Lurking while Working

It's Monday and I'm at work.

How many of you post while at work - has a boss ever said anything to you?

I have my own office so I post between people.

How about you?

    I wish that I could post while I'm at work. But it's really hard to find the time in between looking for cards on ebay, checking on my fantasy baseball team, browsing through Mastro, etc. image

    Yep, work would be tough to get through without a little messing around time. In my opinion, it keeps me awake and attentive. If I had to work non-stop all day I'd probably have to start smoking.

    Ya, I post at work all day long... I work in IT, so I'm parked in-front on my laptop all day. Business is slow at the moment, so I get lots (and lots) of Ebay time in through the day too. : )

    ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!

    I am owner at work so I can play all day I suppose... however, too busy for that. I thus tend to lurk while on the phone with people that I am not really listening to. I generally don't post until I hang up though.

    I post during the day, and respond when I go online at night. I don't read the boards on weekends. Need something to do come Mondayimage

    I check the boards and ebay as a break from work, while I'm on hold, during lunch, and only during those work hours that are either before or after lunch.

    Then in the evenings, I log on when I get home, wolf down a meal, and go back to catch up. I understand I have a wife somewhere in the house.

    I've never posted at work. I'll explain later when the boss goes home for the day.

    I work midnights at a hospital and Im alone with no one to bother me. So when I dont have any patients, Im either watching a movie on my laptop or playing online. Ive never had anything said to me I suppose because its better than me sleeping image

    I wish I was busier at work. With all the slow time I've had recently, it gives me more time to search on ebay, and it's starting to get damn expensive! If I had actual work to do, I'd have some more money on hand!

    Aint that the truth!? When work is slow (fortunately not anytime recently) I have more time to spend money on Ebay. Now I am making a few bucks but too busy to spend it. Darn it!

    I hope you get busy at work!

    manage network at my work, so i have free reign.

    my coworker here is constantly on 5-6 other card trading sites at a time, i watch his activity through firewall and laugh. i have even freed up some blocked sites so he could do more baseball card trading...

    sad indeed
