I've had no internet connection since last evening, so I'm on my phone, typing out this entry on my tiny, haptic keypad. I'm also getting over a cold that I'd caught two days ago; it started off as a nasty sore throat but died down the very next day after aggressive gargling (salt water, peroxide) and Theraflu usage. If this were COVID, there would have been no dying down, so at least it's not that. I'm supposed to meet a friend for dinner tomorrow; I think I can do it, but I'll see how things are in a few hours.
Meanwhile, the most bothersome thing is my lack of an internet connection. I'm in an old building, and these sorts of lapses happen all the time, but they usually don't last this long. If I'm still Net-less at 6 this evening, I'll probably phone a repairman. We'll see. Meanwhile, I've got scheduled posts to last me through the beginning of March, so my five semi-faithful readers ought to be entertained.
More news later.
Was your old job paying your Internet?
ReplyDeleteNo. Internet simply came with being a resident of this apartment building. I assume the cost of it was folded into the monthly "admin fee," and now, it'll be part of my utility bill. But I should probably check.
DeleteDoesn't your phone have a mobile hotspot option? That's what I do when my internet goes out.
ReplyDeleteIt does have that option, but I'm not on unlimited data, so I'd use the allotted data up pretty quickly and would have to pay extra for going over the limit.
