Lost without connection
During the last 3 weeks while changing company due to better conditions, our shared flat has been without any access to the WWW. Again I experienced how desperately I depend on this main medium of communication. Processes like registering for courses, checking the university calendar (I’m not even sure whether there still exists a printed edition), receiving emails with necessary course information, email-exchange with other universities and friends from overseas, online banking, music research, online shopping, … I could just keep going, but enough of that …
On the one hand I really regret to depend on my computer but on the other hand I just want the bloody IT-guy to drop by my house and FINALLY get the damn line fixed again so that I have all the conveniences I’m usually used to with my connection to the internet!
I’m just scared that I feel seriously lost without this connection.
