yoshie, babe, i type 160 wpm on a slow day. i don't proof. i spend about 1 
hour writing posts to this list, tops. it depends on what i write, 
obviously. it takes me, at most 10 minutes to write something. it takes 
about 1/2 hours to skim thru the mail. big whoop. i just spent my lunch 
hour and breaks on email.

my work hours are from 12 noon to 2-3 a.m. 6-7 days a week. i take out the 
occasional 2-3 hrs for organizing work, mostly the bullshit work: making 
posters, helping people write letters, buying supplies, copying off flyers, 
making sure there are drinks and snacks for the protestors, something my 
kid and i can do together coz i've always thought that making food and 
feeding people is a nice symbolic gesture of comradery.
