My name is Scalywag, and I'm addicted to Lit

I'm addicted to some form of online entertainment while at work, certainly.

I work online, and at home.

So here's one choice, blogging another choice, playing on World of Warcraft another choice, or some sorta game...or a combination of 'em all!
 
I have the same problem - most of my studying for school involves using the computer, and it's so easy to be looking up old lectures, or working on a paper, and flipping back and forth between it and lit.

Sometimes, when I need to get hardcore, no distractions, studying in, I have to go to the library, just so I can't go on lit, or watch TV, or whatever. I'm addicted to multi-tasking.

Addicted to multi-tasking (AMT)....I've never thought of it this way. Is this similar to ADD?

I actually find myself "bored," sometimes, if I only have one thing I'm doing.

I think AMT (I like the acronym!), is a problem that probably effects much of my generation. The question is, does it decrease the quality of the work we produce?

(Psychological masters thesis paper, anyone? :D )
 
Scaly, this is exactly what drew me to the Lit bulletin board. As a certifiable home-office type, I find that I enjoy poking my head into Lit when it's time for a break or some coffee. In fact, that's how I picture it: that stopping by Lit is analogous to poking my head into someone's office for a quick chat about anything but work.

Lit is dangerous, though, on those days when I am prone to be in high work-avoidance mode. :D
 
well... i'm stuck with dialup in this hee-haw hell i live in, so it's not SUPER easy to get to lit. however, when i do get online, if there's nothing pressing in my inbox lit is almost ALWAYS my first stop.

i seriously love you guys! :heart:

I recently found out that my cell phone makes an excellent modem (the subject of my woeful experience with tech support a week ago) and I regularly get speeds in excess of 400K. Such a solution might outdo a local dial-up connection for you, EJ.
 
Well, that too. It's just so cute and little! You just want to pet it and take care of it, and tuck it in for a nap.

thanks boss... i think someone made this suggestion in a thread where i'd mentioned my dialup conundrum a couple of months ago (or maybe it was longer than that). the cell phone reception sucks here too. lol. i'm tellin' ya... this place is seriously under-infrastructured. the only thing we have plenty of seems to be wasps these days.

I thought most of the WASPS lived up closer to New York and New England. :confused:

am that be what they called? :D

MWY: LMAO! i hadn't even thought of that when i wrote about my infestation. i have to admit... i have my WASPy moments. being raised in suburban NJ sort of lends itself to the behavior. of course, around here, if you're not wiling to leave your clothes on a line for 3 weeks (in the rain no less) or have a case of empty beer cans in the bed of your pickup you could be considered WASPy.

Hmmm...I wonder if Jeff Foxworthy is up for some competition:


If you wear only golf slacks when you go to a cocktail party, you just might be a WASP.

If your wife's name is Bunny and you call her Muffin, you just might be a WASP.

No doubt others will chime in with more.

Sweet! Although, I'm not really sure how you'd fuck something that size...
i don't intend to... it's physically impossible... i don't bend that way and it doesn't bend at all. :D

If you think mayonnaise is a food group, you might be a WASP.

this sounds like it could be a new thread MWY. go for it!
 
if you break with family tradition and give your son a name that doesn't end with a roman numeral, you just might be a WASP.
