Up in smoke
Señor Tails says that something exploded and that's why we don't have Internet. This was after I said "What happened - did something explode?" He seemed to think this was a good explanation and said that whatever it was that exploded is out being fixed and he doesn't know when it will be back. How can you not know? Do they not even give you an estimated time when they can have it fixed?
Renata, Jennifer and I decided yesterday that many of the computer-related slowness in France comes from people being allowed to smoke in public workplaces. Unless you have some powerful lip muscles, you are doing everything one-handed, including typing. This explains why I am seen as some kind of expert around here, with my 11 words a minute or whatever it is.
And even if you can hold the cigarette between your lips, you may also be dropping hot ash and sparks into important computer parts and melting them as you go along.
I can only assume that they've already fixed the exploded part but managed to set it on fire as soon as they'd finished. Ah, la France.
