Bored. Stuck in bed.
#1
So I hurt my back again. I'm stuck in bed till Monday when I get an MRI. Or at least that's when they will schedule one. I'm guessing a few days and I'll be feeling better if not well. I'm just...bored. What did people do before the internet?

So far I watched Around the World in 80 Days (one of my favorites) and Dredd.

I used to read books. Sometimes 7 or 8 books over the course of a weekend. The firehose of useless information that is the Internet has now destroyed my powers of concentration.

Or is it just old age? I sometimes wonder how different I would have turned out if the Internet had existed in my youth.

Glad I'm not the only one!
I can get through a book now, but it certainly takes me longer, and I distract much more easily. I also find myself not picking up books as readily as I used to.

Looks like a lot of us lurk on Macresource Forums when we have
spare time on our hands.
In my job, every once in a while I wish to have 5 minutes with no
Customers to get something done or regroup my brain thoughts.
Then when I have the time, I'm bored and wonder why it's so slow.
I hope your back gets better soon, you sound like me where you need
to be doing something to be happy.

Maybe try a few 30 day trial of Netflix, if you haven't already? Binge show watching of something you've missed can be fun.

Or visit Khan Academy?

And get better, soon!
