Slow WiFi

I'm really tired, so I'll keep this one simple and something everyone can relate to. In lieu of length, I encourage everyone to comment with their own gripe story about this particular topic.

If you did't read it above, I hate slow Wi-Fi. Really I just hate slow internet in general. So much of my life is wrapped up in the internet that if I have a slow connection, I start to lose my mind. I'm not one of those "check my Facebook every 32.9 seconds" people, and I'm even less a "tweet every little action and thought I have" person. But I do a lot with the internet, including entertain you, my faithful readers. When my webpage does not pop up in a time frame meeting my expectations, I start to wonder if something is wrong. I go into "diagnose" mode, where I search my computer for connectivity problems, maybe a virus, maybe I'm pushing my computer too hard. Oh, wait. No.

It's just slow Wi-Fi.

Arg! All the other things I could have done something about, but I'm in a public place, or at a friends house, and there's nothing I can do about it. Now I have to wait an extra 5 seconds to get my site up, or worse, have to refresh the page because it timed out. Refreshing is even worse on a mobile device, because I have fat thumbs, and I often end up not hitting the little refresh circle/arrow combination, but something else entirely. Oh well.

I'm sure all of you have your own experiences with slow Wi-Fi. Again, please feel free to comment below (or however it is you comment, I've never actually commented on my own blarg) with your own tales of Wi-Fi woe.

Goodnight. I'm tired.
