Tea and Other Ramblings

Lately I have been having trouble with my internet connection. If I could get online, the connection would only last about 5 minutes. Now some people might think that is not too bad, what with how much some people are online these days, but when you are in the midst of paying bills, THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING !!!!! Everything gets messed up, you lose information, you wonder how many other peoples bills you are paying because of the - surprise! you have no internet connection! - disruption in the transaction or something, and somethimes the internet provider comes on and says that they have fixed the prob - surprise! you have no internet connection! - lem, but then, - surprise! you have no internet connection! - it happens -surprise! - again! It gets very tiring. Sometimes you're not even sure if you got the bill paid. Try making your house - surprise! - payment and when you can finally can access you files a week later because for - surprise! - some unknown reason, you - surprise! - were able to get through, there is no record. HELP !!!!! It was also extremely slow like it couldn't make up its mind what it was supposed to do, or it just couldn't be bothered. "Sorry, I have better things to do than work for you right now!"
So what did I do? Changed internet providers of course! Sure they need to work out a few kinks like, oh yeah, don't put the wireless router underneath the desk if you want to be able to use the wireless connection downstairs (at least, in this house!), but other than that, so much better.
Just thought I'd share. So it hasn't been easy to do things online but now all I should have to worry about is writer's block when it comes to something to put on this thing!
Sorry about the grousing, but just maybe, if you are having problems with connectivity, it just might NOT be your fault!!!
Catch you later -- I'm going to go surf the net!!!
