Thing Eight - RSS a reason to be late?

Yes, I went through all the steps and still had trouble subscribing. After reading all the help suggestions, it became clear that I needed to download a newer version of Explorer or Firefox to see everything in Google Reader. I almost had to give up on this to spend some time with the family. But, I trudged through and I now have 8 subscriptions in my Google Reader. I can see all of this becoming very addictive. Is this a legitimate excuse for being late to work? I was busy reading all my RSS feeds. Is that an option in GUSS?

Anyway, I see this feature as an aid to keep us updated and informed on a daily basis both for our personal and professional growth. Perhaps with a daily dose of information. we as librarians can continue to stay sharp in the workplace. This is a nifty way to save time by organizing our interests into one link. I do fear though, at about the time we get comfortable with this, something else will take its place.
