    Default Why are you online?

    Noticed since ive been on holidays there are many people online during 'normal' working hours.

    I was wondering how / why people are able to be on.

    By normal working hours i assume 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday.

    I work weekends at a boring job where i do nothing... so i'm on here a fair bit for that. And I go to uni (for 3 days a week) so i have a lot of time off...

    I've got 12 contact hours a week for uni.. Of course that means I have to match every contact for at least 2 studying at home, so full time uni isn't a bludge...

    But I've usually got time in between lectures, tutes and sometimes when I'm at home to get on the forum.. Most of my posts are at night though..

    Only online weekdays during 9-5 if I am on holidays or home sick - neither of these occur very often.

    In the past 4 years at my current place of employment I have had 5 sicks days (genuine) and 3 weeks holiday so far.

    On holidays for the next 3.5 weeks, so will be popping on here if I am around.

    If i'm on during the day during the week, it means I've chucked a sicky! I only have access to the net on weekends at the moment, so I'm very bored during the week when I get home after work! Geez..what did i do before the internet was invented..oh yeah, i was a kid, so probably off playing with my barbies..hehe, maybe I should start doing that again so i don't get bored!

    Browse from work during breaks and between jobs...

    But right now I'm here because I made the mistake of sending my wife to the video shop alone and she comes back with Pride & Prejudice. I can't believe she's making me miss out on Iron Chef for that crap. Never again will she go to the video shop alone... (although maybe that's what she wanted...) Hmm. I'm confused.
