Teh internets are teh sux0rs

Sure, maybe my internet at the house villa might go out for days at a time, but I will never, never, never, never complain about the speed of it compared to here at work. It must be because the IP address here shows as Pensecola, FL instead of Bahrain. Huh?

Florida, Bahrain. Florida, Bahrain.

Makes sense, yes? Of course it doesn't, but that's because it's the military honey. This means we aren't getting our internet the conventional way, we're getting it through a damned satellite with a download speed of 125 kbps! I guess it's better than the upload speed of 74 kbps. Sad indeed.

I guess the reason my panties are all twisted about this is because I can't load any blogs or any fun web sites. They keep timing out. And with five hours more of work (heh, I said work) left, 8:30 am doesn't look like it's going to be coming any time soon.

I feel guilty complaining when ours goes out briefly. When we had the pipe break and "redecorated," we weren't hooked up for about a week. It was torture. I was at Starbucks often.
