When It Rains...

Now my work computer is acting wonky. I was having problems connecting to the Internet due to some obscure TCP/IP snafu.

After spending 3 hours working on the system with a blowtorch and a pair of pliers, it works intermittently. This episode has certainly highlighted how incredibly dependant I have become on an Internet connection.

Hell, I even get antsy when I visit someone's house if they don't have a connection.

What if I have to look something up? I worry to myself.
