I have been wondering something since I starting TFPing. I am working at a huge accounting firm in the second city as a designer, but I literally come in to work and TFP for 9 hours. I do nothing. I didn't intend for it to be this way, which is one of the reasons I am looking for a new job, but that is beside the point.

So, I am curious, when you are on here, are you at home, at work, how long do you stay on, what time do you usually come on? You know, stuff like that.

Just curious.

I've never had a job where I have access to a computer, so I can't do it from work. I always set up my computer in my bedroom, and so that's where I TFP. As far as time goes, it's basically anytime that I'm free. Although TFP does have a bad habit of keeping me up way too late at night.

I'm almost always at work when on TFP. I work as a receptionist, so when I'm not talking on the phone I'm doing pretty much whatever on the computer.

sailor

Recently, at work. I also post a bit when I get home because I cant go to some parts of this site at work.

Mostly at work when I'm on breaks. Rarely from home as I'm usually busy when I'm at home and don't feel like using the computer since i'm on it all day at work...

Always at work right now, but I will be getting cable any day now, as soon as the install kit arrives. Once that happens I can TFP properly at home and see the whole rest of the site that I haven't seen in 8 months.

Outside of the local wifi bookstore/mall.

This could have come out of my mouth. I also am at work right now, and probably spend more time here than working. Just like you, I dont want it this way and I am looking for a new job. My boss thinks it takes me a week to do something that only takes me a couple of hours, and when I ask him what I should do next, he doesnt tell me for a week. I dont get it, too much on his mind I guess.

KellyC

at home, all the times. I just leave the comp on 24/7 and the never close the tfp window, so I'm "on" all the time.

At home, whenever I'm at the computer. (which is whenever I'm not playing ddr) Can't at work, because work is in the woods.

World's King

I'm sitting on my couch with my cock in my hand.

Why do you ask?

At home, usually after work right after I check my email and then throughout the evening whenever I find myself in front of my computer. And I'm usually half dressed cuz I live in the desert and it's freakin hot here.

westothemax

I work at a computer store. When things get slow I get on TFP. When things are slow and the boss is not around, me and the other techs order a pizza and have a mini-LAN party in the tech room. But the boss is usually around, and business is usually slow.

I also TFP when I am at home or in the computer lab avoiding my homework.

Nefir

Since my dual tag-team of bosses sits in the same room as me, one of whom sits right NEXT to me, browsing TFP while at work is pretty much impossible.

Some times I catch that magical moment when nobody's there, and I can safely browse to my heart's content. Otherwise, I have to wait till I get home, and finish all the chores.

Well, I work strange hours.

Part of the joy of running a global team (read as "US centric") with members from San Jose to Sydney to Brussells. Add to the fact that I recently moved to Perth and my days now start at between 2am and 3am every day.

I get up, get online, do my work. But I always check a few common websites first thing in the morning.

1) BBC News
2) Irish Times
3) Sydney Morning Herald
4) TFP

Then, throughout the rest of the day, either from home or the office (when I get there during the afternoon), I check TFP again; this is my "break" from routine.

Finally, when I'm bored at home and all alone, I trawl the darker side of the 'net for contents to my regular Mephisto Links on the Links board.

So, I guess the answer is "anytime, anywhere". :-)

Are you danger of loosing your job because your goofing off or you're looking for a new job where you can safely goof off?

I read here when I get the chance

Realizm

I am in my apartment usually at the desk computer. I get on in the morning and the evening and stick around for about 15 minutes.

Not sure if you were asking rd4evr, me or sailor since it seems we are all in likewise situations. But as for me. My "boss" knows I am the most knowledgeable here, get my shit done, get it done right and that is all that matters. We aren't in a dept. that goes and finds work, it comes to us, so if we don't have work coming in, well, there isn't much we can do. For a while, I actually tried to increase my design knowledge by going to tutorial sites and the like, but after months and months of that, it gets old, and you start to end up seeing the same old tuts everywhere.

absorbentishe

I spend a good portion of the day on here, and that would be working hours. I run 3 or 4 different things at once, and can TFP too! Now and then from home, only when my wife isn't on the pc.

Sargeman

Most of the time I'm on here is from work. I have more down times at work that give me the freedom to explore the web than at home.

unoaman

A little of both, but generally from work. One of the perks of having a great job, with a great little company, is that all but one of us here in the office persues their own interests on the computer, when not busy with work related things. As far as I know I'm the only TFP'er, but to each his own.

Kitenn Kaboodle

I spend my time on here from home, sitting in the basement which is basically where I live.. Bed computers and TV can't really ask for more.. Okay maybe a chef that cooks lowcarb would be a definate bonus..

TheDave87

laying in bed on my laptop generally... what can i say? im a late night tfp'er
