Cue theme music
I understand the communication junkies. The folks that always have a cell phone/laptop/pda glued to their hand and/or ear. The texting during any time that qualifies as "downtime." The obsessive need to find out what's going on.
Most times of year I am not a slave to technology. I have candles on top of my piano so that I can play when the power goes out. I like to read, and exist nicely sans tv. I do have a weak spot for the iPod, but if I forget to charge it I just sing. Loudly. All around the house. I answer the phone and email when it's convenient for me, rather than when it rings or dings. I read the newspaper - in print - and do the crossword in pen.
But by mid-summer I transform into Gotta-Know Girl, the newest Marvel superhero! My primary powers?
Counting down the days until this superhero retires...can't wait to take off this spandex!

- Eavesdropping on conversations in adjacent offices and cubicles
- Texting at hyperspeed until my thumbs bleed data
- Accessing email, contracts and spreadsheets at lightning speeds through the direct download port I had installed in my brain.
