So, work performance anxieties suck. I’m uncertain of my ability to hack it, though certain circumstances should make it easier to perform. 8 hours/day. No websurfing, no gaming, no im, and NO partisanship. (I seriously doubt they’d be cool with any the first 3, and even if they were, uh, probably not a good idea for me. =)
The last time I had a full time job was in 2002. The last time I was in a job with no net access was working with Ro. I’ve never had a job that was both full time and no net. I seriously slacked via webbrowsing at motorola. Starting in my teen years with DnD & no friends to play it with, I developed a habit of reading about games more than playing them. My motorola web-browsing certainly matched that pattern.
Anyway. The anxiety is still there, but I’m not about to let any of this stop me.

I can certainly relate (as I type this response in lieu of the email to my client).

You’d be surprised…
the gaming and IM for sure will be gone – you’ll be able to surf, though perhaps in a more, um, circumspect manner. As for the partisanship, I found it refreshing not to have political crap bantered about all day. ‘
You may find you (gasp!) enjoy the work!

Well, for the gaming/im/email/etc, there’s always the lunch break and internet cafes. Though, the loner route seems antisocial. Enh, we’ll see how it goes.
