Last night I managed to get my old Dell working with my new wireless router. The router looks like a tourist in New York City being robbed at gunpoint, with it's two antennas resembling a pair of arms reaching for the sky.
Today, I asked my manager if I could have the day off tomorrow. I get three personal days a year, but I am supposed to request a day off at least a week in advance, unless it's an emergency.
So, I lied.
I told my manager that my mother is very sick and that I had to take her to see her doctor.
Little does he know that I really want to spend the day getting to know my new MacBook, which is due to arrive tomorrow.
Gee, I hope my manager doesn't read this.
