Here it is. Something else I hate. And this one, I hate very, very much.
As a matter of fact, while I was typing this, my internet decided to cut out. Thank you, Charter! Last night, I was freaking out about how much I hate computers (when in reality I meant the internet), and I said I was going to blog about it. And my sister so comically replied, "If you can get online."
Because here's the deal with my internet: sometimes, out of nowhere, it will disconnect. Magically. All by itself. Which may be my fault, because I did name my wireless router Harry Potter. And it could be doing spells to shut itself down.
But somehow I doubt that.
I'll be in the middle of something really important, like watching America's Next Top Model online, and my internet will just stop. I'll see this little flashing red light on my router, telling me to prepare to freak out. So I'll unplug all my internet hardware. And I'll leave it unplugged for thirty seconds, just like Charter always tells me to do. And when I plug it back in and expect it to work, it doesn't.
Just great.
And what else is just special, is when I try to call Charter about my internet, and sit on hold for an hour. I'm not kidding. One hour. To be told to unplug my stuff and plug it back in. And it works for two days, or in the last case, two hours. And then it stops.
So, tired of waiting on hold (and they don't even have music, they have talking advertisements), I decided to chat with them online. But how am I supposed to chat with them online when my internet isn't working?!
It's a vicious, vicious cycle.
And other than internet connection, I don't have much of a problem with the internet. In fact, I love many of the web sites the internet provides me with. I mean, I can Google anything I want, and I can get up-to-the-minute news on celebrities. And I have this really cool weather widgit on my desktop. So, besides the disgusting message boards that show pictures of skinned animals, the internet's great. If only you didn't have to connect to it...
Let's see if my connection holds up long enough to post this...
Sounds like you need a new ISP! Have you heard of the Rover Puck? Not only can it give you home internet but you can take it around your entire city-wide hotspot. You can post about things you hate while you're waiting for the bus ;D. It's also pay-as-you-go, so if you're going on an international adventure or taking an internet break, you don't have to pay for it while you're away. It's worth taking a look-see; the design is pretty bomb, too. Hope your internet problems get better Stacy!
