Chirky

I am trying to cope with an addiction. I don't know how I allowed myself to get
this bad. I'm not sure where to go from here, or if there are support groups
available.

I have Yahoo!, MSN, and GMail messengers that tell me when I have new mail. I
don't even have an MSN email account, and still, my computer automatically logs
me in every day. While I am working throughout the day, I find my mouse
scrolling down to the tiny "e" that links me to the world wide web. I click on
it before my brain can Just Say No, and the Yahoo! search page immediately
appears. I scan the news stories, check for the new mail icon (just in case my
mail indicator hasn't notified me yet), and try to make up things that I can
search for.

I click through several blogs saved in my Favorites, check various news sites,
and then close the window. Less than three minutes later, I have Yahoo! open
again, repeating the same routine. All the information listed in the news and
entertainment sections are the same. So I close the window and walk away from my
desk.

When I return, I open the Internet again. Same procedure, same information.

What is wrong with me?!?
