I'm in a back corner of the office and nobody comes down my isle. I too was finding that I was spending too much time surfing while I was compiling code, searching through source files, etc. I had to stop cold turkey as well. No more City-Data at work for me.

I enjoy reading and posting when I'm answering emails or waiting for an attorney or lender to call me back.

I actually find alot of the information useful. Its so interesting to me to hear others perspective and to have the newbies find places to eat that I had no idea even exsisted!

As for what others are doing here instead of working...this has to be more healthy than smoking and we all know smokers take a 15 to 20 minute break each hour!!!

Yup...my husband makes fun of me....but he picked his two favorite names, ferrickhead and lizardlips.

I was not here. Guess that speaks volumes.

Haha! I am at work when I'm on the message boards...but I go on occasionally throughout the day when I need a break from work!! It's better than surfing the net all day and I get to see what's going on in the Triangle!

I now only post before and after work now as I am on a 12 step program to end my addiction to this site!

Ok, off to work now ......

Who has the best steakhouse, what is your commute and finally where is a good hair salon are also amongst the thousands of worldly important phrases that Trianglinians have on their minds today. Forget Iraq, forget the economy, I want to see pictures from Carolina Ale House Saturday evening and read about where the affluent blacks live or what is the biggest baddest gang in Raleigh/Durham (which by the way say more than a 50% decrease in homicides last year from 2005). Enjoy the rest of your evenings folks and happy posting."

And, I am retired... the best of both worlds. I can pop in here when I want to, in any topic I want to. Yep, there are some topics that have more longterm significance and greater impact on our future than some that you mention (and there are other places to discuss those)...but it's little things are the stuff of daily living, and make it more comfortable, easier, more pleasant, and saves money! Here's a lazy icon for you:

Some topics in CD I stay away from because they are true time wasters, but a couple that I follow have valuable information and are very helpful resources. To all of you in those places where I DO show up -- a big Thanks!!!

I occasionally read/post at work...as long as I have a moment or two..or 3...but considering all the smoking breaks the "smokers" take, I know, I know, justification...haha I usually eat lunch while working at my desk, so no lunch hour really...I can pop on a few times a day to see what's going on and not feel guilty about doing it.... Have a great Thursday everyone...back to work for me! haha
