> 2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
I don't even sleep *alone* in a twin bed.
> 4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
Until recently, 6AM *was* when I went to bed. I'm naturally nocturnal.
But now I have a pesky job that makes me get up in the actual morning!

They didn't even say "hook up" when I was young...

I have to admit that I did that once when I was pretty young. The guy
upstairs turned on the disco really loud - with a pounding bass and drums -
and then went *out*. Oh, btw, this was at 2 AM. He had a night job, and
would come home in the middle of the night to start partying. I had a
job that required me to get up at 7AM.
> 15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
Yep. This happens at least once a week.
> 20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good sh.t."
Another admission: I buy "Two-Buck Chuck", the $2 wine at Trader Joe's.
And it's really not that bad. :)

I didn't spend 90% of my computer time for real work when I was doing real
work including a lot of PITA data entry. Unless you count the time spent
downloading tax stuff back in the early days of the modem and online
services. Even then I either had a second computer going or was reading or
doing something else. Used to irk Charlie when I'd get two computers online
and be messing with my laptop at three AM. I'd literally forget to go to
bed, and he had to be careful not to trip over phone cords if he got up at
night.
I'm quite sure more than 10% of my computer time has been "personal" since
the first computer game was invented.

And then came Bubbels, and my work : personal ratio went *way* down!
