Stupid @#$%^&*...

For a while there I kidded myself that I could get away with it. I was downloading this piece of software a while ago. I kinda got nervous when after an hour the download window said it was 40% finished. Blame it on the dial-up speed. I continued though, and half-slept through the process. Its my day off and its 3 am in the morning. What else would you have me do? Another classic situation where the I-can't-leave-this-until-its-done syndrome surfaced. The impermeable bubble was there once more, half-awake as I was.

Well, while dozing off my connection got cut. I woke up to the sound of the modem dialing up again. I could not recover what I have downloaded so far. As far as I can tell, it stopped somewhere between 80 and 90%. All those hours patiently waiting, wasted. All for what? Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh! I hate dial-up! What I hate more is the fact that I have no choice. Dial up is the only choice I have. Double aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!
