For some unknown reason, my work computer died on me last Friday. This morning e IT department told me that it'll only be ready by end of this week.
My umbilical cord, the invisible chain broke.
I was free. Or was I?
I wandered around like a lost zombie, deprived of purpose and contact in the virtual world.
Feeding only on sustenance provided by my treo, I'd survived a torturous morning until a replacement laptop was given to me at 5pm.
By then i'd been a near wreck. Gratefully I logged in, checked my mails before logging off to go home.
For better or for worse, I wonder how many people will actually enjoy being unplugged from work and the internet once plugged in?
