September 19, 2001-9:41 p.m. Today in Sa-land: Internet Deprivation! E-gads! I guess this is what it took to convince myself that I am utterly and shamelessly addicted to the internet. The internet service at work was down all day today due to the README.EXE virus. I have sense enough to keep my Windows Updates up to date and you know, I expect the same of my employer, but I digress. I spent my breaks in vain obsessively attempting to connect to the internet. I tried surreptitiously at other times during the day. I was helplessly compelled to repeatedly attempt connection. I was pathetic! �My name is Sa (no last initials, please) and I am an internet addict!� My friends and family are probably beside themselves with relief at hearing me say this as there was undoubtedly an intervention in the works! Surprisingly enough, I didn�t really miss all that much. Lord knows, I could have gone a lifetime without reading another entry about Ms. M�s bladder. Okay so I need to work on the internet obsession but you would have been so proud if you could have seen or rather heard my amazing and dazzling display of self-control and restraint at work yesterday. The prot�g� and the trucker�s daughter were having a rather loud, animated and calculatingly annoying conversation about how neither of them hold grudges any longer. It�s a foolish waste of time and just eats you up with hate. Their implication seemed to be that perhaps I, princess of all that is sweet and good in life, am a holder of grudges, while they are not. Here�s where the restraint part comes into play: And then Sa said, �~silence~� Nothing makes my day or puts the pep in my step like dashing the hopes of complete and total idiots. **Disclaimer: All characters in this diary are fictional.
