Okay, I'm at home right now, but lately I have been surfing up a storm at work, mostly at this web site, and to the point where I am getting into trouble. It's an addiction!

Am I alone?

How many of the rest of you chat while you should be doing something more productive that you are getting paid for???

A VERY common occurance around here ;)

LOL, <font color="cyan">Sir Michael</font>,

That is funny because I've thought of making the exact same thread. I've not gotten in trouble (yet), but I've caught myself spending up to 2hrs (out of 8hr shift) browsing and responding to IronWorks threads.

Erm... Mmmmm. Time to come clean - I'm at work right now. Tsk-tsk. I recently moved desks and unbelieveably they gave me the corner desk in a completely open-plan office - I have a corner with floor to ceiling windows! :D So no-one can see what the heck I'm doing (well apart from the construction guys putting up a new office block across the street that is)- as long as I churn out the work it won't raise an eyebrow.

Mwahahahhahaha!!!!!! Your the one that's going to hell - we were only watching :D .

Seriously though - work restricts internet access - so I am a home only dude.

I'm definately in the same category as you. I try so hard not to do it, but it draws me back over and over again.

Work will find out eventually!

99% of my posts come from my work machine [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well this is the magic of IW..

Instead of doing your HW and resting or whatever, you end up posting... and reading.. straining your eyes to thy kingdom come..

(I say it's the evil scheme of Ziroc and he knows we can't blame him heeheehee :D )

Oh, I can relate. Last year my employer let me study from home. So, I enrolled in correspondances university courses. When I was suppose to study and I spent most of my time on this site [img]smile.gif[/img] . I've spent so much time that I limited my studies to about 35 hours the first term (an average of 7 hours per course) and 16 hours the second term (an average of 5.3 hours per course). By studying, I mean reading the courses material, writing papers and reviewing for the final exam. In the second term, the 9-11 attacks and CNN's coverage also distracted me. Nonetheless, I've managed to obtain my undergrad certificate in communications with a 3.43 GPA! I'm either lucky or very intelligent... knowing myself, I'd go with luck.

This board is very fun, very addictive and very dangerous [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

you should tell your boss how educational it is for you to browse these boards. Maybe he'll join in, or better, maybe you'll get paid extra lol

Ah i remember a day when i worked. I hd no trouble in using the internet for my own entertainment cause i was the guy that checked the computer system to see if people were wasting the companys time. Oh i loved that job...
Some advise, never date the MD's daughter, if u do MARRY HER!

I do it all the time. A matter of fact I'm doing it right now.

**Looks over shoulder** hehe my boss is gone, I can post... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Last year I did get a warning over it. But now, I just pop in on my lunch break. If they don't like it I'll sod off to the internet cafe and be non-contactable during emergencies ;)

Yeah, I'm at work right now...

It's hard to avoid it because I have such a boring job, and I can do all of the work they give me in about four hours anyway. They make me stay eight, though. What else am I supposed to do? Look for more work and help the other schmucks who are way more inefficient than me? I don't think so!

Well guess where I am right now? School. In AP English, Humanities, Guitar, and Computer Service and Repair I have access to the internet. Usually I get caught posting here, but the teachers don't really care anymore. Of course I only waste time like this when there's nothing to do. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/littleangel.gif[/img]

I;d probably have the same problem if I had a computer at my desk at school... sadly, I don't... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I only visit like once every few hours and then leave, allowing this place to "grow" then I come back and read through all that has happened and it's not all that bad really...

Magik, never EVER get onto me again about the great US work ethic, cos I am gonna save this post, in fact, the whole of this thread! and anytime you mention the US way of allatime work, I shall just wave it in your face, so there! [img]smile.gif[/img]

The reason the US is so productive blah wibbley wob, is because you've secretly manufactured a whole load of bots that do all your work for you whilst you are all surfing, browsing and gawping.

HAH!!!!

Wibble!

Woof.
