Disaster!

Woke up this morning -the first day of my week off work- to find out my internet connection had died: "could not connect to server" my Messenger proclaimed. A quick check of the internet proved the same: "cannot find page".
Help!
I *need*, no I *deserve* to waste my time on the internet when I don't have to work. Granted, there are much more useful things I could do *cough*buying and or posting Christmas presents*cough* but fuck that! I wanted to waste a few hours reading smut.

I contemplated the options. Disturbing Spike in the middle of a job interview to play Helpdesk (which he loves), was not one of them. He'd kill me. There was no other choice but to try and fix it myself. Punching the monitor seemed pretty pointless, so I looked at my modem. One of the little lights was orange instead of green. A-ha! A clue!
I carefully unplugged the wires. And plugged them back in.

And hey presto! Here I am!
I knew I should have gone for computer studies instead of psychology... I knew it.
