What You Do When Your Internet Is Down
Or rather, what I do…
#1 You tweet to yourself. In your mind. And you @ yourself. Absurd, I know but it keeps the jitters at bay.
#2 You call tech support 5 million times only to hear “we’re working on it” Working on what exactly? Our connection hasn’t worked right since we purchased it 2 months ago. IMC sucks!
#3 You start to freak out.
#4 Now that you have so much time on your hands, you start obsessing over meeting other mom bloggers in a few days. You know for that event I got invited too? What to wear? Will this be weird? Should I buy a new purse that doesn’t have pictures of cats all over it? Is anyone else 4’9? Wondering if I’ll be the only “country” girl there?
#5 You actually PLAY with your kids for several hours straight.
#6 You obsessively check to see if your internet connection has come back on.
#7 You discover internet connection is working and that the world DID in fact survive without you because you didn’t get any urgent emails saying otherwise. Ha!
Then the connection goes right back out. [Get yourselves together IMCTV. I’m paying you way too much money for this super unreliable crapola service.]
And, #1 through #7 starts all over again.
Sigh. I hear recognizing your addiction is the first step. ;)Labels: internet addiction, twitter addiction

Too funny. I think we've all been there! Time seems to stand still when you don't have the internet. Glad you survived. :-)
I've been there, too! I visited my brother recently. He hijacks a neighbor's wifi. It didn't work for me, neither did his dialup, so I went to Starbucks - where they were hijacking the Panera next door!
I have so been there. It took two weeks for our internet to get cut on at our new home, I nearly died!

How did we ever live without the internet? I seriously can't remember how I communicated with friends, bought birthday presents, purchased airplane tickets, or looked up information.

I understand! We had a 9 day outage. 9 DAYS!!!
Glad you're back on-line.
(P.S. Thanks for the Twittery link yesterday!)
