How can I reclaim all the minutes I’ve lost sitting at a computer – waiting?  Whether it’s at work or at home – patiently waiting.  Waiting endlessly for something to happen.  Waiting for the damn thing to just start up in the first place.  Waiting for the web page I’ve requested to load.  Waiting for the application I’ve requested to open.  Waiting for the report I’ve requested to run.  Waiting, waiting, waiting . . . and sitting.  On my now permanently flat ass.  That’s how I seem to spend most of my life.  It’s so frustrating.  It’s making me crazy.  I don’t know how much longer I can take it.  How much longer I can go on.

So I think I’ll go back to pen and paper.  To snail mail.  To reading books instead of blogs and web pages.  I’ll move to an Amish community where they don’t even know what a computer is, let alone how slow it can be.  Where I’ll work the land.  And I won’t have to worry about my grossly inadequate Fall wardrobe because they’ll give me those simple Amish dresses.  And I won’t have to worry about my hair anymore because we’ll all just have the same braids and bonnets.  It will be a wonderful life and I’ll have lots of extra time.

Anyone with me?
