Resetting the router worked for the moment, but by the time I got home the connection was pretty much kaput again. Figuring it was RoadRunner and…

    More reading on using networking as part of your job search. I’ve been reading a book about networking and going through all the self-awareness practices myself lately, so this is timely stuff.
