A Day Without Internet
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007You know, I can quit any time I want. I really can. I just don’t want to do it with no notice, and gradually over the course of a busy morning of impending deadlines.
I suspect Time Warner’s infamous local disservice because when I checked my voice mail, I listened to Fembot speaking as though she were standing in front of a very large fan.
In any case, with spotty service, I had to resort to the telephone to do business. I ran some errands in advance of supremely cold weather tomorrow, sat with the Kid who was home sick from school, and managed to wrap some presents for mailing tomorrow. In other words, I was not allowed to sit in a chair for 8 hours staring at a screen.
Not too shabby.
One bonus of not working online but sitting and cleaning up the desktop is that I ran across some cool photos from last Christmas.

For a few brief moments, the light flashy thing the Kid bought with his allowance lit up the night.
