S (44 days old) and D in Martha's VineyardD works at home most of the time, and I work at home all of the time. At home, our computers are on 24/7. We take our computers everywhere. We are both addicted to email and have been to the most obscure internet cafes in the world to get our fix. We realised our attachment to our computers was unnatural when we were camping in an oasis in the Sahara. We needed some light as we were in absolute darkness and needed to pee. It took us five minutes to agree on whose computer would be used to illuminate our way..battery power was precious. I lost out as D had a paper to finish...which he did... in the tent, in the middle of the Sahara (did I mention that he is a workaholic?).
S is getting quite jealous of our computers. She is fascinated by them, yet realises that they take our attention away from her. We may have to get her one of her own soon.
What I have have have to do every day is check my email and check my downloads. By this I mean I go to this site. With every new download, I feel like my existence has been affirmed. My work has been recognised, therefore I am.

sweetie, you have come a long way ... the IT girl in college (that's how i saw you!), a venture capitalist who hangs out at bankers club KL, the mom, the academic - quite a resume you got there!
I am not a workaholic and has no professional recognition whatsoever. But still addicted to my laptop. For now other reason but ... well, pure addiction.
Ha ha. A tilburg girl;-) Must admit, I knew that already;-P
