| OK, I see that right now there are 94 users on line.
How many of you are at work "killing" time??
I'll be the first to go....I am at work, but I am doing research for potential customers.  |

I wonder what I did while I was "on hold" before M1st. |

| I don't consider it "wasting" time. I like to think of it as mental rejuvenation

Location: Racine, Wi | I'm at work as well, but eating lunch at the moment. I take little "net" breaks here or there, but lately been too busy to log on much from work. If I am logged on, it's usually because I forgot to close the window. |

Location: Lake Tomahawk, WI | During the editing process, like now, there is some downtime when I'm at the render stage. I'm at the render stage. Multi-tasking is what I call it, market research while the editing system is writing effects. Found a good online rockabilly station, along with an AM station out of Billings that carries the Jim Rome and Ed Schultz shows. Boy do I need to get a life.

I'm not "wasting" time though. Whatever work needs to get done gets done when it needs to be done, and apparently that's all my bosses care about. Favorite boss quote:
MY BOSS: "MuskieFIRST"??? Well, I suppose that's allowed..."
ME: "Well, that's good because I'd probably be in a lot of trouble if it wasn't!"

| OK, yes, guilty as charged, I am at work wasting time, although with this silly desk job I really don't get any breaks, so I have to take them at my desk, and muskiesfirst is my break. I just can't stay on the phone for eight full hours or i'd go insane, wait... my life is consumed by muskies, i mean consumed, I may already be insane, wow I need help  |

Location: oswego, il | I had lunch at hooters today.
No internet for me at work unless I sneak a break on a customers computer. We are so busy we have no time anyway even if they allowed us to surf and most of it is blocked anyways. They even did a migration with our laptops and we can't even put a desktop background on it, even the stock windows desktops were removed. |

Location: minocqua, wi. | i'm in agreement with you brian ...
and kid ... over time it becomes more about what you can do and not how or how often you do it ... unfortunately in this case it tends to be both ... not sure you would like my schedule ... but, find something that doesn't seem like work, get paid for it and then it's all good ...

| Looks like Sled can go to a Hooters and be productive, getting work done. Now TJ, if you end up with a job like his just stay away from a Taco Bell, let alone a Hooters since you seem to get the yips at a T-bell. |

| Ya, I check in at work every day to see whats new. It usually takes 5 minutes or so. And if they ever say anything to me about it I will gladly stop. But, I will also stop taking 10 hours of work home per week, and no more taking calls through my whole lunch hour (there's another five free hours they get), and......
Not that I'm bitter or anything! |

Not the best place to get that information, I fear, sooo many conflicting directives and so many folks trying to stir that broth.....not that that is any different from any other source! |

Location: (South of the 218) | 3 year old daughter has a constant snotty nose...and a cough - so I called in sick to stay home and "loop" the cartoons while she "rested" and I re-read Field and Stream, Muskie Hunter and played on here for a while....But if I was at work, I'd have spent my fair share of reading Muskie Hunter and Field and Stream and browsing on here... like someone else said, it's research, right?
I'm a teacher- researching writing assignments by complete strangers so I can teach my 6th graders about the good things in life.
