And at the end of writing this post, I'm still on hold

I am on hold with Apple Tech support: "All our representatives are still busy. Please continue to hold for the next available representative." The Airport Extreme Base Station (i.e. white glowing space egg that gives us wireless internet) is not working. So I have no wireless! I am currently plugged into the wall. My freedom of movement is greatly restricted. My need for instant gratification is not being satisfied instantaneously! This bothers me. Furthermore, it bothers me that I'm bothered. Is this because I remember back in the day when I had DIAL-UP internet, and before that, I didn't have internet in my HOUSE, and before that, internet didn't even EXIST. I can remember life before the internet. I remember checking movie times in the newspaper. I remember writing letters that were sent via POST. I remember World Book Encyclopedias for information and now, NOW, not only am I sitting on the floor with my laptop plugged into the wall listening to some automated dude tell me "All our representatives are still busy" over and over, I'm ALSO beginning sentences with such phrases as "Back in the day."

Have I mentioned that I'm turning thirty?
