My friend ranted on her blog about how she no longer has internet at home.
That day [or it could've been the day after] she told it to me when we saw each other at work.
So I was like, "Then how about I bring my laptop tomorrow and you come to work early?"
Friend: "Like how early?"
Me: "Come at 5." She [and I] starts work at 6. But I usually get to the restaurant at 5 anyways, cause of mum...
Next day.
Exactly 5 o'clock, I set up my laptop. I had to connect the laptop to my phone and everything for the internet which took me around 2 minutes (it's actually long once you think about it. I have to do this every time I turn on the computer [that is, if I wanted to use the internet]...) And then I got out the electronic fan so that my computer doesn't overheat [again], a mousepad and a mouse...
I waited...
The waiting part wasn't that bothersome since I leisurely spent my time reading the extremely-awesome-it-should-be-illegal The Legend of Sun Knight (it's a Chinese Light Novel by none other than Yu Wo who also wrote 1/2Prince and No Hero, as well as many other popular series).
At 5.45, I was like; *closes my book with a "plap" sound* *stands up* *walks over to my laptop* *exits Google Chrome* *turns off computer which takes around a whole minute!!* *turns off phone* *puts away mousepad and mouse* *puts away electronic fan* *puts away laptop into its designated case and all else back into bag* *continues reading*
And 6 o'clock came...
I ran into [my friend] in the kitchen. Me: You're one hour lat...
Friend: Ahh! It's so great! The internet came back on today!! *squeals*
Me: ...
Friend: Kyaa! *and then she walks off*
After a while...
Me: Wait, earlier, did you say that your internet came back on today?
Friend: *nods nods enthusiastically* That's right! Isn't that great!??
Me: ... *smiles* aha, yeah...
And then she smiled happily at me which only increased the annoyance...
Aah... life...
Ohh....Mahou-chan~!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for making you annoyed!! I didn't forget, but I was in Cooroy the whole day...grr, and I didn't get back home to pretty late, and the modem had arrived in the post, and everyone was pretty insistent on installing it immediately.
So after eating, (I hadn't eaten since breakfast :O), we got to work trying to install the modem. But it wasn't working. Typical of that lousy Telstra company..
And when I was about to tell mum to take me to work early, because I didn't think that the modem would be done in time, so there was no point in installing it before work, so I was going to go early like planned and go on your internet, until mum decided she would ring telstra and get them to help. Just as I was about to get her to drive me there....*sigh*
I was nearly late for 6:00pm!
But, I am very happy. Because mum managed to get it to work~! As you can probably tell, otherwise I wouldn't be commenting on your post.
Also, sorry for not explaining much at work. If I stay and talk in one spot for too long, I get shooed off the do something else..hehe..
Aha...
