I was happily sitting on the couch with Agent and my two puppies, wondering at how absolutely lucky I am and at the same time, feeling the itch to get busy doing something useful. Useful, of course, being to jump on a computer and create something simple and amazing that will make my life or my work easier or provide a resource to someone else. This is exactly why I had to give up the computer at home, because I am addicted. I have to find satisfaction at work, even if it means coming up with my own projects and challenges, lowering my expectations, and creating situations that will give me all those "I'm a helpful genius!" warm and fuzzy feelings that is so much of the reason that I bother in the first place.
