its a constant danger at work to be discovered doing this, but as a temp with only a few weeks left to work i really dont care all that much. it seems like a scurge to employers to let people have internet access, not that i am complaining. at anyone one time i can scan my eyes accross the office and see at least 8 out of 12 people looking on the internet here.

Well you see...

I'm a one-person office, so unfortunately if I get caught, I can't point to my cubicle neighbor and whine, "Well SHE'S doing it too!"

My job situation/set-up is a bit strange. I work for a municipality, which has a few buildings that it operates out of. So, as it happens, because there was room there, I work out of the fire station.

Everyone there is very friendly and social (I wish they'd share their drugs with me), so people are walking in and out of my office all day long (even when the door is closed) just to 'chat.' Which I really don't mind, as I start to get a bit weird when I'm on my own all day long, but I DO mind when I'm sneaking onto this forum and the door flies open, leaving me no time to conceal my infractious behavior.

Have you tried setting up some kind of elaborate Scooby Doo-like warning system? You could build it out of bits of old, discared fire service equipment.

That's an excellent idea, but what if they confuse the warnings for actual fire alarms? Then they'll all be running amok, miss the real fires, and I could be single-handedly responsible for the flaming destruction of an entire city.

Every plan has it's downsides.

;)

thats a pretty big one.

perhaps some kind of mirror system could be put in place. if you get asked then you could just say you are arranging the office. actually thats a shit idea, forget i ever said anything.

its funny as well because when people do expect me to work here i get kinda pissed off with them as they cant see that i have more important things to do, like being on here.

SHIT!!!!!! I came on the board while I had some food boiling in a pan, just to see what's been going on overnight, forgot all about the food on the stove, and it's completely boiled dry. The pan's been burned to death. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Stupid addictive board!

I can take it or leave it.

wow, you've been digging deep.

how do your fingernails look?

And thank you Pookie, for that long-awaited, monumental contribution.

It took some thinking about.
