I'm sure that the ticker on the Apple iTunes site isn't live-updated, either, but it's more interesting to treat it as if it were. No doubt!

And speaking of the search-query ticker in the lobby of a certain corporation? That ticker does not show search queries "as they are entered". It's a reasonable assumption and a lot of people at that corporation assume it. But it's not true. Uhm, speaking of time shifting?

I do manage to get stuff done, and I think I do a pretty good job of it. But when I get time-shifted, I'm totally lousy about communicaton. Yeah, I’m realizing I’m not that person, either.

Not just work, but ANYTHING. If I don't have a time constraint, it seems I'll just avoid doing something at all. I don't think I'd ever be able to work at home full time, because just knowing there wasn't stuff I had to get done before I could step into the office again would mean I'd probably do nothing but loaf and eventually get fired. I still think it sounds like the ideal work situation for the person who can manage their time well, but I'm not that person...
