Inspired by the scenario: The day the internet disappeared (from the Urgent Optimists)
The rain poured out of nowhere like the storm kicked out the sunny day. But I am grateful to arrive in the office just in time before I get soaked. It’s a Monday rush, you see, and I still have deadlines. And like I always do upon arriving at my desk, I lay out my phone, and it was a curious thing to see a national public advisory about losing the internet for 14 days. Is this a joke? I just braved the rain, to go to work, and receiving this kind of announcement is confusing. I just don’t know how to move forward in about ten minutes. You see, all our working files are shared online! Does that mean I won’t have work for 14 days? Will we still get paid if we won’t be able to work? Gah. Makes me remember the last time we didn’t have internet service, and ATM withdrawals are basically useless. Now I regret not withdrawing money yesterday. I don’t know where to get money now.
