Instant Messaging

OK, so I will miss certain things from work, most of all IMing with my friends.
Ah, but that does not have to be as I subscribed to Yahoo's IM - and it works. My former colleagues can (somehow) reach me through the corporate-approved IM. So all is well - email is just not conducive to chatting. I intend to be translating at my computer all day for the coming months so I will definitely keep in touch - with those who request my user name.
