Her: "I don't have the Internet." Me: "Oh, OK" Her: "My job doesn't allow me to use the Internet." Me (confused) I can understand "I don't have a computer" or "I don't have a Myspace" or even "What's a Myspace", but I'm not sure how to interpret the idea that someone's job means they cannot use the Internet. Perhaps a secret agent of some sort? Unless it's some sort of "I can't afford that" thing, but it didn't sound that way...

Her: “I don’t have the Internet.”
Me: “Oh, OK”
Her: “My job doesn’t allow me to use the Internet.”

I can understand “I don’t have a computer” or “I don’t have a Myspace” or even “What’s a Myspace”, but I’m not sure how to interpret the idea that someone’s job means they cannot use the Internet. Perhaps a secret agent of some sort?

Unless it’s some sort of “I can’t afford that” thing, but it didn’t sound that way…
