i spend a lot of my time online. i used to laugh when i'd fill out those surveys that asked how long you spent online. 40+ ... i'd chuff... and think... what in the?
now i gladly tick them and think... you're chuffing aren't you little person that enters the data? ... especially when i don't put down IT as my field of work.
but i do... i spend ages on it. floating, reading, researching, writing emails. this week especially - the array of emails i've received have been absurd.

some examples: (lawrence, member at golf club)

Hola
So there I was happy, not grumpy, and you have to change all that. Do you know what it is like being left out, not classified, being ignored even. Besides that you have also pointed out I am no longer with it, just not up to speed, no longer cool!!!!
The books are $39 and I will drop them off on Saturday.
I think it is now time me to reflect and decide how one proceeds in life facing these dilemmas. You think you have problems? Phew, lucky you are not in my shoes.

WEIRDEST. THING. EVER. Just got a message from Kris from the Basics on our Pirate myspace page. In French ???

chiEt que le pirate collectif veulent-ils de nous ? Un peu de rock'n'roll peut-être ?
Sentez la bienvenue à bord, et appréciez votre sejour.

...and the saddest part, if words are to be taken as the be all of my existence - my travel agent loves me more than anyone.
