Email is killing my IQ

I have to admit it but the article below is true. Shit.

The distractions of constant emails, text and phone messages are a greater threat to IQ and concentration than taking cannabis, according to a survey of befuddled volunteers.
Respondents' minds were all over the place as they faced new questions and challenges every time an email dropped into their inbox. Productivity at work was damaged and the effect on staff who could not resist trying to juggle new messages with existing work was the equivalent, over a day, to the loss of a night's sleep.

"This is a very real and widespread phenomenon," said Glenn Wilson, a psychologist from King's College, London University, who carried out 80 clinical trials for TNS research, commissioned by the IT firm Hewlett Packard. The average IQ loss was measured at 10 points, more than double the four point mean fall found in studies of cannabis users.
The most damage was done, according to the survey, by the almost complete lack of discipline in handling emails. Dr Wilson and his colleagues found a compulsion to reply to each new message, leading to constant changes of direction which inevitably tired and slowed down the brain.

Cold nights

These days, the weather could get so cold that my body iced up when I stepped on the tiled floors in my house. I know some aus'poreans are going to say that I haven't been to their country, or I would freeze. But I realise I really cannot stand the coldness. Like taking 188 to work everyday has become a worry for me in the morning. Judging by the foggy windscreens, I would sometimes hesitate taking the bus, nevermind that I'm late.
Yes, and bathing in the morning has also sent shivers done by my spine even before I stepped into my washroom. Sometimes when the heater was not "heated" up that well, I would usually bathe and hope the water won't come out cold during those 10 minutes, or this would definitely help me in having a bad nose day.
But according to the papers, we may be experiencing one of the hottest years. Ice bergs are still melting in some faraway distance, all thanks to the aircons and fridges we cannot live with. So if you are reading this, maybe you can stop piling up snacks in your fridge for a while, or perhaps hide away that aircon remote control for a week, and this would help the world a bit.
Actually, I wouldn't use the word "help" as there really wasn't any constructive effort done, it would rather be "stop harming".

By the way hor, who got cheap PSP lobang? I was playing the bleach game when I realised how nice it would be to own a portable game console.
