I cant live, if living is without you

this is what happens when the broadband isn't working
sad eh....
(original picture removed)

Things to do when your broadband is down....

1. Check your connection every 2 to 3 minutes even though you have already established that the problem isn't at your end.
2. Develop Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
3. Phone the amusingly named Virgin "Help desk" and mutter things like, "Help Desk? Don't make me laugh..."
   
4. Phone the amusingly named Virgin "Help desk" and swear at the recorded message saying things like, "I'll inconvenience you....."
5. Phone your girlfriend, wake her up, ask her if her broadband is working, start a fight because you are pissed off and now so is she.....but for very different reasons.
6. Take modem apart, instantly regret it, panic, and put it back together vowing never to do that again.
7. Put the radio on to see if there has been a terrorist attack on the internet, realise that it's pretty unlikely but carry on listening to a discussion on charity giving. Did you know people in the UK give more money to animal charities each year that give to the disabled etc....
8. Calm down a bit when your girlfriend phone's back to tell you that the broadband in her house isn't working either.
9. Exasperated, frustrated, and annoyed you should sit back and try and remember what it was like pre-internet.
10. Wonder to yourself what everybody else is doing......and are they missing you.......
11. Discover the photo booth feature of your new iMac and spend the next 3 hours making videos of yourself with an elongated face etc.
    

I had a much more interesting post planned for today but the good folks at Virgin Media had other ideas, the bastards. And now I'm off to work......again......arrrrgggghhhh

And Upset Waitress was very badly wronged by me yesterday when I forgot to include her in the Blog Carnival Posts of the Week. I'm very sorry Waitress, very very sorry....
