Published by simon on August 25, 2005Top Ten Things To Do When Your Internet Connection is Down
- Read your snail mail piling up on your desk.
- Remove all the junk pinned to you cubicle partition wall over the years – 1997 office memos, Dilbert comic strips (photocopied from In.Tech), takeaway menu from Domino’s/Ah Heng packed lunch, list national public holidays, advertisement for gym club membership, etc.
- Separate your trash into the three main categories for recycling – junk food plastic wrappers, finger nail clippings and bio-degradable left-over food.
- Do some REAL work for a change?
- See who among your colleagues can flick a paperclip the furthest.
- Launch 200 paper airplanes from the window of the 25th floor of your office.

My input:
Write my blog entry on a piece of paper and transfer it online, when the connection is back!
Cheers!!!
Call the god damn Steam-my-ass technical dept to complain and ask for a rebate …
knock kick bash your pc, even though you know it won’t do anything.
scream, ‘you stoopik stoopik stoopik internet’.
then hug your monitor and cry and say ’sorry, sorry i love you, pls come back’.
if all else fails, you go for favourite pastime of all govt servants lor - tea break!
tell your boss you can’t work due to network failure and take the rest of the day off
I tend to tidy up my PC, all the crap I’ve downloaded, organise what I want, delete all I don’t then go through all my e-mail and reply some I haven’t replied yet using offline mode..
Then go to sleep in the server room.
Well, either Roy Keane or Pat Vieira holds the record for the most dismissal in the EPL (the Vinny Jones Award), and we’ll see who are potential thugs who can beat the record. Neill should be more than half-way there by now. He got away scot-free when he broke Jaime Carragher’s ankle 2 years ago.
Whoops sorry, posted comments in the wrong place!!
Ah, must try to avoid such a scenerio, have a back-up internet connection. Dial-up also can-lah; may not be able to do the bit-torrent thing, but can still send and receive email, read soccernet, star online or simontalks………
Go down to the food court to have teh-tarik.
Go out and get some sun. With a Wifi notebook. And head for the nearest Hotspot. Yep.
Huahaha! Finally you can separate your arse from your chair without having them surgically remove. Take a walk and take time to smell the roses.
blog offline, and leave a comment asking “how come no ppl commenting my blog”?
and later find out that the modem is not working, not the Internet connection is down!!
