First Post...Ever

So first post. Interesting enough can not find anything to say of worth. As it happens my jobs keep me from thinking about anything except food and sleep. Maybe that is the point of working, to keep you so occupied with finishing meaningless tasks, that you do not have to think about anything. No time to reflect on your life, to read an interesting book or to simply think. It is a constant rush to finish one task so that another one can start and finish. Now we have devices that allow us to work more efficiently, so that we can get more done than ever before. We have become a people of micro-management-(Even as i type this post...I am at work and have my BlackBerry sitting next to me waiting for calls from my other various jobs) more machine like than ever before. I think it was Marx who said that eventually our lives will be so reliant on our need to be productive that we can not live without the need to work. We have become entrenched into a system that is demanding more and more from us everyday.
