I'm working. Razz emoticon

I usually log in for a second between projects or if I'm waiting on a particularly large render.

Or sometimes, I just say screw it and waste the day on the internet.

Shhhhhhhh I only look while I am eating my lunch or snack at my desk. I have to do something while I chew and swallow. Sometimes I can do work, but mostly it is hard to eat and think deeply.

I was at work but now it's after 5 in the Eastern Time Zone. Razz emoticon

I do check MV while I'm at work though. Mostly at lunch, breaks or while I'm waiting for a report to run.

I'm a web developer. I surf MV for err... research. Yes that's right, research. Research on err... usability, yes usability.

Right, time to go peruse other "research materials"... oohh, what's this document about 4T vs 2T? Fascinating...

I make the patient wait a moment until I finish typing. Usually am waiting for my medical assistant to finish the vitals. I complain about all the charts to sign and they get mad at me while I am on MV. I'm trying to get out of the office to go home now and guess what I'm doing...

I'm ALWAYS at work... Okay, maybe not always, but my average day is about 15 hours, so it's practically all the time. And, yes, I'm still at work. Probably til midnight or so. Kinda cuts into my social time, but it is the career that I chose...

I work tech support for carwashes.
I browse between calls. Never, ever, ever while on a call. (Not even if their screen shots tell a different story).

I most likely confuse Jess with all the different IP's I log in from. If I am working on a server, I usually have a window open with Modern Vespa on it. So I can be logged in from a few thousand different IP's we have.
We have a BT connection and it used to show me logged in from the UK or EU, forget which. I figured this out when I was trying to download a movie and it said it could not down load outside the US. Think that has been fixed. I got the funniest look from the CTO when I told him how I found this out. Told him I was downloading at work and watching at home. He just laughed and said, sure, with a lot of sarcasm in his voice Laughing emoticon Laughing emoticon
