I have had it with eircom! For the last thirteeen days, my net connection has been stumbling, staggering and is now in a deadly silence. To add salt to the wounds, I phoned up the eircom automated responce line, only to be told that the fault has now been rectified. I'll take quite a lot, but don't lie brazenly to my face. As judge judy says "don't piss on my leg, and tell me its raining!". So I've just signed up to perlico's wireless broadband, which apparently uses mobile phone like signals. So if the plug in modem is half as fast as the broadband I'm used to in work, it is fair to say, I shall be telling eircom to go and fuck themselves!

I feel like I've lost a limb, and my daily routine has been shot to shit. I can only respond to emails, plan my holiday, watch my daily dose of you tube, my online banking etc etc only during lunchtime. To "live" this sometimes very pitiful existence, it is great to find comfort in numbers, and to find kindred spirits, where distance is not an issue. I know only too well the horrors which isolation can bring, and believe you me, am in no mad rush to revisit them. At least I got through carrolyn jessop' book "Escape", which is a brilliant read, which constantly makes you want to read just one more page. I no longer feel any need to participate in any celebration of the appauling insignificnce of easter, and for me now it is just another day, made longer and more protracted by the fact that everywhere is closed,and you can do or see not a single thing.
