How many of you are supposed to be working right now instead of scanning the forum? I'll confess first, I jump in here while working... for short bits.

I'm only supposed to be working if I have something to do. If I'm here, I don't.

I am at work right now, and I probably have stuff to do. Generally, the more homework I have to do, the more I post here to delay doing it....grr.

Pff, doesn't matter with my job, as long as I get it done.
Since I'm spending 60+ hrs at work (no paid overtime), I do throw in some 'NN to stay sane.

No, wait, scratch the last part.

If the goofing is relegated to lunch hour, does it count?

When I was working at a company in Manhattan for the past few months I would only be on here before work started or during lunch breaks. Now I am back in school and depending on the class I will post a bit.

I probably hit these forums 10 times a day from work...something my corporate (GE) overseers track closely I'm sure. My justification is that I don't smoke, so I probably spend less time here than co-workers who go outside five or six times a day.

Still, I could spend a lot more time here if MacNN would just change its name to sixsigmaperformance.com

Whenever they do not give me work, I am on the internet. If they want me to work they should give me work. I do a tons of things that are not work relate but as soon as they give me something, I am off the net.

Not only am I working right now, but I'm working at home today, so I didn't even have to leave the house to goof off!

I post here while I wait for Quark to print. Two-minute print times suck.

Of course! All the time (obviously, look at my post count!)...but do I still get all of my work done and always on time? You better believe it.

Why the heck did Monique even post this ?
We were talking about goofing off at work, and she drops that knowledge on us ?

corner of 5th & Main, perhaps
Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

My job = paid to goof off. So yes, I am currently at work, getting payed, and posting on the 'NN.

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species
