Now I know what a heroin addict feels like

The email server is down at work. For designers, not such a big deal. For the PR guy – it’s like getting your methadone cut off in the middle of detox. As much as I try to ignore the fact that my emails are piling up on the server and there’s nothing I can do about it, I keep being reminded of how dependent on that little beeping device in my pocket and on the soothing blinky notifications in Outlook.

You don’t realize how dependent you are on a tool until you can’t use it. For now, I’ll just bide my time until the server coughs up the 500 new emails into my Blackberry sometime this evening.

    500 versus 3-4 to what i get everyday. perhaps you could at least to do is appreciate with all money you got, and Public Relations is high profilic job, i dont see what is the fuss all about. my job is pathetic! being a sales associate is bad as explaining it. i am tired of being poor. really tired. and to be honest, being heroin addict has nothing to do with this. i am sorry my grammar is not the best anymore, lacking of education or any significant form of human intelligence in my life is draining me down all things are beyond me. i suck, you are the best, suck it up and i cant even suck it up because i really do suck.
