It seems like the BBS is most active monday thru friday durring work hours. Traffic/post certainly goes down on the weekends and in the evenings. The record for most users on line was at 1:15 pm on a friday. I'm just currious how many of you are spending time here when you are being paid to be doing something productive.

Paid to do something productive -

The hardest job I have held since graduate school required 50% of my time -undivided attention-. So, I give an hour, take 15 minutes, give an hour, take 1/2 hour, give 4 hours, take 15 minutes - yadda yadda yadda.

Productivity is a relative term, right?

Work (for me) sucks. I'd rather be surfing here. If the group I work for had any sort of clue, I'd be working.

It does pay though... It is tough to argue with that.

Fiid.

THEY.........moniter the puters.
Anything over 6 minutes gets recorded...or so I hear.

i am da boss ...

between

coding watermarking algorithms and the such

playing quake3

1315 PDT is 1615 EDT - my week's pretty much over by Friday afternoon...

I would love to vote, but I am the boss and my home and business are the same place! I'm always here, I'm always working, I'm always tired, and it gets real fking old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fat Tire, take me away!

My job requires me to be at my desk 95% of the time. Even when I run out of busywork, I'm still supposed to be here because it's my responsibility to answer the phones (I'm a receptionist - glamourous, eh?). I refuse to sit here and twiddle my thumbs, so I get a lot of online reading done.

I am da boss too...that's why all my surfing is done at home.

If the school's computers where open, I would be on here durring lunch.. but I am normally on here about 2+ hours a day.

Andrew

Of course, the people that vote "100% at home, I don't work" would be the first to vote in this poll, huh?

Queenie- I answer phones as well. Gives me plenty of time to read, type, and bid on stuff while at work

I yousta get most of my 914 online fix while I was at work until they cataloged my time spent and where and showed it to me
Since then I've tried to not visit my friends at the 914 club while at work. (but Ive been thinkin real hard about gettin a PDA with wireless internet and just being on the sly )

BTW in one month my tally for non-business related internet work was 48hrs! and sittin right there at the top of the list(highest usage) was 914club.

musta been a slow month
Good thing I have understanding superiors!

No worries I still get my 914 fix at work I just step out and look at my car!

Dont tell her, but I'm the boss too !!

echocanyons, I just read your post. My wife and I were just talking about surfing at work. I read your post to my wife and we laughed to tears!

I have my office in my house. I work live on the company server. They have an auto download of all my activity. It just pops on at random and sends a mirror of my activities. I don't use my work computer for personal use. But I have my personal computer right next to me if I want to take a break.

Rich,
Its a pretty hard to explain why they paid you for a whole week for surfing the internet.

But lesson learned

Kelly ..that is awesome. It sounds like the IT guy's have nothing better to do than monitor employees.

B

musta been a slow month for them too

Cheers, Jen! Let's hear it for the phone-answering, 914-driving girls/chicks/ladies/women of the world! All two of us! Woohoo!

(There may well be more of us out there, but you and I get extra credit for posting here.)

I'm on a Federal government system.

Monitor this

Ever since I got a broadband connection at home, I have to compete with my wife for Internet time. (She almost always wins at Rock-Scissors-Paper )

*(shrug)*

As long as I can get my fix during the day, I'd rather be working on the car or playing with my boys when I'm at home anyway.

Well, first thing I do when I get to the office is check my e-mail and messages here
That way I can catch up with you guys while I was sleeping
Beyond that, not much activity here while I'm working.
By the time I go home you guys show up for work and start posting here
So most of my visits here are in the evening and late night

cheers,

Jeroen

I'm the one who monitors the internet usage at work....

But, probably 75% at home 25% at work.

How do all you people not work??? That's the majority right now!!!
I want some of that!!

They all got fired because they were surfing 914world.com instead of working

cheers,

Jeroen

I live at work, I work, and work, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I am going to have to get a second job, now that the turbo thread snagged me.

I need to be in corpOrate IT then, I am getting tired of driving an hour to do things like reboots, and plugging them in.

Not really, I like driving for an hour.



Users? Nice people, but they couldn't fight their way out of a rusty teener with bad seals.

It sounds like you do contract work...Is that correct? I do a little of that too, it helps support my air-cooled habit!

You work long hours and many years, then you get to retire which is why I now get to surf from home

I do 90% of my "time" on 914 from work. Cause lets face it, mindlessly repeating to a postmaster "No your going to need a rDNS on that to send to us" doesn't take all my time.

Even if it did, Well I'm looking for a new Job anyway.
