They fixed me up with unfettered 'net access at work today. This will require discipline (notice it _is_ lunchtime)… ---

Wow, I can’t believe someone actually got that, good for you triangle. It would have been better if I had some empty baby food jars to click together. ---

Whew! Day one and I mightiliy resisted the blatant attempts to chip on my work ethic (although I peeked - uh, while I was waiting on a plot - in about 3:30 and realized the brigade was tempting me). My first thought is, I need to stay off the web at work or I am going to become seriously dissatisfied with my home connection. ---
