MetaChat - What with

MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter. Questions? Check the FAQ. Please note: This is important.

What with the Wiki, IRC, Radio MeCha, the site itself, as well as still occasionally looking at AskMe and MetaFilter proper, MetaChat is threatening to become a slack vortex that will siphon off every last molecule of my productivity. That is all.

What do you mean "threatening?"

Exactly.

That's what I was going to say too.

If I don't close my browser I never get any work done. No one really seems to notice though . . .

You are definitely preaching to the choir here, Capn.

Oh yeah. The slack vortex here is very frightening.

what is this 'productivity,' you speak of, earth creature?

I know, I know that's why I've pledged to "take a break" from work so that I can get more done on Metachat in the new year.

Paging Divine_Wino - go log in at the wiki so your user page shows up in da list.

I cannot ico my darlin' I am one who suffers from the can't log in syndrome, perhaps because of my jaunty but awkward underscore. Dogdy has pledged to fix this when he is not tired and or has nothing else to do, so we shall just wait till then, but thanks again.

I logged in and I already regret it.

Yeah. So, regarding so-called productivity, I refer to work as "work" these days, with hand-mimed quotation marks.

I only go to work these days to save on bandwidth at home. The hour-long train journey between them is an agony and I have seriously thought about getting an i-burst account so I can feed my addiction even then. Although, I must admit to forsaking you all recently for the sake of "getting ahead", which is just plain wrong.

Specklet, I do that, too!

Also, someone stop me before I change the wiki again!

Also also, I really want to go home now, but my bus isn't for another half hour!
