I have a new addiction, one that I can barely control. When I'm alone at home I can't stop playing with it. Before I fall asleep I find myself doing it under the covers. It's gotten so bad that while at work I take small breaks to find an isolated corner and whip it out for a few minutes. I do it so often that my hands have developed calluses, and recently my wrists have begun to ache a bit from repeated motions. Lord help me, but I simply can not stop playing with my new Nintendo DS Lite. My game of choice is Animal Crossing: Wild World. If you've played this game, then you know just how addicting it can be.

Moving over to the NT Admin side, I'm now being indoctrinated into the world of odd hours and system-wide rollouts. This Saturday will be my first system upgrade, which means I'll be in the office from 7am through midnight performing admin-type change controls. I'm already stocking up on diet Pepsi and my latest obsession: Butterfinger Crisps.

I swear, customer service isn't what it used to be. If this ever happened to me, I think I'd blow a fuse. It's like trying to follow the assembly instructions for your new wicked-cool Ikea futon couch. The more you read it, the less it begins to make sense.

May the Force be with you... (I swear, the more I watch this the funnier it gets)
