Garbage VOIP

disappointed_lesbianAnother day of skipped breakfast and small dinner. It's working out just fine.
I almost went to a local bookstore today. I thought I'd look for a sci-fi novel so that I'd have something to read between computer time and bedtime. I decided I'd instead read/study one of the many Spanish or French novels I have. They aren't as fun to read because I have to continually look up words, but, if I've nothing else to do, sticking to them shouldn't be too difficult, and it's about time I advance my vocab in both languages.
I'm finally going to ditch my garbage voip setup and, I hope, make calls directly through the computer. The phone never disconnects properly and my voip service provider transcribes my voicemails even though I asked for that feature to be disabled, so I'm very unhappy with what I have now. This change has been in the works for months, but understanding voip technology well enough to do something different takes a lot of research. Well, today I finally did that research, spent hours this evening looking up the difference between SIP and VOIP, call security/privacy, and comparing service providers. Now I'm ready to sign up for services, but I need to read the provider's policies, and I'm tired and burned out from reading shit online, so I'll put that off until tomorrow.
It's ten pm, and hour before bedtime, so I guess I'll try getting off the computer now. The recommendation I most recently read was two hours before bedtime, but I'm not there yet.
