Two Hands

This morning when I arrived at work I brewed my tea, sat down at my desk and read through my email while checking recent Twitter updates. One of the first statuses I read was from a woman who manages the Public Relations department for a very high-end fashion designer in NYC. She wrote:

"G-d gave us two hands. One to hold coffee, the other to hold a Blackberry-"

While I realize the humor in her post and the reality of the field I work in (social media = staying connected, 24/7), the idea that this was not purely (or even mostly) humor did make me a little sad. This woman, for as successful as she is, probably has a stronger relationship with Starbucks and her Blackberry than she does with a human being. She probably does use her two hands this way more often than not.

When I think of all the ways you can put your hands to use, clutching a beverage and a cell phone aren't really the most inspiring I can think of.



Also - just interesting to note her hesitation to use the name "God" in its fullness...I mean, it's probably just a typo, right?
