ME + IM Forever

When IM became the latest rage, I hated it. I saw it as just a new way to interrupt me while I'm working. Didn't they already invent something for that...like a telephone?

Interrupter: u there?
Webigail: @#$%^&*()! This better be good.


Years later, I love IM. Why? Because it allows more and more developers to work from home. Distrustful bosses now realize that with IM, as long as you respond within 30 seconds to their "u there?", you're as good as in the office. And with my IM audio alert set to maximum volume, I can get all my housework done by five o'clock. It's a win/win for everyone.

Vive le IM!
