Epic Fail Justification (attempt) for Thursday 3/12/09
Goal 1:
- Do not open the internet (except for work purposes) especially the time suckers Twitter and Facebook.
- Do not reply to any messages I get that aren’t work related.
- Do not cheat by obsessively checking my phone and killing its battery the way I did the other day when I tried to turn off twitter & FB.
Goal 2:
Get a lot of shit done today!!! (namely stuff that requires me to not be sitting at my computer)
The Result:
- Fail on 1.
- We’ll still see on 2.
Why did I fail? Well, I woke up late. As usual. Because I went to sleep at 4:30am. So no one could expect me to get up before 11am, right? (those of you who kept me up that late, you know who you are!)
Also, after lunch with the Suvudu peeps at Random House (@suvudu), which was really fun, I started writing down a list of things in my notebook that I wanted to post on twitter as a sort of “twitter roundup” tonight. WTF?? If I’m taking the time to write shit down, I might as well post it. Seriously, I passed up a picture of a Mullet because I couldn’t post it. (But I did get a sweet one of the biggest man-purse I’ve ever seen. And boy did he work it!)
ANOTHER REASON
is that both Jared and Josh wrote to me in different mediums to entice me back online. Seriously, Josh actually texted me “Hey Susie … Just wanted to let you know there is some CRAZY stuff happening on the internet right now.” A. I love that you still call me Susie. B. NOT FAIR. But still hilarious. I had actually been monitoring the internet all day “because I had a lot of work-related emails to send” - so I knew you were full of shit. But yeah, I cheated.
So what the hell.
If my inner monologue is still on Twitter mode, then why fight it? I can wean myself off of twitter - by not obsessively responding to every little response. But I don’t really need to quit cold turkey. … right? Ugh. See what I mean? HARDER THAN QUITTING CAFFEINE. Yes, Jared, I’m addicted. But I’m not hurting anyone!
Let the posting begin … !
