it feels like someone has pulled the plug out of my life support system

The Motley Fool website is down, meaning that I cannot 'obsessively check' (thanks, arralethe) my share prices with ease. I'm all twitchy as a result. I must be an addict.

I could stop losing money on the stock market any time I wanted.

In order to keep myself from going buggy, I have decided to get something to keep my hands busy

I'm not entirely sure why you're blaming me for your obsession with money - as far as I've been able to tell it's one of those things that seems an inherent part of what makes you davywavy.

And I don't want to know what you're doing with your hands, thanks very much......

You once said that, from my description of what I do, I seem to do nothing at work except obsessively check my share prices.

Suddenly I find myself going cold turkey. *Twitch* *Quiver*

Ah, that was at least one job ago, and probably round about the time we had that very silly email going around about the capitalist competition of Microsoft and the Four Horsemen.....

I seem to recall I was in a job where I did extremely little on a daily basis at that time too.

I had forgotten that conversation!

As I now work for myself, naturaly I work dead hard. oh yeah.

As one can tell from the way you're never on LJ these days, due to the stress of the self-employed.
