Relief! I have the Internet back. If you noticed a gap in my postings, it's because I travelled to India and had all manner of trouble with my wireless VPN software preventing me from accessing the network at the hotel I'm staying with.
I phoned the help desk in America that connected to an office in the very city I'm in. How's that for irony. Anyway, the help desk was maybe a little too hopefully named, because they really didn't provide any help whatsoever. I phoned my coworkers who connected me with a contact in the US who tried to help but couldn't perform the fix because she needed to send me files, and for that, I would need Internet access. More irony.
Finally, today I took my computer to the Pearson office in Delhi even though I wasn't supposed to go in to work until next Monday. A skinny, Hindi-speaking IT manager performed some kind of miracle and now I have Internet access.
I have much catching up to do, so the next few entries will chronicle my first two or so days in India.
About Me

- Normally, I work in the Assessment and Information group of Pearson Education, North America as an instructional designer on the Learning and Organizational Performance team. We provide online, print and classroom instruction for the various groups within Assessment & Information from our office in Coralville, Iowa. My writing and teaching background (along with a great stroke of good fortune) has afforded me the opportunity to work in India for three months as a textbook editor/developer. Read this blog to find out more about my international adventure and the program at Pearson (New Directions) that is sponsoring this opportunity.
