frustrating fruit

Ranting about the Internet, like the half-hour I just spent tearing my hair out trying to access this blog, can be tedious. Usually I don't succumb to the temptation. However, since I also missed 4 important deadlines today I feel entitled to a tiny rant.

I'm more bothered about the unrealistic expectations we all have in this high-speed wi-fi Blackberry era. I'm no Luddite, but I think most people should be amputated at the Blackberry. If management or colleagues couldn't flip me a memo in the expectation of an instantaneous reply, that is, if I had fewer specious interruptions, I might just be able to make some of those admittedly unrealistic deadlines!

Fortunately for me, I have a 3-day weekend coming up in which to forget all of that nonsense. If I try to do too much, it will all be on my own head. And that's just fine. However, I guarantee that I won't be serving blackberries for breakfast, lunch OR dinner.
