Reading material

Who discovered the line, "Once upon a time". I think it was shakespeare. Simply brilliant. I like my new work space. Laced with interesting cuplets of work, i have developed a few browsing habits. Did you know that internet addiction is on a rise? Point5 mentioned it on a passing note sometime. At my last home, there was no internet (no A/C, etc...). I was okie with it for a lil while but eventually i missed it a lot.

Once i reach the office, i start out with slashdot, eetimes and my email. Reading your email for a limited number of times (4-5) in a day enhances your productivity. I consciously shed the habit of compulsive email checking. After paying the regular visit to the blog links to see for any updates, i return to work. As the day progresses, i eventually wear out and open the unread text. I realize that it doesn't matter what i read, or how intellectually stimulating or entertaining any of the blogs. I have just grown accustomed to reading them. In fact, i am a lil tired of reading stimulating material. I just want some stuff thats totally worthless. Whatever it is. Give it to me. And, in return, i am giving you this post. Wake up all you stupid, lazy bloggers. Write anything
