Sometimes I think I have to make those "snow days"...

Sometimes I think I have to make those "snow days" for myself. Unfortunately not only do I feel guilty about doing it, but I'm usually thinking all day about what I "should" be doing and how others are counting on me to do this or that.

I do think that sometimes simply the availability of so much communication leads to this feeling of pressure to be connected, but I also think we're in a transition time as a society and we will get through it.

I'm thinking about the invention of the telephone, and later, the answering machine. We were able to work that new technology into our lives to the point where we feel we now have more control (maybe not total, but at least more), eventually I'll think we'll get to the same point with web 2.0 tools as well.

Right on, sister! We are here with four teachers ...

Right on, sister! We are here with four teachers grading and I am reading your post aloud. We need a virtual snow day, in which we lose the internet as well. That would solve our problems, eh?
