rizzo9247 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I cannot get by an eight-hour work day just by doing work alone, I need something to spice it up, so I keep this forum open on my desktop to get me through the day. With witty comments, nuggets of valuable information, and the occasional goof-ball post, I find this forum to be a good escape from the office world. I was wondering who else does this, or am I the only one suffering the 9-5 day? -Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbn Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I post at work, but then again I sit in front of a computer for 10 hours a day. Reading and posting on the forum helps me clear my head and relax a little bit, keeps me focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picker Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Mostly. I take phone calls for a living, and when the call volume drops off, I have the computer right in front of me, so...

Graham56 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I read/post at work whenever I feel like it! Trouble is, I work for myself so I don't get paid for the time I spend on the forum. And I've currently got a large project to deliver with not enough time left on the schedule. So why am I writing this then? Back to work I guess...

ZZ Thorn Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm at work - I wish I was on the road. I should be on the road again soon, hopefully for most of the summer. It gets slow here at the shop during the summer. I can't play any music clips here. There's an article today that the average person wastes 2.1 hours of their time at work each day via internet, chit-chat, etc. Really, I like it much more when it's busy than when it's slow and boring. I wish I didn't have time to post this, LOL. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ Thorn Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Exactly. http://msn.careerbuilder.com/custom/msn/careeradvice/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=1057&SiteId=cbmsnhm41057&sc_extcmp=JS_1057_hotmail1>1=10166 As I have practically no work to do - there's the link to the story I talked about. I really have to get on the road again. I really think that people being late/leaving early is more of a time-waster than 'spacing out'. Or maybe I just need to increase my spacing out time. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Some days I am more office based than others! Luckily this forum is not blocked, MySpace is, that's a good thing or the students would probably not get any work done. I use the Internet constantly and creatively at work (especially for background music). You have to be discreet and careful though, I stick to breaks - but then I choose when to take a break. My brother-in-law was actually sacked in LA for excessive personal Internet use, though personally, I think it was an excuse to get rid of him. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groover Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Most days are busy and I unfortunately have little time to read let alone post anything on this forum. I fix, configure, upgrade, install and maintain computers all day long at work and have little desire to touch one when I'm home, so the little bit of posting that I do is all at work.

rizzo9247 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Lucky you I can't even get myspace, or youtube. it sucks I try not to get too carried away at work by watching videos on youtube(even though I could spend days there) nor that infamous myspace. I usually just have this page condensed on the lower right side of my monitor, in a 4in x 3in section. Tough to read/post sometimes, but I am doing it now, so it is not too bad. Sometimes I sneak a peak on eBay if I have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
