Time and deliveries

I can't believe the time change messed with me.  I was ready at what I thought was the market open, and I could not figure out why my quotes were not working.  I assumed it was because IB said I would have to subscribe to a new service for my quotes.  So I subscribed, but no quotes.  I went to my backup broker for quotes and his quotes don't work either.  I am totally stumped.  I resubscribe to the quote service, I make sure both computers are on different internet service providers and running independently.
AHHHHHHH
When the market finally opens an hour later I realized I was caught in the time warp.  I feel  really, really, stupid.
No balance in MB yet, maybe Tuesday.  Had to withdraw another chunk of money for the remodel, hopefully only 1 more withdraw to go and the remodel should be paid for.

Other Stuff:  I think George Washington waived to me at an intersection on Halloween.  Then later in the day, waiting for a light to change, I watched Pac Man chase the Ghost (or whatever) across 6 lanes of traffic.  It was strange and funny at the same time.  No stock totals for today, C and ETFC were most likely down, and I'm sure Robot is still playing stupid--but I was at the remodel making tables, scrubbing dry wall mess and wall paper glue off the floors.  That cinderfella thing never seems to bring a princess for me.  How come it is so hard for some to get the hint?
