DONGLE EMERGENCY!
The other day I swore
I would never do ‘courageously pathetic’. I never said I wouldn’t do pathetic.
I’ve been doing
pathetic all this week and now on top of that
I’ve got a cold as well.
I don’t have a
broadband connection (too boring to explain why) and I rely on a dongle. Every
so often I gorge on Wi-Fi at that well-known local charity:
Caffe nero
My dongle is now about
to run out and I’ve mislaid the piece of paper on which I wrote the date and
time it cuts off and which I put aside so carefully three months ago.
Also, I have gone over
the monthly allowance already and I don’t know when it runs out.
Gulp.
On top of that ‘The
Megalopolis Mobile Monopoly Inc.’ who supply me with my dongle have stopped the
special one-off cut price introductory deal that I have exploited over and over
and over again for some two years now.
As a result I’ve been
staggering around town, going into mobile phone shops and high tech stores, so
that sales assistants aged about 9 years old can be shown an ancient exhibit (me)
that’s escaped from the local museum (think Night at the Smithsonian) and is trying to understand the technological
revolution that is taking place. I’m providing an educational experience.
What I can’t understand
is why when I found the Dongles this Blog so desperately needs, I was unable to
persuade the sales assistant to open the locked cabinet and sell them to me,
because the offer has now been withdrawn. That’s not very 21st
century.
Grrrh.
The Blog fights on and
so do I……at least while the data lasts.
I think I can do
something…….but who knows.
