Almost one week we were cut off from our fixed telephone line, Internet and television. No, not because we didn't pay the bill, but because we thought it a good idea to change the ADSL provider. This new provider told the old one to cut us off ("coupé" in French) and we had to wait 5 days before we received the new wifi-box. I don't care so much about tv, but for the rest it felt like being cut off from the rest of the world. Luckily I have many books waiting to be read and the weather was nice, so I sat outside in the autumn sun, reading my book and waiting for the door bell with the post woman to bring this stupid box. The first days I was really annoyed, phoning as angry as I can in French, after having wrestled with the telephone menus that I hardly understand.
Made me think of how dependent we've got on the computer, Internet, telephone and so on. Or is it because I don't so many people around here?
Anyway, I wanted to blog about a French KM-conference I visited beginning October. I admit, I don't blog much these days, but still it feels frustrating the moment I wanted to blog it was not possible.
