Okay, I got up yesterday morning because the phone rang. My client’s internet connection was down and found out that it was the provider, not my equipment. I was happier than a fly on horse poopies.
Then, all hell breaks loose in here, I know this is the part that sounds stupid, but I stayed home to be of assistance if I could. I am no one in here, and most could give a rats behind if I was here or not. I was so concerned I hung out in front of this stupid computer screen all day and now into the night.
Then, I get involved with discussions of the First Amendment and Second Amendment only to rummage through my favorite places to make points near and dear to my heart. Carefully weeding through the comments of Thomas Jefferson that would help make my point.
Occasionally I would pop over on AOL to check emails, check my regular email account etc.
OK, I plan on at least a day without internet anything. No email, no chat no message boards…guess I will set this for Friday. If anyone sees me post on Friday please pummel me with your best words.
Yes, I am an an internetaholic. Been that way for a long time now. But I do have my nights where the internet is the last place to be, guess I am not totally hopeless.
My leg is hurting, my brain is fried yet I am not tired! Maybe I should go read my book?
I go on Internet binges. I’ll go weeks without logging on, then for a few weeks, I’ll be constantly glued to the screen, then no net for weeks again.
I think it’s because I’m basically afraid of people, I don’t trust them, and on the 'net, you’re basically anonymous, and if someone you don’t want to talk to tries to bug you, you can just click on “ignore”, not respond to their posts, whatever. You can’t really do that in IRL. It’s rude.
The trouble with Sir Launcelot is by the time he comes riding up, you’ve already married King Arthur.
I do have to turn the damn thing off for hours at work. Even then, I’m in Word or someplace and a stupid “new e mail” box pops up. Luckily I don’t get many jokes. I remember the days when I had no internet, just e mail. I thought I was spending a lot of time with non work e mail. That was nothing!
