I'm a fairly new 'Catter who's already a candidate for the 12-step programs alluded to by lamarca (she's a 12-step participant and Mudcat recidivist). I check the 'Cat several times during the workday when I check my e-mail. Usually I intend only to check out what folks are talking about so I can go back from my home computer, but.....(sigh) being a rather undisciplined sort, I can't stop at one little sip, so it becomes a swallow, and then a gulp, and then....gasp.... I usually end up responding to one thing or another from the office. Don't tell my boss. Or if you do, tell her I'm honing my internet search skills. Kath
