Crawling through the desert sand...

No internet for several hours... servers down... Total nightmare... Breakdown imminent...

Where's that cold beer that's been haunting me...?

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?

The pain! Make it stop!

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.
