Elevator says: 64% of Americans spend more time with their PCs than their significant others¹
Does this include people without significant others? Because for me, any amount of computer usage > 0 would put me in that 64% category.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does it include (a) work and (b) sleeping in bed? Because I spend my whole work day with my pc, but my whole asleep time with my so.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And to follow up on flea's question, if the laptop is on the bedside table, is that counted as time with neither or both?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To comine everyone: my laptop is in my bed, and I have no SO.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Today I was planning on being all productive and getting a lot of cleaning done, but instead have been huddling under blankets because it's chilly and turning on the heater set off a smoke alarm. So at some point I will have to clean the floor vent, I guess.
Tomorrow I get to go on a tour of Martinez's Historic Homes and then hit the Waterfront Fest in the new 'hood. Maybe do some stuff at the new house, we'll see what kind of time and motivation i have going.
Sunday's got football, Sunday visitation, and watching my mom tapdance in part of the Follies Brassiere.

ita and I have the same elevator. Which is kind of freaky, considering we get off several floors and thousands of miles apart.

So what are people doing this weekend?
I have friends coming into town from NY for the weekend. They are taking me out to (Hubert Keller's) Fleur de Lys for my birthday. I have very good friends.

64% of Americans spend more time with their PCs than their significant others¹
I read this as more time ON their PC and was like "Well, sure, even the brand-new stages of a relationship, I don't spend that much time ON my gf!"). Um.
