Is this alright?

I'm always a believer of "Shrugging-Off-Before-Work" activities. Before you start the day's work, admit it, you are expecting new emails, new comments, new friend requests, new poker invites... And you also would want to read the news, blogs, check new music, and simply browse for some energy boosters that will jumpstart your day. This routine has become part of our dailies. Information e-ra.
