jeffy

Two days ago I resolved that I would stop reading blogs and surfing the internet while at work.

The first day I did well. I switched my default browser back to the horrid IE and avoided my personal email and web surfing all day.

The second day I decided it would be okay to check my personal email once in a while. But I was running IE5 which gmail doesn't support so I spent an hour and a half with Windows Update downloading and installing IE6 and all the various and sundry security patches and stuff, then I read my email.

Today is the third day. I read my email. Then I thought it wouldn't hurt to check my daily crawl for any updates in my blog list. Then, after reading a couple of people's LJs I remembered that I'd been meaning to look and see what the policy was on new LJs these days only to discover that it's not by invitation only anymore. So now I have a Live Journal along with nearly 4 million other people.

Not sure that I need a LJ in addition to my blog, but I was thinking about starting to do some more chatty journal-like writing, and what better place?

So much for working.

Well it doesn't look like I'm ever going to get productive today (despite that last post's ironic mood).

Guess I'll go ride the bike home through the gathering dark. Missing summertime's sunlight til 9pm thing.
