A few minutes of pure terror

My first day off in weeks. I sleep in as much as I can, wake up, have some cereal and my morning coffee in my favorite mug, turn the computer on and try to check my email.

It times out and gives me an error message.

I try opening a web browser and the same thing happens. My internet is broken.

I restart and reconnect everything, including my computer. Nothing. I'm at my wit's end at this point. I want to call tech support but I don't even have a way of finding out their number without the Internet!!

But luckily, the third time must really be the charm because the third time I restarted my computer, it is now miraculously working again. I don't get it but I'm happy again.

We all know this but I just realized once again how technology-dependent we are, as a society.
