Man I just can't stop surfing DU
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 10:31 AM by are_we_united_yet
It is one of the most intense addictions I've ever had. Can anyone relate? (Of course you can, dumb question but humor me)

1. Yes! Up at 7 a.m. and I know I should be working, but it's 11:30 now and
so far not one lick of work, just....surfing away!

I prolly should go cold turkey.

4. I can definitely relate!
I'm addicted too, particularly after I get a strong blast of pro-right bias from the news media.

5. Yeah, I'm hooked
I've been here all weekend for no real reason... must be because I don't have a life.

12. The only thing that stops me
someone with more authority than me needs the computer, power outages and disk/cpu failures.

11. I fear for my productivity. I really do.
And to boot, this is an "island" workday (Independence Day tomorrow) and therefore slow. And I have a cold. What chance do I have?
