Dial-Up

Our DSL was accidently turned off by either Earthlink or SBC (no one seems to want to take the blame...they really don't even know what happened) and we've been on Dial-up for several days now.

Earthlink and SBC have teamed up to torment me...not to mention that the SBC guys are going/or have gone on strike. Wonderful. All they friggin' have to do is go to a little room somewhere and flick a switch.

Now they say, definitely by Thursday the 27th. Great.

So...how spoiled have I become ?? People are dying all over the earth...people are suffering from horrendous diseases or they're suffering from man's neverending penchant toward violence...people are desperately lonely and craving affection or even attention.

I have become so damned spoiled and unappreciative.

Dial up at 49.2 suddenly doesn't seem like such a devastating thing.
