"Social junk" be damned, you've got all you'll ever need to do right before your dried out, blood-shot, unbelieving eyes. Just a two feet or so in front of your face is the most powerful (-ly depressing) form of personal (degradation) entertainment known to (un-) civilized man. You've got page after page of (soul scarring) entertainment at the beck and call of a few key-strokes or mouse-clicks. And it's all only as social as you want it to be (in a ridiculously fraudulent kind of way). You can, in fact, watch as society (-ies) crumble before your very eyes as the shining pillars that support it (Truth, Justice, and the Non-Country-Specific Way™) are replaced with the flimsy buttresses of Assumed Digital Identity, Consumption Based Economy, and Porn. There's so little to do, and so much time... scratch that, reverse it. But make me a promise: never forget that the internet makes you stupid.
I wish that I had more time to read.
If you take the easy route (by making me un-employed), I'll spam your inbox with pictures of badgers (or lamas, or terrible ayb photoshops), so help me.

Granted. i have a way for you to keep your job and read at the same time. Just take a cup of cofee with increasing amounts of amphetemines when you start feeling sleepy. You now have between 6-8 hours each day for extra reading, though you will go a little nutty and probably forget what you read. You will also probably get fired, though not as a direct effect of my wish. :)
I wish I could be looked up to as more than just the guy who gets good chemistry grades.
