The major downside to a virtual internship

Doing a "virtual internship" has its benefits:

• I save gas money, as I dont go further than my home office.
• I save food money, as I have no need to buy lunch out.
• If I feel like being in my sweats, I can be - my avatar is always dressed appropriately.
• No matter what time of day, there is usually someone in SL that I can interact with - thus I can accomplish lots at midnight local time.

However, days like today point out that we arent there yet - technology wise.

The grid has been down all day. Two events missed, valuable filming time lost, all waiting for the grid to come up. And, I cannot reschedule to tomorrow, because I do need at least one day off per week.

Ah well, perhaps time to catch up on the blog that I have been so behind in posting to.
