Will not be online much


Well, Scott and I had a major argument today. Not sure where things are going to go from this point. But I guess the root of all my evils is the time I spend on the computer. From my perspective, the amount of time I spend on the computer is the effect and not the cause, but who am I to know anything. But I'm tired of the argument. So, I'm going to be staying off the computer for a while. Not completely, because I don't want to lose touch with some people. So will still be on long enough to send emails. I doubt I'll be doing much writing for a while. Can't really do that without being on the computer. Not that anyone is waiting for my next words with bated breath.

 

And I do need to spend more time making sure Sam stays off his ass. Apparently I don't do enough with him and that is why he is the way he is. I suppose he is right there. Sam is a straight A student, but that isn't as important as 'doing things.' And yeah, I suppose that is true. I was a straight A student who had no social life to speak of--and look where it has gotten me. So yeah, good point there.

 

And you know what started all this TODAY? Apparently Scott has to tell Sam what to do more times than he thinks he should. But Scott rushes his instructions and tells Sam more than one thing to do. I'm sorry, but Sam needs to be given instructions one step at a time--or he will rush ahead in his mind to the next step and the next one and will then forget the first one. It has something to do with his ADHD. And he IS lazy. But he will do things if you tell him to and tell him one step at a time. Yeah, it's annoying as f**K, but it doesn't help if you just yell at him and then end up doing it yourself. *laughs* Because then it becomes MY fault because I have made things too easy for him.

 

*shakes head* It really is all a bunch of babble. The real issues have nothing to do with the ones being argued about. But no one will listen to me on that, so whatever. I'm going to play the game and alter MY life for everyone else because really, that is the only thing that I have control over. So we'll see if anything changes. I'm just tired of the arguments.

Good luck, Luc!

 

Life is rarely simple and cause-and-effect is often misstated. Try changing to see if things improve, but don't forget to put some pressure on the others, too -- you've taken a step in compromise and they need to do their bits, too.

You never know, it might work. However, if you just swop the computer for TV (even if you are snuggled up next to Scott), you haven't gained a thing. In fact you'll have lost a deal of intellectual interest.

 

I spend far too much time on-line as well, but then that's the way the world is heading.

 

I doubt I'll be doing much writing for a while. Can't really do that without being on the computer. Not that anyone is waiting for my next words with bated breath.

You'd be amazed at how many will be saddened by this.

 

Don't be a stranger.
