Around 2:00 PM today, the network service on my phone went off. So bad that I no longer have another network service on my phone. I used to have multiple networks, but the other ones are no longer working. My phone was rendered useless at that moment because it was the internet connection I needed to complete my tasks for the day.
I am currently running a writing streak with a friend, where at the end of the day, whoever fails to meet up pays a fine to the person who does.
At that moment, I decided to dump my phone and attend to other work, hoping that by the time I was done, the network might have been restored. I worked for about two hours, and upon returning to my phone, the network was still not restored. That was when I realized I had to improvise; otherwise, I might end up paying the fine.
The worst part was that I had not even received the prompt to write on. If I had, I could have used the downtime to draft everything and post it once the network was restored.
After much thought, I decided to come up with a rant instead of waiting to get the network to log in and check for prompts in the various communities.
At the time of drafting this, the network was still dead. I was just writing, hoping to find a way to post it before the end of the day—either by begging someone to connect me to WiFi or by strolling down to a lounge near my house to use their Starlink network.
Even before I decided to write this rant, I tried watching a movie on my phone, but it just did not work. My mind was too focused on the task ahead, and I was not ready to be the first loser since my friend and I started this streak journey—or competition, as you may call it.
Let me stop here and go find a way to publish this.
Okay, network was restored around 7:00pm
Thanks for reading.
