Internet Addiction:
I have had people who are so disturbed when their families have taken their Internet away that they have been totally unable to function.
How much is too much? Does it affect your family relationships? Are you losing sleep? Are you unable to manage your time? Why are you doing this in the first place?
This is like everyone I know, myself included. Ok, everyone… Back away from your computer. Put down the mouse and get some help.
Haha. Yeah, right. I’m still blogging. At least I’m not in denial though, right?

Woo! I finished a report yesterday and had to sit on it the rest of the day because all the managers were in a training thing. This report got assigned to the wrong group and is probably going to end up getting turned in about a month late. This is ok because it nowhere approaches being my fault. ;)
In any case, I gave an estimate of just over a week to get it done. This, of course, was an outright lie. I had to run some of these analyses for a different project and it took me an afternoon, including my learning curve in there. Including writing/updating the report, getting it through the QA process, etc., a little buffer time in case anything looks funny and needs correcting, an extra day in case the managers are busy, and it should be like 4 days.
So… I finished ahead of schedule! Granted, it’s for the delayed, “whoops we forgot about this” schedule. But I’m very pleased with my trickeries. I’m sure I’m the first to think of this too.
