Slave to the Machine

However did people manage to waste time at work in the pre-webbedworld days? Was part of a lengthy conversation last night on the various methods for hiding internet pages on one's workscreen. The ideal configuration, laptop extensions, whether to open a window on the edge of the screen, or right in the centre, thus allowing one to shift to block it from anyone behind. Me, I go for the two screen approach, open a work program across one and a half screens, and let the other window, this window, hide in the corner. Then you can even pretend to work on the opposite screen. Not that I would really do that. I didn't participate in this conversation. It was them. I've been focused on work all day. I mean look, it's lunch time already. Where does the time go? Think I'll go for a wander outside... Funny. Now that I'm allowed to be on the internet, it's suddenly lost its charm.

Time to be not here.
