Congratulations! Consider yourself the proud winner of Arledrian's understatement of the year award 2004. Here's your trophy. It's a little heavy, but I figured it could occasionally double as a substitute for you in your industrious capacities... as a paperweight, or a doorstop, for instance. :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

As for me wasting precious hours, forget it. Even my chill-out time is sacred. Besides, are reading, drinking, and video games really considered a waste? :D

Define constructive.

Some people might regard spending time on the internet, or playing a game a waste of time, i don't. It's my hobby. It's all in the eye of the beholder. :D

If you look at what I posted at the top you will clearly see it says " how much time do you spend doing stuff thats not important" so yes playing a game and time on the internet unless its paying bills, shoping, taxes, or research, it is considered by me in this survey as a waste of time.

</font>[/QUOTE]Pish [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D . Can I help it if I need a LOT of leisure to refresh myself? :D Anyway I stand by my position. I never play if I have work to do, and I never leave work to the last minute or do a less complete job than I could have if I'd spent more time on it. So I don't see time not spent working a 'waste' because there's nothing else I should be doing in that time.

I think if you have the attitude that Blind Prophet is taking in this poll, that anything non-work or non-essential is considered a waste of time, then you'll suffer from a lot of guilt if you do 'waste time', or burn yourself out trying to fill every hour with worthwhile activities.

I don't waste time, I enjoy it.
Where it all goes to is another matter.

<font color=red> Grrr Thats enough rationalizing for this poll....but I guess its my fault for not being specific enough. </font>

No, you were specific enough. But what's a waste of time for one person, is quality time for another. Personally i think it's a waste of time to work too much.

Time spent doing stuff I want to do is time well spent in my book. Work is something you do so you can afford fun.

It only went up to 10... not enough for me... I feel my day is always wasted... no matter what I'm doing...

Kakero 02-27-2004 04:11 AM

For me it's 24/7. I don't see that in the poll though.
