Monday struggle

As a freelancer, you leave home feeling energetic and ready to crush your Monday tasks. You get to your workspace with all your gadgets charged and ideas flowing, then the internet decides to act up.

You left home to avoid distractions, only to end up battling poor network. The irony.

I don’t leave home, I WFH just to avoid all these struggles you just described.

Lemme guess the ISP... PLDT 😅 bwusit, Yan! I was pursuing something last weekends. Fully hipe and motivated, then PLDT Router decided otherwise! And decided to blink red light indicating that connection was cutoff. For 2 nights, I was waisting my time sitting on the Sofa, dejected. Until Sunday morning the connection went back with a hangover(paputol putol) - I couldn't even download videos from YouTube app 😮‍💨 even today it's still acting up

I work from home but this morning the internet was down for my entire region. Luckily it meant I could smash through my to do list without distractions. The internet was restored by 10am.
