I have come to the realization I am an internet addict. Yes, really I am. Since I have moved into my new place I have been without my DSL for 3 weeks. Let me just say the withdrawals have NOT been nice. I have been cranky, miserable and just generally unpleasant to be around. I didn't figure it out until last night that this was the reason I have been so unhappy.
I have SBC for DSL service and let me tell you I have given them a piece of the little bit of mind I have left. WHY does it take 3 weeks to transfer my DSL service from one place to another? Why are you advertising DSL service, knowing full well that it takes 2-3 weeks to get installed? I have been talking to supervisors and managers and they all have the same answer..."I don't know." Well, why don't you know? See? See how bad off I am? I have complained so much about not having DSL, SBC has given me a 3 month credit for DSL (once the MF is on), dial up free, and a "special" price of $12.95 per month. That STILL didn't make me happy, but I took it. I have been using dial up and all it does is frustrate the hell out of me. I feel like I am back in the 1990s with the 24kbp and you thought that was fast. UMMM NOT! I keep getting kicked off line, the service is so slow, that I have just said forget it. I am so miserable when I am at home.
One SBC manager called me up yesterday and said my DSL was up and running yesterday. I got so EXCITED! I was thinking about all the web pages I needed to go to (because some of them are blocked at work) and emails I need to write. And what happened? NOT A DAYUM THING!! NO $%&* DSL! IT WASN'T ON YET! I was and still am pissed about it. But I am trying to not call today because I might lose ALL control and go off on EVERYONE I talk to at SBC. Don't tell me the dayum thing is on and get me all hyped, just to get let down! Okay...see? I have to calm down.
I have to have my daily internet fix. I have to have internet access at work, at home, on my PDA, and on my cell phone. If it isn't working in one of those places, then that throws my whole world off its axis. I am one of those people that would be escorted off the premises because I have too much internet usage. I am writing this post at work and praying no one comes into my office until I am finished. I can't help it! I am seriously addicted!!
Anyone know of a twelve step program?
