Bored, and slightly pathetic, Internet Addict
Jan 7th, 2010 by heidi
Hello, my name is Heidi.
Yes, I have been compulsively refreshing my Gmail account for the last two days, because I’m bored – normally I enjoy my job but at the moment it’s pure data entry, which means that I’m going a little nuts and need a couple of minutes of *interesting* reading every little while to keep from drowning in a sea of applicant names and addresses. Never fear, for the nosy, I do get all my work done too. And more.
I keep thinking, “Hey, if only your posts were more interesting, you’d get more comments!”
Or, “Hey, why not start a flamewar on a parenting community in Livejournal” (not hard but really, I’m not a troll).
Or, “GET BACK TO WORK, WOMAN!” (what I mostly do)
What do YOU do when you’re needing mini-breaks to keep your sanity at work and your e-mail is just NOT coming through quickly enough?!
Addicted? Me? Never!
FACEBOOK!!!
Ugh. You sound like me. ONE PERSON responded on my post today, which specifically asked people to leave questions and comments for me. I feel unloved.
What do I do?
Um.
Keep hitting refresh.
Sigh.
i play bejeweled blitz on facebook. Quick one minute games give me just the right short break I need.
