No getting away from it, it was bad. I had to drag my Dunkirk spirit out of its box in the attic and everything.

About 75% way thru meeting with idiot new boss, I swear the dream of a cold beer was all that got me thru...

Hope you got yours!

(o: - I stuck with wine; the howling winds and snow didn't feel like cold beer weather.

I hope you got yours.

Internet withdrawal is a bad, bad thing. Hope the beer helped.

Hee. It's not really the weather for cold beer so I stuck to a good red wine - and it did help, yup. (o:

Jikes, I hate it when that happens, even though I don't like to admit being an Internet junky. I can easily spend a few hours (or even a day, go figure!) away from it, but only when it's my personal choice. To have an Internet abstinence forced on you sucks big time.

I hope you found that beer and it got you through it. {{Hugs}}

lol - no beer, no, but some nice wine and a roaring fire (it's cold out there!)

No internet??? I'd be chewing my arm off. Rather be without both phone and television.

Me too. I had to watch TV all evening, can you believe that?

i'm glad i have cable internet. even so, if my 'net died, i'd just stitch, assuming the lights hadn't died, too. of course, i'm well-equipped to handle net-outage: i go SCA-camping regularly, and refuse to bring my laptop along. *despite* the fact that there are a lot of events with internet cafes set up - especially longer events like Gulf Wars or Pennsics.

You're very strong, if you can avoid taking the laptop along.
For times when I'm internet-challenged I have a pile of zines to curl up with.
