Who's at work at the moment?

[Anna]

I notice there are 13 people on the forum at the moment. So, out of boredom, I thought I'd create a poll to see how many of you get on the forum at work or if you wait till you get home.

[Planner]

I'm at work. I've got hb&b set as my homepage so I may appear online more often than I really am. I will be appear as logged in every time I fire up IE.
Occasionally log on at home, mostly only on weekends.

[Anna]

Homepage eh? Cool!

[drsmurto]

Both, but more at work and like Planner, i leave myself logged in so may appear to be online when i am actually out in the lab.

At work now, home later. HB&B Junkie.

I'm retired from remunerated employment, and living on my own financial resources.
Just got home from my Thursday golf.
Being retired doesn't mean there's no work. I just finished the last job from re-painting the entire inside of the house. It's been a big job, we have a 5 bedroom house. My dad had a painting business, so I know how to do it to a professional standard. Reckon I saved us somewhere around $20,000 compared with paying commercial painters to do it.

[Anna]

Well Warra, I'm not going to be too sympathetic - you DID get to play golf!

$20,000!!! Looks like I'll be painting the new house myself when it's built - if ever... (OH is about as useless at painting as he is at HBing - pretty good at drinking it though! )

BTW - I put that 3rd option in the Poll just for you!

Thanks Anna, much appreciated!

[Tipsy]

Mostly at work, so I have to keep my posts shor

You really shouldn't let him drink paint, Anna. It's not for consumption!

I'm always logged on when I'm in the office. HB&B is much more interesting than what I get paid for.

[Anna]

hahaha! I amaze myself sometimes at what I've written (and I hadn't even been drinking!).

I'm always logged on at work too - it's the only thing that keeps me from dying of boredom.

Morning tea break for me from weeding and feeding the front lawn.

[Anna]

Pizza Friday here! I'm off to grab a bit!

[earle]

At a place where I used to to work the boss was a real wine buff and would share a bottle with the other wine lovers at Friday lunch time. A few of us who preferred beer promptly formed an equivalent beer group and would take turns providing a six pack of something at Friday lunch. Helped Friday arvo slip by a bit easier as well. Anna, perhaps you could suggest pizza and beer Friday?

Earle - you must be psychic! As I grabbed my piece of pizza I said "Where's the beer?" but alas, we have a dry workplace! Just have to wait till home time.

[Planner]

Nooooo! Couldn't think of anything worse. How do they get people to frontup at work on Fridays?
Come 3pm Fridays (as long as calender is empty) one of us will do a beer run and distribute stubbies to desks to make the last 2 hours bearable.

[Anna]

You must work near a train station? We are so far out west (of Sydney) that there is no public transport for miles, which means everyone has to drive to work and consequently, OH&S issues with duty of care, blah, blah, blah....

... so short you didn't have time for the 't' ?

Train station is 200m away, but only train that leaves there, is the twice daily to melb. I could catch that, but that would mean jumping off at speed and then swimming the river to get home. Public transport in regional vic is nearly non-existent (cept for intercity).
Duty of care , I drive company car home. We don't go crazy, sip on 3 stubbies 3pm-5:30pm, 5-6min drive home.

[drsmurto]

I sometimes sneak off early and head over to the RAAF base where i can buy mixed 6 packs of James Squire, Little Creatures and White Rabbit for $15

Always beer floating around work on a Friday afternoon and often during the week too. Public servants......

I just don't go back to the lab after beers, stick to paperwork.
