the e-mail d t blues

Heading into the third week without a computer at home, I'm surprised at how disoriented I feel.

I'm even more surprised at how difficult it is to get competent help with computers - and with anything else. Like building maintenance, or copies of forms from the IRS. Everything people touch is screwed up.

I can't do anything about the ineptitude and apathy of my fellow man. I can only try to stop myself from letting it bug me.

I can also try to be less attached to the computer - and to everything else. I already feel like I'm getting to the late stages of the withdrawal process. But I'm sure that, when the day comes that I am again on-line at home, I'll get sucked back in.
