I got home from work tonight, and I plopped my ass down in my usual place on the couch. I took out my laptop to get some work done, and started booting it up.

I turned on the tv and flipped through my pre-recorded shows. I’ll save Hardball and Attack of the Show for later. What’s on live tv?

Ah… South Park. Ha… this episode is pretty funny. The entire country has no internet!

My computer comes on and I log in. So I check my work email.

I’m waiting… and waiting… and waiting… what the hell?

I do all the usual motions of reconnecting to the router, checking all the cables on the router and modem, everything!

So I went to my last resort. I called the cable company.

Ahhh… it’s not on my end. The prerecorded voice comes on and says there’s an outtage in my neighborhood and techs have been sent. THANK GOD!

As the characters on South Park were starting to go crazy without the internet, I was too!

I’m sitting there calling the cable company again to make sure it’s still out. I was watching the clock seeing how long I could wait to try my browser again.

How am I going to check my work email??? How am I going to do any work tonight (even though I’ve worked each of the last 5 nights after a full day at work as well)? How am I going to look up some guitar music for “band night” tomorrow? What the hell am I going to do?

In a small way I was starting to worry. Ok, so I didn’t travel to Californie… Silicon Valley that is like Stan and his family, but it still sucked none the less.

I admit it, I’m an internet junkie.
