Yesterday I almost lost my job because of my telephone socket. My problems started very early in the morning. I got a call from my boss who asked me to go online immediately because he said that there are major changes in one of our projects. I work as an online graphics designer and to date, I am working on five new campaign ads. All of them were due yesterday and I had 10 other projects that needed some tweaking. So I jumped out of bed at six am (yes, my boss calls me this early) , grab a coffee, grab some bread, and went straight to my home office which is just adjacent to my bedroom.
First thing I do is grab my documents, all four boxes of them and arrange them neatly side by side so that it would be easier for me to work. I sorted them out by priority and made some notes on some of my sketches and rough drafts. Satisfied that everything was ready, I turned on my desktop and waited for my desktop to boot up. Once it was all powered up, I waited for my internet to kick in so I can start working. However, after about five minutes, I knew I was in trouble, I had no internet connection!
I scrambled to check what the problem was and the first thing that I did was to check all the wires and cables. I checked the electrical sockets, wall socket and every other socket and connection in the room. I was already panicking at this point because my boss was calling me nonstop. He was already very mad. Finally I decided to check on my telephone socket again and I noticed that there was some kind of dust in the socket. I brushed it away and connected the cables again. Thank goodness my internet connection finally worked!
