#between this and us very firmly climbing into bed with russia i'm in crisis mode

[witchstone]

okay i've Calmed Down and my dad and I sat down to sketch out what to do if this happens 

#he reckons someone got the wrong end of the stick and misreported it and god i'm really hoping so #step one is wrangle a fibre connection no matter the method #cannot fucking believe they rolled out fibre in our area save for our road #our neighbours across the road have but not us #adsl doesn't work anymore and so we have to use lte and...guess what! cell towers go down when the power goes out #if i can wrangle fibre i can make it work #we'll have to get a battery inverter and i'll have to replace my laptop battery #idk also look at pricing generators #we'll need to sit down and greatly restructure our food buying and cooking habits since things will be going off left right and centre #i'm going to phone the norwegian embassy tomorrow and see what my options are worst case scenario #between this and us very firmly climbing into bed with russia i'm in crisis mode #also start working on a second job that doesn't involve needing electricity or internet (lol. ell oh ell. lmao even. fuck) #i feel so weird even bitching about this because the rest of the country has been living like this for the last year! #(i mean we've been having power cuts since 2007 but last year is when it became Oh Dear Fucking God We Are The Next Zimbabwe)
