The Cookie Returneth
I was offline all last week because of my cable company doing line replacements in my neighbourhood. In a perfect storm of technical difficulties, the router at my office went belly up (taking about a week to replace through warranty) and I was unable to get access to the internet. This is where the story gets interesting.
Being offline for the better part of the week taught me that I am somewhat addicted to the internet. When I couldn't get on line I was irritable and very angry with "that stupid cable company". I went through all the stages of loss, arriving at acceptance around Friday. Getting back online was just as bad. I spent WAY too much time catching up with my favourite blogs and news sources. Now, I have to work my tail off to catch up on a few loose ends!
I have just arrived at my new years resolution (yeah, I know I'm a little late), I will make more of an effort to unplug, filling my time with other pursuits. I have a feeling that resolution won't last long.
