Darn You, Internet!!
I was going to write an introspective entry about the fact that we're flying out to Nashville next week to record a musical that my wife wrote...and how cool it is going to be...and the emotions that accompany such a journey...
But honestly, right now the main emotions I feel are panic, frustration, stress, and anxiety...BECAUSE MY INTERNET IS DOWN at home. !!!!!!!
I can't send any emails from my home computer with attachments...I can't upload Pro Tools sessions to my iDisk...or do any of the hundred things I normally do on a day-in and day-out basis in order to do my job. And of course it had to happen this week, the week before we leave...And now everything is taking twice as long because of the gazillion work arounds + time on the phone with AT&T trying to get it fixed + time with the technician that comes out to fix it + him telling me he can't fix it + all of the copying of data to external drives and trips to Starbucks to upload files (what I'm doing right now) and the eons of time wasted due to this incredible inconvenience.
I know I'm wallowing...I know, I know, I know...(wah wah)
I guess I had no idea how much I rely on the stupid internet in order to live.
I know there's a lesson the Lord is trying to teach me in here somewhere...I JUST KNOW IT...but I'm too caught up in the moment right now to see it...
OK...I better go, only 2 more hours until this 600MB file is done uploading (thank you, slowestinternetconnectiononplanetearth).

You just said frownie faces.
How did that "going offline" challenge you did a few months ago go?
@klappyanne - let's just say I did better with the sugar thing...
@marshallismyalias - it's better than "frownsies faces", wouldn't you say??
I'm so sorry. Yes, we do rely on our internet connection . . . probably too much. I freak out a little when we have issues at home, too, because I now need it to run my business, not just for fun stuff. Bleh. I do have to say that we almost never have issues with Cox, though - it's usually just a computer glitch that JD can fix easily. Yay for that!
