I'm sure it looks like I'm making a big deal out of nothing. "Omg Nathaniel had no internets when there's people who have far worse things to deal with." But you know that's not my style. When I went to the agency last week about the job, I was given several websites to research before my interview on Monday. If I couldn't do that research then I didn't have a hope in hell of getting the job. That was the main issue for me. No internet = no job. Never mind not being able to apply for any others or check to see if I've had further offers of interviews.
There was also an added annoyance of the fact that I'd spent 3 days making an amazing graphic that I intended to post on the 23rd but I couldn't get it uploaded because it kept timing out. Now it's too late so it feels like all that time has been wasted.
I have very limited data allowance, I had to cut it down to 250MB a month because I couldn't afford 500MB, so I was using it sparingly. I still managed to use just over 30% of it in that week. My month ends on the 16th and seeing as I didn't know how much longer I'd be without a proper connection, I was trying to use the BT Wifi instead.
*cheers* *hugs* Living in the wilderness like that can be very frightening. Granted, I am living on the outskirts (borrowing my neighbors). I remember though, very much so, the week we had no power here. Forget internet, there was not even a light. Candles are a wonderful thing.
Coming back to the technological side - you feel very nervous at first, especially the first few days. THEN you get to cheer!!!
I think the worst thing was feeling so disconnected and lonely because all my friends are online :(
I didn't feel nervous when I came back to civilisation - well, maybe a little anxious that it was going to disappear any second - but I did feel rather overwhelmed thinking of the amount of stuff I had to catch up on!
I understand. My sanity (or rather the people that keep me sane) is online. I escape to give my mind a break to remember who I am. I still remember how stressful it was during the tornado (yeah, natural disaster aside), but it was the...OMG outside world...I need outside world.
I sometimes feel overwhelmed when it is only overnight.
Yay to getting back to civilisation. *hands you the promised cup of tea* I enjoyed reading the short story at the beginning of the post, a nice descriptive way to begin :)
