OKay, overdramatising again, and I'm surprised no-one's called me on it...
There's been a warning that the bosses are going to be clamping down on all "inappropriate behaviour" (i.e. evidence of intelligent life) during office hours, and non-work-related email is one area. It isn't the end of the world. Before we had web access at work I used to write my writings in a notepad in among doing stuff, and I can always go back to that. It's the getting it out there that I'll miss. But I can still post from home, so it's not a total blackout.
Junk computers...I've used nothing else for the last twenty years, and been extremely grateful. Junk laptops tend to be scarcer over here.:) But that, as I've said, isn't the issue. I've just been spoiled, and now it's over.
Thank you to all for undeserved expressions of sympathy and encouragement. I'll keep them for when a real crisis happens.
