Ah no, the internet was down this morning! It always gives you this small feeling of panic when it flatlines, the first part being, “What did I do? What did I do?” as you wrack your brains to think what you might possibly have done to unplug your connection, upset your gyro-defibulator or cheese off the gods of connectivity.
Once that’s over then you hit the logical conclusion of “What did THEY do?”
Because let’s face it, 9/10 times it’s someone else’s fault! (And 3/5 of those times it’s actually legitimately their fault!) While annoying, this is also curiously satisfying. You can send blame to some nameless, faceless, peon out there who is obviously incompetent, moronic and probably has to wear earphones that remind him to “breathe in, breathe out” and since you can’t do any work you might as well play solitaire or chat to your sweetie via mxit.
Still, the second the connections back up… oh the might! Oh the glory! It’s more rapture then a whole a scion of happy-clappy church goes could ever hope to feel! Someone once said they couldn’t imagine life without the internet and what did people used to do before it existed? Well I’ll have you know I’m old enough to remember when there was no net! And bugger me if I can remember what the heck we did back then? Probably actually got sunshine and exercise, what a thought!
