The Internet’s down!
What will we do? A question for which one of those wise old people I grew up with who always had an answer (usually right) comes to mind: “What did people do before we had the Internet?”
Hmmmm. I have to think about that. I think we waited. So, that’s what I did this morning. At other times in my life, I might have felt anxiety over that, but not this morning. I appreciate the old adage, “when the going gets tough – the tough go to lunch”.
In this particular vocation, I read a modicum of rather dull government documents. I get those documents off the web, so my planning consists of walking into my office in the morning, hitting a few sites on the web, and finding something I think is necessary or interesting in our business, and opening a blank document. I get a number of my quotes and topic information off the web, but not this morning…the Internet’s down!
I cannot imagine sending off to a government agency for a mailing, or going to some office to retrieve a document I may or may not be able to make sense out of and turn into something interesting or relevant.
I’d planned to write a piece about SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder: Is it Real? Since it didn’t, I’m laying feelings and opinions out there. We all have those, and as we all do, I find mine most interesting and valid. Perhaps they are not so interesting or relevant to your life, tough cookies, the Internet was down!
