Just curious to see how many DU'ers are at work right now, or visit DU

[stop the bleeding]

while at work on a regular basis.

I ask this because I am at work right now and half of my day is spent here and the other half is spent at work.

I have seen other people who spend an equal or more amount of time here compared to me and they also mention that they are working as well.

So if your at work right now - here is your chance to check in and see who else is in the same boat as you.



on edit:

BTW I leave the DU page up and running all day, my job requires me to be on multiple internet pages all day long, so there is no tracking my computer.


Also on edit looking at the repsonses it is hard to believe that there is any work getting done - even though we all manage to do both (DU and work) that is.


Lastly I'm telling your bosses!!!:evilgrin::toast::yoiks:

[MadisonProgressive]

1. I'm at work - hardly workin'

[skylarmae]

2. and you feel free to talk openly about this - ??? n/t

[Fredda Weinberg]

3. Shouldn't say where I work, but nobody here minds ...

It's kinda sensitive - and my connection knocked out for a while when I posted about the middle east - but these 1st responders are politically savvy.

[foreverdem]

4. I'm at work

I check in a few times a day, more so at lunchtime.

[TheFarseer]

5. I'm usually only here at lunch

but on slow days. . . . . . . .

[RebelOne]

6. I'm at work and usually on DU half the time.

Somehow I manage to get my work done.

[ecstatic]

7. working from home. hope you guys are covering your tracks!! nt

[stepnw1f]

8. working.... (nt)

[cal04]

9. I'm at work and usually check in

the morning and lunch time

[Arkansas Granny]

10. I'm at work, but manage to check in from time to time.

[Ikonoklast]

11. Well, I guess technically I'm at work

I drive my own truck for a living and look for freight on internet load boards, hence the laptop and wireless card. Right now I'm in Virginia waiting for my trailer to be unloaded at a Target DC. Dropped it off at noon and their schedule calls for an eleven hour unload time.
Suits me as I get $50 an hour detention pay after the first two hours. I hope they take all night.
So, I guess that I am at work as I am getting paid right now.

[schmuls]

12. Yes, I'm at work and DU is the first thing I look at in the am and

the last thing I look at before I leave. Don't know how I survived this boring job before I found out about it! Have learned so much about how things really are since tuning in!!!

[FSogol]

13. It's hard werk. I'm werk'n hard. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. I gave up the bad habit of working when I retired.

The happiest day of my life.

[Debi]

15. I'm at work, but married to the boss.

What I don't get done during the day ,because I'm on DU , I have to take home and get done at night. (He's just as bad, though with the sports web sites, so we do a lot of dinner-table work each evening).

[LincolnMcGrath]

24. You ready for the caucus yet?

[Debi]

37. Just found out that some of our counties caucus packets are on their

way to Pittsburgh! :wow: Well, Gov. Vilsack is from there and he's a Steelers fan :shrug:

Things should be fine by the 16th. Have you heard of anyone in Clinton Co. that's planning on breaking into preference groups? I'm just so nosy about this because it seems so unreal in an off-year caucus. Are you a precinct captain?

[LincolnMcGrath]

42. Our packets are made, waiting for pick up.

I believe we will be following the state caucus platform, with groups and candidates. We will e choosing delegates to the county convention as well.

[Debi]

43. Yep, that's standard. Just at our caucus training we were told

that there had been talk about breaking into preference groups (either for Congressional candidate or Gubernatorial candidate). News to my ears as that's never happened at an off-year caucus that I know of. Then this article ended up in the W/CF Courier:

http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2006/01/08/columnists/eby/e3dae6033d4c3031862570ee00719401.txt

and I realize that Fallon is organizing w/his supporters to try and get as many delegates to County/District/State convention as possible.

WOW! Should be interesting.

Did David Overby/Denny Heath get nomination papers in to be distributed w/the packets?

[LincolnMcGrath]

47. I will let you know tomorrow about Heath/Overby.

Thanks for the article.

We have been discussing the 35% deal for some time now. I am not sure everyone here is up to snuff on how that all works.

[RubyDuby in GA]

16. I'm at work and this is where I get my best DU work done

:)

[ellenfl]

17. lunch break! otherwise . . . workin' hard! eom

[LSK]

18. im at work - mozilla tabs rule!

[Touchdown]

19. Ayo!

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

20. I've been ungainfully employed, trying to make ends meet

(and failing) for about eighteen months now and for 3 of the past five years, so work is not a problem.

If DUers are spending half their time working, they are doing better than most.

[stop the bleeding]

25. that is not cool at all - I wish you good luck with finding a good job.

O8)- I will keep you in the back of my thoughts.

[leftofthedial]

41. think you!

I'm irrationally optimistic right now for some reason.

I figure I can still make it to about March before I leave behind everything I owned and move into my car.

[MercutioATC]

21. It's hard to fit a monitor next to my radar scope...

:)

I only visit DU from home.

[LincolnMcGrath]

22. Get back to work Slackers!

:)

[bluethruandthru]

23. I'm at work but I'm good at multi-tasking!

I usually keep DU up all day but can only check it once in awhile. Besides, part of my job is to be informed about what's going on in the world...so, technically...this is "work"

[Kazak]

26. At work here!

And I remain amazed that the winger managers here allow me to be here as much as I am, or at all.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

27. I'm at work! eom.

[CAcyclist]

28. I'm the boss, so I can come over here anytime

Well, actually, my clients are the bosses - but we are super slow today.

[QuettaKid]

29. work? nt.

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[RufusEarl]

30. I work for myself, so yea I'm at work.

[stanwyck]

31. At work. This keeps me sane

I'd be lost without you guys.

[Misskittycat]

32. I work from home; visit DU regularly. n/t

[Flirtus]

33. I'm at work, better connection here than at home

The boss loves the news updates I get from DU. We haven't been that busy since 9/11/01, so it's great that I can break the tedium most of the day.

[Armstead]

34. I work at home for myself so I have to chew myself out

I have a home office and I bounce back and forth betwenn what I'm supposed to be doing and visiting DU. The ratio depends on what's happening in the nooze, and on how much under the gun I am on particular work projects.

I also have a TV in my home office, and a broadband connection with streaming or podcasts.

So I have a lot of distractions, and have to chew myself out when I let myelf get too distracted.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

35. It's a slow day today

and I've visited here more than I usually do. One of my duties is to answer phones, and when the phones are dead and I have my other duties done, I come here. Beats playing solitaire.

[Capn Sunshine]

36. I'm at work as well- but I'm in charge.

All that aside, my observation of mine, and other office operations is that about two hours of real work gets accomplished daily; the rest of the time is spent frittering around in various ways, DU being one of them.

[Blue_In_AK]

38. I'm not working today

but I usually am -- however, I work at home, so there's nobody looking over my shoulders, and I always make my self-imposed quota. Discipline is my middle name. :rofl:

[StellaBlue]

39. I'm on my lunch break

I would probably get fired, and certainly blacklisted, if I visited this site at work.

I also would not play on the internet at work, anyway.

As it is, I am bored 75% of the time at my job. Literally staring across a room, tapping my fingers on the counter.

[meganmonkey]

40. Um - I though we were all sitting in our underwear

in our parents' basement?

Am I on the wrong site? :P

Yeah, I am a M-F 9-5 working gal. But I work through lunch and don't take any real breaks, so I pop in here for a couple minutes here and there throughout the day. I work my ass off as a general rule so it balances out well. And on the days when it is really slow here (which doesn't happen much), I post quite a lot.

[jeanarrett]

44. I'm at work and my boss is a Republican!!!!!!!!!!!

[edbermac]

45. I'm at work, during breaks I visit all the political sights...

Else I'd be checking out all the porn sites except for that damn Content Filter...:grr:

[stop the bleeding]

46. then there would be no work getting done. LOL

:evilgrin:

[edbermac]

48. Yeah, it's kinda hard typing with one hand...

[stop the bleeding]

50. you just need more practice

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[bigwillq]

49. I post a lot from work!

I love being paid to DU!! :bounce:

[Nikita]

51. get your back up

http://www.dailyrecord.com/blogs/dbenko/

[newyawker99]

55. Hi Nikita!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[stop the bleeding]

56. Welcome to DU Nikita!

:toast:

[Straight Shooter]

52. I'm "sort of " at work; waiting for an assignment to come in.

But, yes, I also toggle between working and DU'ing. It's especially difficult when there is a major deadline and yet something even more important is happening in the world.

And you can't tell my boss, because I am the boss! :7

[zippy890]

53. I'm working overtime

BLAGGH

but its nice to check in with my DU buddies so I can keep SANE

:toast:

[liberalitch]

54. I'm a teacher. During the day I may get on during my planning bell...

I do my planning at home.
Sometimes at lunch..... Right now I'm in a GED classroom watching kids pretest....
They don't need me..... I'm just the warm body right now.
