In the past three work days, I have accomplished less than 30 minutes’ worth of work on a web site I need to design. Part of the problem has been the new Deus Ultionis message board, and LiveJournal, but the most significant contributor is AIM. Despite my declaration that no talk regarding the gestalt game reach me over IM at work, at least three people have since discussed it with me at some length. I unfortunately do not have the willpower to rebuff these discourses—I enjoy talking with all of you too much.
As a result, I am cutting myself off from IMing at work starting now, indefinitely. I will try to be online more in the evenings and weekends when I am home, but I am pretty busy so no promises.
