On Withdrawal...

I came into the office yesterday and tried to log on to my computer so I can start my day (with actual work, I had lots to do...) and the internet would not connect.
NO INTERNET!!!!!! FOR THE WHOLE DAY!!!!! ON A MONDAY!!!!
So I couldn't do any work, I couldn't read my e-mail, I couldn't blog, I couldn't even read the news from around the world. My boss was livid, because the guy he hired to come in on Saturday to fix ONE computer ended up knocking our whole wireless system out. So the guy had to come in yesterday and spend the day with me and my boss doing what should have been checked on Saturday before he left. Let me tell you, no real estate office should be without internet because that would be the day that everyone and their mother wants to call about this house or that house...
So I spent the day yesterday reading the boring old local newspaper, watering the plants that I've left to die, and pretty much just hanging out. At least if I don't have anything to do any other day I look busy- but yesterday it was laughable. I was desperate for something to do. And of course it was unheard of that I go home early...
But my boss made sure the guy fixed my wireless, the bad news is that now all the other computers are going to have to get hard-wired because for some reason, they won't connect to the wireless...
So I'm back. And I don't have pics of my New Niece (that will be her name here, even though we were calling her No-No in the hospital because every time someone asked if she had a name you would hear "No, No" from everyone else in the room.) yet, because I have to upload them. And since I have some work to catch up on, they may not come till tomorrow...

***Asshole. Pleading not guilty. Asshole.

***I'm sorry, but who the hell gave 911 operators the right to determine which calls are fake? Just send the fucking cops or ambulance out! Then yell at the person who might have made a prank call. But that little boy who was doing what his mother taught him by calling 911? And watched his mother die? Because the bitch on the phone thought he was "playing on the phone"??? She could have been saved!!! What is wrong with you? Fucking people in this world, seriously. SERIOUSLY! FUCK!!!!!!!!

I guess there should be a 12-step program for all of us addicted to the internet.

A whole day without it? Might as well just stay in bed.

I would probably have a meltdown without the Internet. Especially at work.
