That's when the net goes down @ the office. Within a quarter of an hour, I tend to find myself in the nearest Starbucks or Second Cup, wifi card in hand. More than 1 hr w/out the net, I start to get depressed. The joys of modern communication. I get the shakes and then the sweats, and paranoia starts to set in.

I felt lost. I didn’t know what to do. I turn on the TV and found the TV was down as well. No internet and no TV! The world must be coming to an end! Of course it turns out something went wrong at Shaw that knocked out the cable internet and TV service in my area. Still, life without the net is a scary thing to go through.

Check into DSL so next time you will not have this problem. You should have made a spur of the moment trip while this was going on. Setting around and waiting will make you crazy.

Ignore the haters, us web business folk rely on it as much as we rely on the blood that pumps through our veins.

Just visit a strip club in your city (Canada has some nice ones, I know from personal experience)and you'll forget about the Internet, at least for a while ;-) John, there is life outside the cyber world.

Really I can't see anything sad in enjoying your job to the point you miss it. It is much more sad waking up in the morning and puking at the thought of your job imho.

If I had the freedom like you to not have to pay too much attention to my sites, I would take full advantage of that! That’s slightly sad, no offense.
