True: it's unpleasant to be called away from something you're absorbed in, only to find that the person who summoned you so peremptorily just wanted you to look at a commercial they thought was cute. Worse still to venture out only to be made a scapegoat for someone else's bad mood. And worse than that, to be treated as if what you have to say is not worth hearing. (An ex-boyfriend of mine used to cut me off in mid sentence with "Excuse me, my eyes are glazing over here"--which is one of the reasons he's now ex, and good riddance.) I'm sorry you're in that situation.

Still, four hours seems like a fairly adequate chunk of time to spend online every day--you still have your job search, your walking, and other things to do, and four hours out of sixteen seems like a reasonable online/offline balance. The trick to making the best use of your scarce online time is to budget it like you'd budget your time in any other pursuit. Plan in advance how you're going to spend it, in the way that will give you the most satisfaction you can get in four hours. You can't do everything you might like to do, every day--any more than E. B. White could do everything on his to-do list in the terrific essay "Memorandum"--

TODAY I should carry the pumpkins and squash from the back porch to the attic. The nights are too frosty to leave them outdoors any longer. And as long as I am making some trips to the attic I should also take up the boat cushions and the charts and the stuff from the galley and also a fishing rod that belongs up in the attic. Today I should finish filling in the trench we dug for the water pipe and should haul two loads of beach gravel from the Naskeag bar to spread on top of the clay fill. And I should stop in and pay the Reverend Mr. Smith for the gravel I got a month or two ago and ask him if he has seen a bear.

(You get the idea. And it ends--I'm paraphrasing here--"well, it's starting to be dark outside, so I had better get going. Specially as I need to get a haircut while I am at it.")

Good luck!
