I usually view this forum in the early evenings. During this time there are quite a few others viewing also. In clock time, you are 6 hours behind me but a day ahead.
So the question is, how are you able to view the forum during the mid afternoon? It seems that your employers are rather easy going regarding your Internet activities. Every now and then the readers on the evening news will note that some poor fool was fired for browsing the Internet while at work.
rrich,
it's all those bludgers that work in IT and can pretend to work whilst they skive off to the forums!:eek: ;)
Mick who pays himself so skiving off is okay as long as all the bills still get paid:rolleyes:
Its easy, Rich, you see I am the boss :D :D :D :D :D :DQuote:

Bob,
You're doing it hard- I got mine down to 5 -- an hour a days enuff, I think.
Who works weekends ?????:confused: :confused:
Albert
And some of us are retired, and browse during coffee break time from the shed, or have a puter in the shed. :D
I'm a stay at home dad so I can often log on during the day when the kids aren't being too demanding.
my employer allows us to have un-limited internet access during our work hours. The only stipulations are: all work is to be completed and all issues delt with, and we can not log on to www.nakedcathoilcschoolgirls.com (no it is NOT a real site, just for those who may be tempted to look) and sites of that kind.
Initally they said NO , untill I pointed out that THIS was my favourite site:p
Self employment has a lot going fot it. :)
Including the ability to have a quick browse when a few free minutes present themselves. A smoke, a cuppa and a modem. What better way to spend a smoko?
Ah yes, I'm becoming fond of the 7 day weekend.:rolleyes:Quote:

I have an extra excuse...
Different time zone. ;)
Of course being self employed helps, and running a computer help desk, where sometimes you just have to look at the screen and wait for the phone to ring helps too. ;)
Cheers

I'm a home dad about 2 days a week, so the same with me. But often, I get on to read a post and have to take off again before I can answer.Quote:

I don't feel that I have a need to justify my online time when I'm at work.
Internet access is a fundamental necessity of my job.
So the fact that I keep a U-Beaut tab open in the browser is neither here nor there.
Rest assured, if my employer thought it was a problem they'd block my access. :rolleyes:
Mind you, I'm not about to try and access a site or something equally dodgy when I'm at work.
In fact, when members post links to risque sites, I'll wait 'till I get home before I'll think about having a look.
Which is another good reason not to post them, (I cant beleive I just said that).Quote:

Keeping up to date in the world of tools and best practices IS my job.
OH Bliss :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I sell woodworking machinery so it is my duty to spend time on this forum to keep in touch with my potential customers. https://www.ubeaut.biz/wanker.gif
I would never log on here for fun or to post flippant comments. Honest....:rolleyes:
My Boss is a good bloke, ie. MEEEE, he lets me do as I like.:)
I only work a 3 day week
Yesterday - Today - Tomorrow
The pay and the holidays are lousy but I worked for 39 years to get to this level. :D:D
Regards,
Bob
All of you are treated rather well. At the company where I worked, they fired a lady for doing her holiday shopping on the Internet during her lunch hour. About a month later they walked her boss out the door for an "Unspecified" reason. I know the lady sued the company, collected, came back for one day (to collect) and then moved out of the area.
I work for Triton/GMC and it is very handy to watch this site and get information from the end user. It is fantastic feedback!!
Eagle:)
That's called an early knock-off. :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

One that always works is... GET THE FIG OFF THE RUDDY COMPUTER... seems to work a treat :cool: ;)

Flippant comments will remain free (plus postage and handling).

In my last role, and no, I left of my accord, the boss had a very strict restricted material policy. As he explained it to me: if you found anything 'any good', you had to show him first.Quote:

Due to my remarkable trusting nature, I shall just keep a tally of all the flippant comments I make, and then post the invoice just before I retire. Settlement would then be appreciated as quickly as possible.:cool:
:D first part is right, but what's that crap about pretending to work? That would take too much effort!Quote:

Bloody hell, Caliban! The fact that you've got a busted leg doesn't give you the right to break my brain!Quote:

PRICE LIST FOR FLIPPANT COMMENTS FROM FELDER
* Brand new Genuine Felder Flippant Comments, manufactured in Austr(al)ia - $5
* Trade-in your Flippant Comment to purchase a new Felder Flippant Comment for only $3!
* Purchase a second hand Flippant Comment of dubious quality ( :p ) - $3
* Trade-in your Flippant Comment for a second hand Flippant Comment - $1.
Prices include GST, but not postage and handling. Special offer - purchase five or more new Flippant Comments or ten or more second hand Flippant Comments to receive FREE postage and handling!
Any questions? :cool:
How do we pay ????????
Do you take rubba checks, or maybe goods in leiu ?
I know this really pretty little bridge in Sydney, sand stone towers at each end with an absolutely stunning view of the harbour.
