Well, lately I'm working from 9.15 till 16 (usually) and I'm always browsing the internet (that's my job) and when I get back home.. I don't feel like switching on my Laptop.. I get annoyed from using it.. in fact lately, when I'm at home I'm using my old pda to browse CC.. I don't know what's happening... I'm ending up watching TV (something that normally I don't do) and I'm feeling like I want to go out and do other things.. I go out at every occasion I have, clubbin' every Saturday.. sometimes even Friday and Saturday.. going out for a coffee/pizza with my family.. I'm feeling.. strange lol.. but I'm loving it to say the truth..

I've got a cool game GRID, great graphics and everything.. but still.. I get annoyed! I just can't stand it anymore.. does this happen to you?

Anything repetitive I find unstimulating (except for posting at CC :)). If it's your job, you have to do something over and over again; maybe that's where the problem is. Try varying things a little bit, in some way, maybe it will inject the fun back into it.

Remember when we were talking about fixing PCs and you said you enjoyed it and I said one day you will hate it (when you have to do it as a job)?

Yes... I remember that, it's true :(

Do what? I try playing games at home etc.. The only thing that I like is watching a DVD on it.. coz I lay on the bed, and turn the laptop screen facing me.. and I watch a DVD.. relaxed.. besides that.. I hate nearly everything that I try.

I feel you there:) This is why I took up programming in addition to IT fields. I work in IT but do programming for entertainment. This gives me something to read about and google all day while I'm at work, but I can't actually do any coding till I get home. This usually gives me some incentive to jump on my computer when I get home. I like to try the things I have been looking at all day in my spare time. I still get very sick of using my computer in any sense. The time away is good.

Well.. I do use my own laptop at work.. so it's kinda like I'm at home.. whatever I can do at home.. I can do at work.. still.. idk.. lately I just want to hang out as much as possible.. and stay away.. although now I gotta find some cool GPs software for my PDA.. so maybe that will make me use the laptop for a couple of hours...

Frequently, I find myself just wanting to read a book at the end of the day. 8+ hours on a computer gets to be a bit much... I often don't feel like pushing for 15 hours in a day :)

Eight hours a day of PC usage is about my max too. My head starts to hurt after that.

Other than hanging out with my wife, I can't imagine anything better than coming home to a good book .

Hanging out eh? ;)

Yeah, it happens me also, after working eight hours in front of PC, my starts feeling sleepy. I get annoyed with the PC.

Hanging out :) Right now, we're finishing Escaflowne on Netflix, then we're going through the Avatar series (all 3 seasons). There's nothing like watching movies with your best friend... especially when she's fun to cuddle with :)
