| Admit it, you post on this website during work...
This whole forum seems much more acive during the weekdays, especially in the middle of the day. Admit it, you use work time to read and post on fencing.net | 
|  | | And now for this message... |

| I do not! I never post here while I'm getting paid. Though I often post on it from school.

| I can't. The cash registers dont' have internet access.  And I can't find a decent access point using my PSP.

Self-employed or not, you'd still be technically posting during work. That is if you happen to post during work hours.

| I guess my reply can be found in many of my journals.
I certainly do read and post while at work. It's for me a short break to regain concentration and to make sure my anger doesn't get to a level that I start kicking something.......
So basically, my employer should financially support this site since it prevents me from destroying inventory.

Personally, I went with the farmer option, because it's closest to my situation. I don't have my computer during classes, and while I often use this site to procrastinate on doing my homework, that's not really "work." When I do work in the summer, it's at Girl Scout Camp, so the farmer option is almost like being in the woods with a bunch of little girls. | |

I've been doing that for the past 6 years. What a job. And yeah, no internet access.
My job here is in the Seaport. Not so much with the internet access either.
I do access this site to procrastinate when I should be doing schoolwork (like that history essay due tomorrow that I haven't started). Does that count?

| No, it's reversed. I'm working when I should be thinking about and practicing fencing!

I don't go on much during school, though, because my friends get mad when I ignore them to go on the fencing forum. | |

| Usually I post in the middle of the night-insomnia. But, once in a while, when a patient comes in late I jack one of the secretary's computers-and check my boring email first before I hop into the forum- then the filter shuts down th computer. Frustrating!

| I post when I'm procrastinating. I really should be doing my english essay comparing the wifes in the short story "rope"and the "story or an hour". But here i am. Back from being gone for over 6 months.

| No denying it. This moderation I do here is my distraction from work. In fact I don't normally read the forum outside of work (unless someone reports something). | |
