I just got a job selling internet and the internet at my house in Ogden is down and out (same company I'm working for now).
It's a little ridiculous and highly ironic. That's why I didn't write anything for yesterday [it is hard to post anything when your internet is out (Though I could have written something quick on my phone.) ]
Not having the internet is comparable to a general walking into a battle to discover his important cavalry division isn't going to make it to the battle and he'll have to go it alone.--you grow to rely on the internet so much that it very much could bring your downfall when it doesn't show up.
The good news is that I'm not alone...all of my hometown is out (I suppose that isn't good news, is it?). I got an inside scoop of what the issue was (because my mother works for the same company in the installation side) and apparently one of the employees was instructed to pull out a specific card in order to complete a project and that card was triggered to erase the memory of the system when pulled out. It's been out for about 40 hrs and when you call in the automated recording says that "[they] know about the problem and are fixing it, have a great day." Click.
Thankfully I have a 3g card that I can do basic stuff with, which is what I'm using right now. Even though when technology fails it is catastrophic (think japan and nuclear reactors), there is always another technology to help fix the mess (we'll have to wait and see what japan uses to fix their problems, but as for me my problems can be fixed with a simple 3g card.) Internet; mleh.
