Are you an e-mail addict?

I know I am. I get that thrill whenever I hear that 'ding' that signifies new mail in my inbox, and that resounding 'thwunk' that tells me that same message, once read, has been deleted and is gone for good. I constantly have my e-mail program running in the background, check it at least every ten minutes. Often trips to the bathroom in the night are preceeded with a quick stop to power on the laptop and check the mail. Webmail? Yes, i have it and make use of it. It's a constant companion, even when in class. It's a depressing day or even hour when I don't get mail, gotta do something to keep 'em coming. I'm late for meals because I'm acting on a message I've received. Sorry, but if my laptop's nearby, I won't be much company on the phone. And is it any wonder my mobile runs down so fast through checking the mail on the road?

So, are you an e-mail addict?
Know me for who I am, not for who I say I am.
