They monitor internet usage where I work, so the only thing I do is check my email. Once in a while I pop on here first thing in the morning if there's a PM for me, but other than that, I have to wait until I get home to get my TCS fix!

Lets see. . . We have an ancient modem and a slow dial-up connection at work. You'd go crazy trying to goof off on the internet with that machine!

My job doesn't entail using the internet-I don't work in an office, but I have been known to sneak on the computer back in the shipping department to do quick little things now & then. Like printing things up there to save my own ink at home..

This is interesting . . . .

How would it be if we all listed the type of work we do, and if it wouldn't be giving up too much privacy, the name of the company you work for.

I'll start by saying that I am retired, so my "official" working days are over, but when I did work, the substantive chunk of my career was at The University Of Tennessee, approximately 30 years carrying a tool kit as an office machine mechanic, which segued into 'puters, etc, and the last 6 years before retirement as a Buyer in the Purchasing Department, buying mostly electronic and mechanical type stuff, but occasionally doing the odd purchase of some other category when the buyer for that genre was out for whatever reason.

Why?, so an e-mail could be sent to the company Director informing him of whats going on?!

I don't have access to the Internet at work. If I did I'm sure I would goof off on the net. However, I do watch DVD's at work. I have a little portable DVD player that I keep at work, and I watch movies every night. So, I do goof off at work, just not on the internet.

I'm a stay at home Mommy!!
So, well I guess you can say that sometimes I do instead of cleaning the house.
You know what I mean?

The company where I am being made redundant from is actually an internet company...
So when I was at work I used to piss about for some part of the day, but still managed to get my work done!

Don't think I will be able to use the net as much when I get a new job though... but I will still have it at home

I use the internet a lot at work, sometimes when I have no work to do, and sometimes when I just can't be bothered to do any work


You have more chance of seeing a pig fly than me giving the name of my company though

I can't. I'm a waitress so it was completely pointless to even respond! I'm having a silly day

I used to just a little, but then I found out that our computers are tracked.....no more goofing off! I do check my personal e-mail on occasion still but no visiting TCS unfortunately!

I don't often at work, occasionally I will be on here during working hours but I'm usually to busy and I'm not sure they would appreciate it to much.
I mainly come on line in the evenings, or whenever I possibly can. I would imagine it would be nice to be on here all the time from a job. That would be great!
