What do life and an Internet connection have in common?
The both develop patience and frustration, not necessarily in that order. I got online earlier today and then my connection was severed. I'm connected to the Internet by a telephone line, so this is a normal occurrence. However, today was different.

First the phone number to my provider was busy for about an hour and I couldn't get through. Then the server didn't answer in a timely manner. The problem was the load on the lines, but it was frustrating for a while. Then I decided to just be a little patient and do something else. That what patience is having something else to do in the meantime.

I'm back online, I have reviews to do and e-mails to answer. The e-mails may not get answered today because the reviews are coming first. It's going to take a while to do the reviews.
