Wouldn't that be nice!
I've been experiencing communication problems from home of late - for perhaps
more than a month. I don't know if it's the modem or the service provider, or
what, but while sitting and working in front of the computer I'll suddenly discover
that I'm not connected, and may remain that way for half an hour or more. Though
sometimes I can get through an entire evening without any problems, there are
other times (in the middle of a chat, for instance, or when I'm just about to
send some mail) when I distressingly discover that I'm not quite as constantly
connected as, seven years ago, I thought I was, and forever would be.
There are, of course, other activities that I can occupy my time with. Washing
the dishes, for instance, playing a game of Set with Hila, or falling asleep in
front of the television news. There's always a newspaper that hasn't been read,
or an article I've sent to the printer that's waiting precisely for a time such
as this, and the list of books that don't really get read by simply sitting on
my desk but actually have to be opened for me to understand them continues to
grow. Still, it would be nice if I didn't have these problems.
