Adieu, sweet, but flawed notion.
After having working this position since mid-August, and spending nearly every desk shift cruising the internet, answering email, or updating this site (Yes, I'm sitting at the desk right now) I've decided I can fool myself no more.
Sure, I'll bring the books for the occassions where the internet is down (as it semi-frequently is at Hatch [though I'll note it barely ever happened last year when Tech Support was housed next door. Since they moved cross town, we seem to loose the internet about once a week]). Nevertheless, as long as the internet flows freely into the desk terminal that sits before me, the probability I'll find find something else to do is not in doubt.
On weekend shifts, where I spend more time behind a desk than I'd care to think about some days (excepting pay day, of course), there is an exception, but that only happens every three weeks.
I know that once I post this entry, and have a brief, cursory glance to see if it updated correctly, I'll move on to see what news I've missed in the last few minutes I've been "disconnected."
It's a disease, I know. I'm working on it. I'm making a conscious effort to change habits.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to see if RushLimbaugh.com has been updated today!
Good-bye sweet delusion. I'll treasure you always...
