Claude’s Top 3: Things I’m Addicted To
April 10th, 2008 by ClaudeTagged as: addiction, completion, internet, mt. dew.
1) Mountain Dew
It doesn’t matter if it is original, Live Wire, AMP or my most favorite (now discontinued) Game Fuel.
The only Mt. Dew product I don’t care for is Code Red, but I will drink it if there is nothing else left in the fridge at work.
2) The Internet
I may get a little bit of a “pass” on this one, because it is the crux of my job…but I find myself unconsciously checking my (7 different) email accounts throughout the day…as well as a several blogs and sites. Like an obsessive-compulsive who needs to shut the front door 42 times before leaving the house, I will roll through the sites I have logged into my memory throughout the day, almost as a compulsive catharsis.
3) “Completion”
Whether it be completing a collection of “widgets” or knowing everything there is to know about a specific topic…my mind constantly races until I feel like I have every last detail in my head or worked out on a specific project. (This is especially dangerous for me as a Web Developer…since no website is ever “complete”)
