Distraction Central

I have always been a bit of a technology geek- that stuff always came naturally to me, give me a new computer or phone and I will figure out how to work it and find shortcuts to make it easier to navigate. I am also a master at the Help feature on computers and programs and whatever else has the option. Something many people who ask me for help seem to forget exists. 

So now that Facebook has exploded and I have a blog and a new blackberry... (3rd one-long story that perhaps I will blog about later). Case and point- in the middle of writing this blog, my phone beeped at me that i got an email, so I went to check it. Knowing that it was just one of the many email newsletters I subscribe to, I still had to check-it could be a 911 email or text from my friends or family letting me know they are stranded and only I can help them! (Did you notice I never finished the sentence that started this paragraph? Does that bug you?) Another reason I cannot turn off my phone- the WHAT IF is too big a risk. Without having a phone for the last 2 days was one of the most frustrating things in the world, and I could not concentrate at work because I did not have a phone to distract me. Does anyone else think this is ass backwards? Facebook has completely taken over my life, I must check people's pictures at least 2 times a day, they don't change- I am not sure why I need to keep checking. My theory is that my friends will put pictures up of what they are doing so I can feel like I am back home in Mass, but in reality, they only put up pictures of big events. Hey Guys! Can you put up pictures of what your doing at all times so I know what is going on? Thanks! 

Also- every time I am completely overwhelmed with work and know I have a TON of stuff to do-I go online and check my email. Not sure why- do I really think that delaying the inevitable will make it go away? It is only delaying getting work done which then makes me have to work on the weekend- so dumb! Speaking of....I have a lot of work to do.
