You know you're addicted to LV when... (slight return)

Everything except LibriVox (yes, this is where knitting gets discussed. Now includes non-LV Volunteers Wanted projects)

Or.....work from home, and maybe take a break or two to PL a chapter throughout your day because you just need to step back a moment and focus on something non-work related :)
Oh I would definitely do that! During COVID I took breaks to listen to audiobooks while playing games on my phone. Kind of the same thing :lol:

You're at a really excellent play with the love of your life, but you take a minute during intermission to check your BC's just to make sure you don't need to assign some sections from your phone.
Waiting for a clever signature line to occur to me.

You fly across the country for a week with family, but download a recording and the text onto your cell and iPad before leaving so you can prooflisten on the plane…

Oh, good. I’m not a total weirdo. (Or if I am, I’m not the only one. :lol: )

You get summoned for jury duty, and the first thing you check for is WI-FI connection and if you can bring your laptop to do some PL while waiting at the courthouse. 8-)

Tomorrow will be interesting!

Update! It does work out fairly well. Brought my laptop and charger, and WIFI is actually quite fast. Able to PL a few chapters this morning waiting for the jury pool call, and also at lunch time.

Can't think of a better way to pass the time while waiting in a courtroom! Hope you're listening to appropriate materials! :lol:

When you bore all your friends and family trying to explain what PL's, BC's, DPL's, etc. etc. are. Hey, too bad for them if they are not bright enough to understand. :D Also, four minutes after you log out, you log back in. Just to make sure that nothing interesting is happening without you! :lol: :D

Ps. Your web is not working for LV, so you check all your other laptops (There are quite a few of them!) to see if it is just the laptop that you are on.

I have to, if I didn't, some mischievous little friend or sibling might decide to add to my workload by requesting multiple stories for me! Or embarrass me by... Who knows what?!? :D
