Sometimes things are difficult or drawn-out! Sometimes things make you tense, sometimes people exasperate you…

but how often do you blow your modem? Literally!

About a week ago or so, I was happily doing my thing on my computer, my computer is on at least 20 hours a day; the Internet that whole time as well. I am a multi-window browser.

On any given day I have my Etsy, my Blog, my Facebook, my twitter, craftcult.com, craftopolis.com, and various other websites that are open. I am addicted to Google Analytics open a bunch of hours a day. If you look at the bottom of my screen there are 4 browsers open, and within those browsers an average of 5 browser tabs open. I am a constant thought person… I really thrive on Multi-tasking.

With all this activity I throw at my computer, plus the extra no break my husband provides to our Internet service… we blew our modem. Didn’t think it was possible did you?? First we blew the fuse itself with the modem, had to plug in the modem to a whole other jack, after a few days…. total Internet disconnect. No Internet because we baked the modem to oblivion!

Completely toast, kaput, no function… one little red light of dismay! Multiple phone conversations with the Nice Folk over at Bell Canada; who were perplexed sent me a new modem in a day flat and with patience and a million questions help me figure out why I was Internet less.

So, here I am back on… Finally! 3 days feels like an eternity to me. All browsers open again, 5 tabs on the browser currently… and a smile of redemption on my face.
