I feel like I need a button that says "Hey! Pay Attention to MEEEE!"
It'd be handy for when I'm feeling lonely, or am proud of something, or whatever.
That'd be pretty handy.
Maybe a toggle switch. "Pay Attention to MEEEE!" and "Leave me be!". Anywhere in between and it has no effect.
Yeah, I guess I could go for a nice dial, but I wouldn't be able to trust myself not to micromanage other people's attention spans to my convenience.
Just sayin'

I read this what seems like ages ago. I wanted to say I SEE YOU. UR DOIN IT RIGHT. But couldn't get here from work.
