My new addiction!
I used to brag that I do not have an addictive personality, true, I'm a bit OCD but I always thought being neat and a perfectionist weren't such bad traits. However, a few years ago I found myself totally hooked on Altoid mints. I mean, really hooked, I'd be in hotel rooms on business trips going to the lobby gift store in search of my fix. If they didn't have the flavor I sought (peppermint) I felt shear panic. Friends and colleagues laughed but for me it was pretty devastating to go without.
Lately I discovered I'm hooked on a new thing, this time it's my Blackberry Bold. I check it, and re-check it, granted, I need to be connected to critical projects I'm managing but now, when I think of my survival kit I must add this to the Altoids, toothbrush and Colgate Total toothpaste that I, until now, thought I could not go without. (I promise, this is not a product plug).
I do promote a healthy work-life balance and proper separation but, how is that possible now? It's like the tracking device celebrity fellons get put on their ankle. In any case, I can now relate to Obama's determination to keep his.
