That's an interesting point. So even though she claims to have loved her clerical job at the hospital in 8.1, she couldn't totally shake off her desire to be in the know. She remains an information junkie who compulsively reads the news, and probably a few sites she should not have had access to. You don't lose those hacking skills just because you changed jobs, after all. I wonder, if the events of 8.1 had not occurred, whether Ruth would have been able to remain content with her "simple and elegant life"?
