Chronic Switcher
February 3, 2009
With much delight I finally found out yesterday that other people have my affliction. Other people in this world constantly change their email addresses, phones, blog sites, and various other things. This is something I have always done. It can be annoying for some people in my life trying to reach me on old email addresses or even old phone numbers. Amanda worried about this like for switching, like for change when we first started seeing each other which is understandable!
I don’t switch because of trends, or boredom, or to increase productivity.
My switching is mainly confined to gadgets or anything involving the internet/computers, and I know why. Before I could read Mum would take me to the library on the back of her bicycle – it felt like a long trip but in fact it was just 1.5 kilometres up the road. I was to young to read but I would bee-line it for the puzzles, and Mum would get these from the library for me. As soon as I descended from my duck printed seat attached to Mum’s carrier I was into my puzzles putting together the big wooden pieces as fast as I could. I couldn’t read, but I do remember I was racing to get it done; to see the picture it created.
New gadgets, new software, new emails – they are my puzzles. I like figuring things out and each time I change something I have to figure it out, learn something new, and conquer some new task or facet of it. That’s why I’m a switcher
