A Lesson With A Choppy Line

Stude: You have daughter right?
Me: Yes.
Stude: How old is she?
Me: She'll turn two this 25th!
Stude: (wasn't able to hear) What will she turn into?
Me: :DD

Sigh For The Rain

It's June again... time for the torrential rains to start. I suppose, it already has started at the end of May. For online jobs, I believe rain means intermittent connection, slow connection, choppy calls, or no connection at all. I believe I can also say that it applies both to wired and wireless connections. 

I just had a share of mishaps in my schedule. Since we had bad weathers, I experience such and sometimes to a point where my lessons had to be replaced because of a bad connection. 

Internet connection is a very important tool when working online. It is the base of your bread and butter. No internet connection= no work= no pay. It is very different here in the Philippines. As would some people say, internet connection here is like a dial-up connection in first-world countries.  Unless, you would want to pay a hefty price for your sole internet connection. It's impractical for home users to pay such.

We're strongly considering now to change our provider. But we cannot just do that since I don't want to be absent even for a couple of days. Sigh.

If you think working online and home-based doesn't give you any stress, sometimes it can.

Disconnected

Today, I had a terrible internet connection. Because of that, the rest of my lessons from 1830-2030 have been replaced. I lost five lessons without sweat because of an intermittent connection.

This has happened before but my connection was able to come back immediately. All I can say right now is...disappointment.

But come to think of it... I can have the chance to stay and surf a bit on the net. I think I needed a little break and just enjoy surfing for a search time without any anxieties. And I can spend more time with my baby too!

I hope this kind of situation will not happen anymore. It'll be my end then with this job and I'm already loving this job.

I'm crossing my fingers on this one then.... Crossing fingers!
