The week without internet

It was actually more than a week, but when I said something about it it isn't important.

I find it humorous that a company in this day and time takes days to even figure out that they don't have internet. Even when it became a company wide issue, because Mr. O can't or doesn't use the internet, it really wasn't an urgent issue until the clients started calling pissed off. Ridiculous is far to small a word.

To make the situation more humorous, I was asked if I could use wireless by April. Really, April? What wireless, do you even know what that is??? Firstly, I we do not have wireless. When I asked her whose wireless she asked if I knew somewhere in the building that I could use it. WHAT!!!! I use a desk top computer!!!! How would I get wireless from someone else? She looked at me confused.

A week later... we have internet and it has come to April's attention that we have a website.

April: So who answers www.blahblahblah.com?

Me: What? That is our website, no one answers it but there are links where they can e-mail individuals on the site.

April: But who answers www.blahblahblah.com?

Me: I am not sure what you mean, that is a website not an e-mail address... But as to the links on the website, you would answer the one directed to you, Mr. O would answer the one directed to him and so on...

April: So why don't we have someone answering www.blahblahblah.com? Because we should.


I just gave up at that point. She doesn't know what the internet is, no helping that. Why didn't the sky explode this morning? UGH!
