When e-mail goes bad
So I'm sitting here trying to figure out my Sunday column.
I have most of the reporting done. I know my angle and I have it started. But my e-mail is out. Has been for about 2 hours. You'd think that would free me up to write like crazy without distraction. I can't. I'm bereft without it! I've never been one of those e-mail haters. But I never thought I was so hooked on it! It's like my Oxycontin or something. I need a 12-step program to get over my e-mail. How pathetic is that? 6 comments from 6 users

What did we ever do before this contraption came along with it's E-Mail and other bells and whistles. Dependency is an awful thing to behold.

I carried a big old pager, which displayed only numbers, and a pocket full of dimes, so I could return the page.

Didn't we just run a wire story recently about turning off your email at work for short periods in order to increase face-to-face communication? (Hmmm, maybe that wasn't an outage after all...) ;)
