See this lady? She is clearly having computer problems. This is how I looked this morning when I found that the internet, email, and all internet-and-email-related activities were inaccessible to me due to some fiber optic cable being severed or something like that. Wait. I should clarify. I was not wearing a suit or heels. Nor did I grab at my hair. So I guess I really didn’t look all that much like this lady after all. Except that I was REALLY FRUSTRATED, which she appears to be. Although, since she’s a perfect stranger to me, I suppose this could be her joyous YAY face. You really can’t be sure about these things.
Anyway, about an hour ago I realized I had an air card with which I could get online. Cue the angels-singing-on-high music.
But this temporary lack of access to the outside world made me stop and think how pathetically reliant I am on the internet to do most anything. I mean, I literally felt like I was incapable of basic survival without it. Which got me to thinking about how much it would suck to be Amish, because I just finished a Jodi Picoult novel about Amish people and their lack of any electricity whatsoever…and because I personalize pretty much everything, I actually momentarily believed that I, without internet access, was able to empathize with the Amish.
But that was all before I got on line. Now I’m back to taking everything for granted again.
…I actually momentarily believed that I, without internet access, was able to empathize with the Amish.
lines like that make me wish you had a personal site!
All i wanted from life the other day was to check my myspace, and i was not allowed by the internet gods…i was pissed as all hell. i wanted to punch the computer. i yelled at it and everything.
so yeah, it brought me to the sad realization that I’m a complete loser….yippee skippy
