Another Day With My PC

Christmas is just around the corner. I’m still swimming over piles of paper that I should have already sorted out and processed, but the mandatory yuletide shopping has wreaked havoc on my schedule.

The Internet has greatly helped in putting my shopping time on a diet. I’ve bought a couple of things on eBay in order to save time in scouring through department store shelves and burning my patience on kilometer-long lines at the counter.

I haven’t checked the dailies yet, but I think there are no reports of postal service problems this season. I think we have the Internet to thank that for, too. If I’m not mistaken, I haven’t sent a single holiday snail mail this year. In case you don’t know, Hallmark moments can now be made or simulated in cyberspace.

I hope my older relatives would learn how to adapt with the changing times. Until then, I think I might still be feed the rusty old mailbox in front of my apartment from time to time.
