nege's Journal: Life without internet: day 4

Today marks the fourth consecutive day without internet access at the apartment. Verizon comes to install the phone line tomorrow, and then speakeasy can get started with things on their end, but it could take up to two weeks from that point. By then, it may be too late. Things are hard, I will not mince words. As usual, you do not know how much you love something until it is gone. I am overwhelmed with grief that I cannot "get my packets from here to there" as Tycho so succinctly put it once.

How many times throughout the day do I wonder about something, (a question about anything really, from movie times, to product releases, to random factoids) and sit down at the computer for a quick answer? I think that is what I miss it for most, besides the surfing, and chatting, and...other stuff. I also started to get sick after the second day as well, though I am not completely certain that the two events are related. Please see this for referece, mere mortals.
