You work from home!?

Rainy season has come! it's been raining a lot here. Hope it won't flood. Never heard thunder like this for so long! Weather sucks..!

Few days ago. A guy from TRUE internet came to check my cable. I was told that my telephone cable outside the house is bad and I need to replace it. Then he came to check routher in my room and found it was OK.
----------------------------------------------------
"Don't you go to work today?" He asked me later
"I work from home"
"You work from home!?"
"er..yeah why?"
"I've heard many times! about people those they work from home. But I never thought that I would actually see one of them!" Now he really looked excited. Wow, a human who works from home! really exists!

"What do you do? Are you selling Amway?"
"Amway? hell no"
"So what do you do?"
"Actually I make porn websites"
"............" (he went silent for few seconds) "Really?"
"Noooo...o.o. I was kidding"
"he..he..Did you go to college?"
"yeah I did"
"I did not" he replied while checking my modem speed
"Why not?"

"I had to work since I graduated from technical school, I've been working since then. It's been 5 years now. Compare my salary to my friends who went to college. My salary is higher now. So I don't know why I should bother going back to college"

"hmm..yeah sure, but if you have time I think you should try to attend some evening programs. Isn't hard to get promoted if you don't have a degree?"

"yeah, if you wanna be promoted as manager or something..I need a degree"
"see?"

"I'll think about it!" he smiled "By the way! you look like my friend!"
"oh really? is she cute? haha"

"yeah yeah she is, i was shocked when I saw you coz you look soooo much like her. I thought..shit! don't tell me that i'm going to fix my friend's telephone line today!"
"Why? you owe her money?" :-P
"nahhh.."

I tried to tell him that he can sit on the computer chair. But he said "I like sitting on the floor"
----------------------------------------------------
"Your computer looks weird!" he was standing in front of my PC starring at monitor
"How weird?"
"I dunno! what browser is this?"
"It's Firefox"
"oh..never seen it before"
"You can use IE if you want just click there"
"ohh ok ok" and then he kept telling me his stories..where he lives..how's work and so on. Kinda entertaining actually :-) now I know his name is Singhanarth (nothing to do with beer though)

Anyway, when he left. My internet connection..still sucks! I was told to wait for a while they're working on new High-speed Internet via Satellite project.

"OK, how long am I supposed to wait for this?"
"hm I dunno, it's still in the lab"
"OK, thanks a lot, boy"
He left me his contact number, told me to call him anytime if I need my telephone line fixed.
"Can you get me a Satellite internet?" I can't help teasing him
"I wish I was God"


yeah, me too :-)
