I’m sure all of you have seen the commercial where the guy chucks his laptop out the window and says, “What? It had a virus!” Well, I’ve been battling this cold. I gave in and went and visited the doctor today who told me what I already knew and predicted what he’d say, “You’re pretty much over it now. Why don’t you go home, take a couple Advil and call me in two days.” Sort of.
So, I’ve been very much up and down with how I’ve felt, really for about 3 weeks. This morning I got up, was alive, sort of, and limped into the living room holding my head which felt like I was coming off the biggest hangover in history. I sat down at my computer, looked at my wife and said, “I can do this. There’s really nothing to blogging. I’ve been doing it long enough now, I should be able to throw up some material before I die.”
I quickly began to scan through my emails and managed to get up one fast post, short and sweet. Then my system went crash. For nearly an hour I tried to do something, anything, but nothing. I called Earthlink, you know, that place where everyone that you talk to has some thick foreign accent and you have to keep saying what, excuse me, could you repeat that, please, could you slow down and speak English and help on old, half-deaf man out here?
It is now nearly 6 p.m. and I still have no DSL, only dial-up and the pain of it is driving me insane. I can barely keep up with emails say nothing about anything else. I was told that I might be back up within 24 hours.
Is this a conspiracy??????Hmmmmmm!
