So the wifi at work is like, punishingly slow. Has been all week. I’ve tried restarting it, nothing helps, it just is what it is.
The wired-in Internet is fine, so we can mostly do our jobs without noticing, and since my coworker browses Facebook on his computer not his phone, he doesn’t particularly notice.
I have my personal laptop and while waiting for things I look at Tumblr on it. It’s all blank spaces where images should be, and since none of you savages use any kind of image descriptions, it’s just wide open whitespace with occasional completely out of context commentary, which is sort of Dadaist but mostly not worth looking at.
Instagram on my phone is also mostly blurry things that don’t load. I’ve realized I follow too many people; the vast majority of them I’m like oh good this lets me skip Stories faster. Hm, I should re-evaluate. Except I do sometimes get something I value out of those things… I’m not good at unfollowing.
But what’s really hilarious is that our printer works over wifi, and so everything seems to be working just fine except when we need to print something, and since my coworker so rarely uses the wifi he has forgotten every time, and every time starts theorizing about what could be wrong.
“Our wifi is choked,” I remind him. He doesn’t believe me, and tries to give me troubleshooting advice until he gets distracted, and then literally twenty minutes later the printer finally spits something out and he’s all astonished because he’s forgotten about it.
It helps that he just mostly doesn’t pay attention to me, LOL. Fortunately I’m the one who’s printing stuff, so I don’t do something silly like try several times to print the thing. I just wait, now.
