I'm on it all day at work. I have a home office, so there is no-one to walk past.

That's how I became a Diamond Member in such a short time. You can do it too if you write now for the introductory video and attend one of our Power Poster sessions. No obligation. No pressure.

So far 4 of us use it all day everyday and nobody else uses it. That mean we're at work doing this rather than working. I also work from home. I just don't have as much to say as SilentC.

Although I use it at work, it doesn't interfere with work apart from keeping me at work longer hours. For example if I don't mind waiting back after hours if there is an urgent problem and I am waiting on a telephone call.

Work always takes first priority.

The early versions of Leisure suit Larry (Larry, Larry Laffer) had a boss key (control B) which brought up a graph on your monitor for people playing the game at work.

Wooooo! :eek: 8 out of 8. I think we’ve got a problem here. The vote should be a bit more balance later tonight when the goodie goodie gets home.

Ah That reminds me to a few years back. A colleague asked me to write him a program. The program displays some fancy screen work, progress bar and everything. It goes on forever. He often run the program pretended to run some massive reports while he was out having a smoke and drink.

good thing the poll is anonymous !!!

**Barry_White** · 26th May 2004, 04:26 PM

Well I don't work so I can use it all day if I want to, but it certainly keeps you from doing some more important things like making saw dust or taking out the garbage or chopping fire wood to keep warm in the New England Tablelands.

Good to see you got one for idiots.

I don't have access to the net at work as otherwise I would be on the board all night. I have to wait until I get home in the morning. As it is, I spend about 3 or 4 hours a day of my own time here rather than the firms time. Dammit!

Hi .... my name is Stinky and I am a reformed boardaholic.

During my previous employment I worked the standard 9-5:30. The boss was 11:30-12:00 and 3:00-5:30. This left me with plenty of free time and much of that was spent on the boards checking new posts. There were times where I would scream in horror as there were no new posts in the 45 seconds since I last checked. I would read every post and every reply, just because I could. I would be now able to adjust a Trition saw within a fraction of its life and make it cut square even though I have never touched one before. I was able to add useless comments at ease ....... Now I have seen the light.

3 weeks ago I left my previous employment for a new position. With this new position came the need to impress. You guessed it, the board during office hours had to go. I am now restricted to viewing new posts from home only. After a long day at work I rush home to find 50-60 new unread posts, often with multiple relpies. Well I am no longer a young man .... I don't have the strength. I must say that now I limit myself to reading only the posts with interesting titles.

Yes its been hard .... I am sure that not eveybody can do what I have done. Would I recommend it? No.

It would seem that a serious proprtion of our forumites are lowdown cheating mongrels who don't deserve a decent job....... the rest obviously are blue collar workers who can't get to a computer till after work.
Oh, and there is me, self-employed, poor tired bugger who works harder than all the rest of you and doesn't get to the computer till after dinner.
