I'm not dead! (again)
It's always fun to log into your IM and get 100 "Hey! Where you been?" messages right off the bat. There are times when I really, really wish AIM had an invisible mode. I honestly don't know why they don't, considering well, ICQ has one. And Yahoo has one. And MSN has one... I got curious enough that I did a quick google, but just came up with really odd stuff.
I'm starting to get worried about the net culture... if you aren't on IM, you're off the planet. If you haven't been on IM in awhile, chances are you're dead. If it's been a decently long while, chances are you've been buried and its an utter shock if you pop online during diurnal or crepuscular hours... there's still email, people. Even when bouncing from hotspot to hotspot I have the train time to kill.
Things have just been kicking my ass. I've had a really large load going on... work & personal. Really haven't known whether I'm coming or going again over the last few weeks. Wish I was kidding. I really hate having to get up, see what day it is, and see what my calendar is telling me to do. I should just know, damnit. Pretty sure sign I'm overloaded.
But I'm determined to make them ease up, and impose some more sane structure. This whack-a-mole thing isn't doing it for me. I'm great at giving myself a few specific focuses at a time, and multi-tasking within those. When it goes beyond that, exception errors abound.
But you can prolly expect a flurry soon. Like I said, I have some train time to kill.

There is and will be an option for AIM to start in AWAY or other mode. Hypothetically.

Please, don't tease me about starting out in invisible mode, or that being added in as an option.

You know I would not joke about that!
