Okay, so, I might have already mentioned a few times, here and there, about how I currently
don't have internet access at home. And how the internet access at my workplace
is completely blocked from nearly everything that makes life worth living. Yes,
you might already be aware of this.
You guys, this inability to access
the Internets is about to KILL ME DEAD. I get emails with links to funny
pictures or videos, I can't see them. People send me messages on Facebook, I
can't respond. I can read most of my favorite blogs, but I can't see the
pictures. I can't even see the comments on my own website. I can't look at
Flickr or Shutterfly. I have pictures I've taken stacking up on my computer, and
I can't upload them to share. Hell, I can't even back them up anywhere except my
Seagate drive; given our recent luck with computers, THAT scares the everliving
shit out of me.
(Yes, my company completely blocks Carbonite and other
online backup services. I KNOW, RIGHT?)
I'm almost resigned to sneaking
into Todd's work to borrow his computer. His company, unlike mine, has an open
web policy, despite the fact that they do all sorts of military-related stuff,
and really, WHY does a dirt and concrete company have more security than a
federal contractor? Tell me that.
(On a side note, you know what my old
company's internet policy was? It was something along the lines of, "Don't
download porn. If you do download porn, PLEASE don't save it to the server." I
miss those days.)
I clearly need a laptop. I loathe laptops, I despise
them, but if AT&T or Mediacom or whoever comes out on the 30th and tells us
they haven't run any line yet so we won't have internet until 2012, and I DON'T
have an alternative at hand, I will punch a technician in the face, see if I
don't.
