Ars Mysteriorum Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I was curious as to how, throughout a workday, this site manages to accrue so many posts.

Jack Tar Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yep, I work for a University and so have a private office with outstanding Internet speed. Throughout the day I need to take some time away from work in order to recharge, so I usually skim through my favourite forums/news sites. I suppose I should get up from my desk and stretch my legs, but that would be healthy :eek: Quote 132/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drohem Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I am a stay-at-home father with a 2-year-old and newborn. Sometimes I get a moment or two throughout the day; but it really depends on how my girls are feeling at the moment. Quote BRP Ze 32/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm an intermittently employed (temp library work and contract editing work) house husband, and I sort of half live on the Web during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutekh Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I post when I think have something add to a topic. Which isn't all that often. Quote BRP 31/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My office job is not boring, but I do frequently check the forum to escape the insanity. SGL. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRose Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I put I have too much free time but that not really accurate. I work nights and my days off are often in middle of the week ,like today. So not a whole lot to do at home in middle of the week.. Well wife can think of a whole lot of things for me to do while at home alone but they are not very fun.

Ars Mysteriorum Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yup, working stiff over here. Nice break from entering numbers into funky programs to check out what's going on over here. Otherwise the numbers start to eat my mind. Quote "Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal..." - H.P.

RMS Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I am a stay-at-home father with a 2-year-old and newborn. Sometimes I get a moment or two throughout the day; but it really depends on how my girls are feeling at the moment. Cool. I did that (or basically that) for several years for both my kids while finishing up my latest schooling and starting back to full time employment. Now, I'm back as a professor and my days are way too busy to check here, when I'm at school. However, I still get there late after seeing my kids off on the bus or dropping off at daycare, and I get home before the bus arrives so I get a little free time for browsing...like now. Otherwise, I mostly spend time doing this in the evening in one window while I prep for classes in the other. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Twig Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Work is okay, but this is more interesting.

soltakss Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 What kind of poster am I? The faded sort that has seen better days, sits on a wall and used to belong to a student who has grown up and left home but his parents haven't cleared out his room yet to let it to someone else. That's what sort of poster I am. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

p_clapham Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm a college student between semesters right now. Lots of free time. When school starts next week I expect to be posting even more... given I'll have a group to game with again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmitchell Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 My programming job is actually pretty busy ... but there's always compile & deploy time, and sometimes I just can't stare at log files and code anymore.

NickMiddleton Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Massively over worked in CAD Support and the alternative to dipping in to a few online forums when I can would be a grisly office massacre. With the added bonus that my line manager works ina different office 250 miles away... Cheers, Nick Middleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiGhost Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was curious as to how, throughout a workday, this site manages to accrue so many posts. Feel free to expand on your choice in the poll above. I'm in IT systems admin so while servers are installing software, rebooting, formatting disks. etc I have plenty of time to surf. Half my job is surfing help forums and finding solutions anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Games Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Im a combat photographer in the army and when Im not at war I sit in my office and edit pictures and video or handle paperwork for my soldiers, which provides ample time to read a forum here and there. Plus, living in Germany right now, I pay way to much for internet at home to not use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kloster Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Currently on sickness (more properly wound) leave because of left arm unusable. I'm computer room manager, and when too tired installing servers (physically in addition to os) or removing them, laying power cables, connecting fibers an lan cables, tuning the UPS and cooling system, I connect to the web to see if I find way to ease my job. I use part of this small time to post. Runequestement votre, Kloster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaira Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I've left the City ratrace (was working in financial services web development in London) and now have a smallholding in rural Normandy and am slowly renovating an old battered farmhouse. I also spend a fair bit of time writing during the quiet times - and as this is a quiet time of year, here I am - quite a lot! Lambing season is right round the corner, though, and the planting season... :eek: Quote "The Worm Within" - the first novel for The Chronicles of Future Earth, coming 2013 from Chaosium, Inc.
