Yesterday, two of four people in a room where sitting at their desks, compulsively checking AIM profiles and away messages and idle statuses. Our conversation was about reading, or trying to read, far too much from AIM profiles and away messages and idle statuses.

Now I'm sitting here with the "Edit Away Message" window staring me blankly in the face, daring me to leave the charming, witty line that caters to all of the potential audiences. Damn instantaneous communication.
