The Joys of Traveling in the Connected Age

Patricia October 5th, 2007

Just a short note to let you all know that I’m on the road (again).  I have the ever faithful, Jackie, answering my phones — though she will not see e-mails.  I’m trying to keep up with e-mails, but it has been tough with an unexpected bump in my traveling road — I have spotty internet.  Oh, my — can you feel my pain?

Over the past years, I’ve become a connected addict.  I need my internet hit.  Here’s the short list of things I’ve had to do that I’ve not done in years — thank you the internet.

  • Used a phone book.
  • Used the phrase, “I’m going to have to get back to you because I need to CALL someone for the answer…”
  • Wandered around declaring “I need a hit” and meant the internet and not coffee.

Oh yes, the past several days have been REALLY hard.  Currently, I’ve a brief moment of free wireless to upload this little missive.  But the net of my point is that I’m struggling with a connection issue and traveling on top of it — which makes me HIGHLY out of sorts.  I’ll be back in the office soon and back to a connection as fast as I can.

(now someone please tell me how in 2007 we can not just have GLOBAL high speed connections without having to worry about the fact that the cable lines are 35ish years old and um, rotting.  Don’t they know who *I* am and that I NEED my internet?)

So, while I’m gone, please play nice in here, ok?
