Belated Realization
I work as an indexer. Today, after an hour or two of uninterrupted work on a chapter about solid waste management, I got to the end of a page and hit the PageDown button. Nothing happened, which was annoying, since I was in the middle of a very indexable sentence about dumpsters. I hit the button again, harder, and only then realized that I would have to turn the page over by hand: I was reading the hard copy. I’ve been working with computers way too long.

I know I’ve been awake too long when I find myself either trying to solve equations on my cell phone or making calls on my calculator.

And if you go for white out on the monitor, you’re in BIG trouble.
