I'd like to make a more detailed post but it's 5pm on a Friday and as I write I'm already being told I'm on the PC too much. But it's the weekend and I'll be looking to squeeze in some game playing/recreation time on the PC at some stage.

According to my last Eye Test (for my provisional .. yes I'm one of those people) I've perfect vision.

At the moment I'd spend a ridiculous amount of time in front of the computer but thats the name of the game. if you consider 8 hours a day most days ... and then some you're already talking 56 hours .. Add onto that the actual time I'm in front of the computer .. and EEK

;-)
I am one of the under-control group - but beeing female in the IT world, I am used to being part of a minority

I am in the internet business for 10 years, counting my new media experience it is more then a decade, for 5 years I am self-employed. If one does not want to end in a burn-out it is extremely important to balance out working-load. But as I grew up in family of self-employds and farmers - I tend to get work done when it is needed, and 40hours a week is not always realistic. But, I also have the freedom to take an after noon (or day, or two) off and devote my time to my family. It is all about organization (and first of all of course priorization).

yeah .. part of my new years resolution was to make more personal time ... its got to be driving Valerie-Anne up the wall for the last year how much time I'm spending online. Still we do get away every so often ... and clients seem ok when you tell them you'll be gone for a week ... though with more and more work coming in that may change) coming back can be crazy though with the build up of issues.

I am not a computer addict. I use my computer for my work, listening musics and playing games. I spend only 5 hours in a day in computer.

I've found since they released the Nokia net phones and the iPhone, I can even be online during meetings, while driving (erm, I mean being driven), funerals of distant relatives I've never met, while playing sports, watching tv, cooking, eating...I can even distract myself from being online on my phone by occassionally turning on my laptop....
