And you’re complaining WHY??

Day 86

I found myself getting irritated this morning when a webpage took longer to load than the usual  .59 seconds. Good grief, the internet is slow today.

Long pause. Fingers drumming. Hit refresh a couple times. More drumming.

Ah, but wait a second, self. Was it not a mere decade and a half ago ago that the only mode of communication available to you between continents was an unreliable crank phone and those flimsy blue aerograms? Were you not thrilled when email arrived and you could send messages to America that would get there in mere hours? Don’t you recall the joys of dial-up, where a page could take 3 minutes to load? Have you forgotten the wonderful technological age you live in now, in which you can instant message to Kenya and call home whenever you want with a good deal of assurance that you’ll actually get through?

Oh, yeah. I forgot . . . guess I’m just a spoiled brat. Thanks for the reminder.

Onward.
