I reached the bandwidth cap for the internet today. Two days teasingly before the end of the month. I’m still trying to get over the shock.
There’s nothing worse (well there is plenty, but they can wait their turn),then setting the PC on, clicking on your browser, all dewy with hope and expectation, only for that blasted notice to merrily pop up, saying, in essence, “You’ve run out of ‘width, sorry for you, Hahahaha, whatta shmuck!!!”
It’s terribly depressing, it makes you lose faith in humanity. Like when you don’t get to have bananas for breakfast, it’s just wrong on a micro-molecular level! You feel grumpy. No depressed! No frantic!! No… You couldn’t have more mood swings if you mixed all up all your medication again!
And when it disappears then suddenly, yes suddenly, your memory comes firing on with a brilliance that is well near blinding as you remember everything you had to do on the net! The mails you had to write, the status updates you planned, oh they were to be so witty, the work you needed to mail, the cow you needed to shoot in Farmville...
And yet here you sit, without internet, frantically trying to remember what it is you used to do before the net existed, because there was a time like that once right? But every book looks unsavory, every movie seems blah, and go for a walk in the sunshine? Are you freaking mad? That stuff’s bad for you! I read it online… sob… online…
And so in the end you end up dishing out and paying up to get it back up again. And you tell yourself how annoyed you are to be controlled like this, and how unfair it is and… oh look! I got an email telling me I’m the 999 999th person to log on, cor I’m so cool!!
*And everything else in the background fades to neglected black*
