I can't believe how much I use (and take for granted) the Internet. Friday night, while I was on-line chatting with a friend, I was suddenly disconnected. (And, no, it wasn't because I forgot to pay the bill.) ;)
I spent the weekend trying to unplug and replug everything to no avail. I didn't call it in right away thinking that sometimes things come back up after a day or so. Today I caved in and finally called the cable company. After the guy on the phone decided that I wasn't the problem, he suggested that I trade in my modem and/or schedule an appointment with a technician. Fortunately, the cable company was still open so I traded in the modem for one that was half the size as the one that I had for almost 6 years...apparently those things don't last forever.
After another call to the company due to an error message (always fun to receive those things), I finally got back on-line! Woohoo!!!
Now that my Internet is reconnected, I am trying to catch up with everything I missed for the past 4 days. I am really tired but I am afraid that I will miss something if I go to sleep too soon tonight.
I wonder if that means I'm addited to the Internet. Nah, I just need to keep up with Farmville/Facebook, Amazon, emails, QueryTracer, various blogs,.... Hmmm, maybe I am addicted...
