The Day the Internet Died

So I came home to a wonderful surprise on Sunday evening – my internet had been cancelled by the guy who is best described as my landlord’s handyman. She had told him to look into it, because I’m leaving soon, and he told her that it would take a couple of months to go through so she said to go ahead.

I think he mistook that for “I’d like this done as quickly as possible please,” because my internet didn’t take two months to die. It’s dead now. This guy is a really good guy, and a great help to both my landlady and me. The problem in this instance is that his efficiency and efficacy worked to rob me of my internet connection. We’re working on a solution.

In the meantime I decided to try and upload my vlog for today from somewhere else. First I had to overcome the fact that most of my hard drives wouldn’t work with my work Mac, and then I went in search of WiFi.

Of course nowhere I went had working WiFi, including the McDonald’s where I made the mistake of buying food before finding this out. I finally landed at a local American themed diner and (thankfully) started uploading the vlog.

Apparently they have a limit set on how much you can upload, because it keeps failing. And they’re closing in ten minutes.

So there will be a vlog at some point, just not today. In the meantime, enjoy your internet while you have it. You never know when it will just up and disappear on you.

EDIT: I may have actually gotten it to upload, they stayed open for another hour and are of course kicking me out with only a few minutes left to finish the upload. It may be here if you’re lucky.
