My internet is currently not working (I'm blogging from my phone) and I just spent nearly two hours with a guy from Comcast trying to guide me through what was suppose to fix my connection. A couple of hours prior, I got a very annoying text message from a very annoying person, a sign of what was to come.
Anyway, after unplugging and replugging things several times, I still have no access. I don't know if I am bothered by the fact that we failed at our efforts or that I am so attached to the Internet, I cannot enjoy an evening at home without being "connected," so to speak. I would've posted a new Project eHarm blog, but I can't get on eHarm at the moment. You see how even my dating (well more like lack of) is dependent on the web? Scary. How will human kind function without our computers and smartphones? We have advanced and evolved in so many ways, yet we have also regressed. I do not think I even know how to look up phone numbers in the Yellow Pages.I can't even conceive having to use a map to get directions instead of looking it up on the web or GPS! The Comcast support guy eventually told me it was my Mac that had a problem.
So, to make somewhat better this annoying night, I decided to turn off my laptop and get lost in a movie or two. At this point, some people would ease their anger by spending time with a loved one, work on a garden or take the dog for a walk. I on the otherhand have none of those things. I digress. Turns out, my Wii cannot connect to Netflix because the Internet doesn't work! I knew it! Comcast is to blame and not my computer. So, now I am doubly annoyed. Too annoyed to pack for this weekend trip and too worked up to read a book. Instead, here I am furiously typing on the small keypad of a Blackberry complaining about this night to all of you. Poor you.
If you read this, thank you for letting me vent and I apologize for wasting your time.
You should have come swimming. It was fabulous. And we already know technology hates the pool. Although the Berry eventually recovered, briefly.
ReplyDeleteThat would've been better but I had to go pick up a gift and didn't get home until 9 p.m. Then I find out like around midnight I have to leave for HC right after work and hadn't packed yet. So, I have had a cluster(expletive) of a morning.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing you had your blackberry. I can't imagine the horror.
