Anxious
My internet connection has been sketchy these last few days. It was out several hours on Monday, some amount of time this morning, and an hour earlier this evening. This is not okay. Do I need to explain why this is not okay? Not. Okay. Time Warner? Roadrunner? Whoever pipes the wonderfulness of the interwebs into my apartment? You’re listening? Because this is not okay.
I don’t like not having internet access at home. Even when it’s on, I don’t like not being fairly certain that it’ll stay on for the next few hours. Ugh.
In the grand scheme of things, having my own internet on my own computer in my own home (kind of), and having that internet work just fine over 99% of the time is a rare blessing, one which I usually take for granted. Nevertheless I’ve come to depend on it, and when that rare blessing is suddenly snatched from out the back of my laptop*? Ouch.
I’m not addicted. I can quit anytime, I swear. Just, you know, not today. Heh.

* Can you really say “from out the back of,” or did I just make that up? It was the first phrasing that came to mind, but when I typed it out I was all wtf? One noun, one article, and THREE prepositions?

My internet connection used to go out occasionally as well. It turned out that the modem was bad. I called the cable company and told them what I had done to try to fix it (and how nothing worked) and they sent someone out to check the connection coming in and the one from the modem to the computer.
