A tragedy of less than epic proportions: no interweb.

[trochee]

They've taken away my Internets. Yes, I can still see LJ through the dumb web-proxy, but my supply-closet access to the internet was discovered by some zealously paranoid network person and removed. Now I can't check email except at the hotel. Great.

*shakes fists in minor impotent whinging at the sky*

I think I'll probably be able to get it fixed -- I can't transfer anything from my lab computers to this office without it -- but the people whom I should ask are all out of the office all day. Ah well.

Eek, sorry.

But what is "whinging"?

Gah. System administrators. They are good at taking things away from you . But how about giving you access ?
Isn't that their job too ?!
Where is Daniel when you need him ? !

Yuck. It sounds like they're not very organized down there. Good luck getting someone to sort this out tomorrow. You've been there almost 2 weeks now, haven't you? Sheesh - this sounds a bit like my experiences in the lab I interned at in France - getting computer stuff set up there was pretty hopeless, too. One would think they'd like you to be able to get work done, though, and realize that computers/network are helpful.
