Technically Speaking

The Truth and Nothing but the Truth

Am I in 'love' with technology ?

I don't think so. Let me tell you, I absolutely don't understand why people watch television. Why indulge yourself to too much technology ? Staying connected to people is so important. You also have to now what is happening in the world. That is why I check my emails and read the newspaper on-line! If anybody tells you I love technology, don't believe that....and did that person take a Lie Detector Test? These days you shouldn't trust anybody without concrete evidence. Okay, let's do this, I'll tell you what a typical day for me is like and let you be the judge.

In the morning I get up with the help of an alarm clock, and use 'some' gadgets to prepare breakfast quick. It's not about my 'love' for technology, it's about time management. I exercise a little on my tread mill and take a shower with the hot water that is not heated in the sunlight !. Yes, I heard that my mother used to heat up water that way before giving us bath, but that seems so silly !

I put on clothes that comes back from the Cleaners. I purchase the matching shoes and accessories through on-line catalogs. On my way to work I drop off the children at school. In the car I listen to the music or the news. I don't forget to get coffee in Styrofoam cup at the drive through. I park at the parking lot where my card gets scanned at the gate. At office I take the elevator to save every single second I can so that I am not late punching in. You know how important it is to be ready to interact with people. I cannot stand people who are always late and stop and chat too much. You can socialize and still be on a timer, so to speak !

For the sake of my job I check my schedule on my laptop, answer the page, and talk to my patients over the phone, if needed. I also have to access WebMD and other PDR sites just for my patients. I could easily do that with the printed version only if we had that in the office. Who does the ordering at our office anyway? I think I'll have fire somebody to make a point, but then why I didn't think of that in the last 6 years?
