James was doomed from the beginning because he decided to follow one link, which led to another, and then another, which eventually led him to the plunger and a clogged toilet. If he'd only stuck to his work, or at least minimized the game when he heard his wife approaching, he'd still be there today.
So let me ask: Do you find yourself hiding behind "internet work" when there are chores to be done? Do you keep an ear open for family members who might walk by and catch you partaking in an internet boondoggle? Do you find that after hours and hours on the internet, you've forgotten what you were originally supposed to be doing, and then can't get up because your butt's asleep?
Nope. Me neither! Instead, I work and never pause for food nor drink nor to take a breath of fresh air out in the backyard where the goats are gently lowing. Nay, though I walk through the valley of Google, Yahoo and free downloads of Sports Illustrated bikini models, I follow no link, play no game, search for no high-priced items that are way beyond my budget, nor download a single bite or bit that isn't previously approved by Norton or McAfee.
And having said that, I hope you'll pardon me. I must get back to work. I'm on the internet, you know.
