I'm definitely not in the good mood today since I have to finish a project online and because of the strong storm in my country,my internet provider did have problems and they are not connected for almost 7 hours and It actually wasted me 10 dollars!I should earn this today and not I need to do overtime to work for it.Well I'm not from U.S so if you convert 10 dollars to my currency,its actually the middle salary a day of a regular office worker or call center agent somewhere 400 Pesos so it's big for me.I hope my connection will continues to get better so I can roll in!

I hope your connection comes back very soon. We have storms where I am as well, and last night in an auditorium the lights went out a few times. The rain is drowning my garden; my flowers are dying. So far, the vegetables are doing ok, but if they keep getting soaked they will die as well.
At least I have not lost an income from the storms like you have. I do hope things get better very soon.

I'm near the Great Lakes in the United States. Some parts of the country are in drought, and many of us are getting saturated. Some areas of the country are experiencing floods. This weather will affect our fresh food availability and the cost.

hi insulin ohmy I would also be in a lousy mood if I had been in
your place.I have been so fortunate that my cable internet has
run so smoothly without any problem say the one day the electricity
here in Garden Grove was off over part of the city for 16 hours.
I was behind on mylot but I finally did get caught up so was not out any money.I hope you can get your internet connections back up and running and make up that money again.Perhaps you will have some good luck and make more than you lost. when I was on dsl we had a few problems too.

I hope I can still get it since I earn it before June 30 and I hope everything will run smooth.I think some part of the world is really experiencing bad connections just like my man in germany,his having trouble as well in his internet connection and source of energy as the government shut down some nuclear plants including in his city so I think they are having a hard time changing all the things around.

I am sorry to hear you had internet loss which caused you to loose earnings. Coincidentally today I came home to find that my internet was down in my entire area as well. Though our issue was recovered 5 hours later and I did not loose much today.
I do remember in February though, that my area was affected so badly that I lost several assignments and a couple contracts therefore to date have not recovered from the losses.
I do hope you internet continues to run smooth and you can regain your losses today.

Good thing you did not loose anything today and yes losing several assignments and contracts is really difficult especially when you did not recovered it.So far my internet is working good already and I hope there is not strong storm now as I have a lot of project on going.

You must be from the Philippines? I ask because a friend of mine is Filipino and she mentioned that she sends money home. She said it is worth many times more than our money when it is converted to pesos. I hope that everything works out for you.

Yes I am from the Philippine and the convertion of the Dollar and european money is really helping eventhough its just 5 dollars or 10 or something,it already helps to buy food and pay all important things rather than working 8 hours for 3 dollars here is just a waste of time thats why I choose working online.

It surprised me when you said you can earn 10 dollars in 7 hours by using Internet. I think maybe you can share some of your experience at here in which how you can earn 10 dollars in 7 hours. I bet most of the people also want to know the way, isn't it?
Hopefully, there is no more problem for your internet connection.

Sorry to hear that. Are you able to get the telco to compensate for the loss in connection?
The other thing you could consider is to look for a back up connection (with a friend for example) when this happens again.
I can understand, a dollar lost can be painful, let alone ten dollars.
Take care.

Hi insulin,
This sucks really i know you totally depends on internet for your earnings & 7 hrs in a day if net is not working means it took a lot from you.
These storms are really dangerous for net cables most of the time net get dysfunction in storms.
$10 is good amount for you hope it got rectified & pray GOD not to have such problems for you in future.

It will me furious too. Hours without the internet! Most of us really can't live without the new technologies because it is for work.
Add to making me furious is having no electricity which makes no cable and no AC too.. I hope this rain will stop now. It's causing flood to soem arteas now and it is hard to travel or move around.

Humm I know its very bugging when such things happen. My country supports rupee and the conversions rate of rupee and dollar is 45, its just a month's pocket money, but for me its lot more to earn money. In my country there are no regular storm problems but my internet service provider is very bad in internet connections, sometime the internet gets disconnected for 2 days say even a week this bugs me a lot, since in that days i could have earn lot of money online. So what i do is i have removed an alternate solution whenever my PC internet is shutdown. I use my mobile to use mylot its probably slower in typing but i fairly manage to earn a few cents during the lock period.

I am sure you are doing well in online earning.
It is really regret to hear all of this from you.
For sure, we can not blame anyone because of this natural disaster.
For me, I should allow some unforeseen circumstances in my daily planing or expectation.
I dare not expect to hit certain figure in my online earning because I do expect some interruption as traveling outstation, internet disconnection, power failure and so on.
In my philosophy, I just try whatever I can in my earnest effort and never blame myself or anyone if I fail.
