"I work with people who are quite happy to waste the day away while the workers get on with it."

What do you think we're all doing on here?

Speak for yerself, BBW :(

I'm here slaving away all day, with a deadline, a meeting after the deadline... plus lots of unpaid stuff on a campaign...

This forum provides occasional light relief when I achieve certain things, get to particular stages.

Good point BBW. I can do both though.

maybe a few of us workers should get together and open a company we would be millioners pretty quick

I used to work really hard but now I have the forum.

I used to have a family life but now I have the forum.

I used to be a real person but now I'm just a virtual one.

[Jah Lush]

Millioners or millionaires Tiger?

"Speak for yerself, BBW. I'm here slaving away all day, with a deadline."

Same here Lou. I come on the forum when I'm not carrying out engineering reports, enforcing safety, site and contractor meeting etc...

I come on the forum for a bit of entertainment as the forum is miles better than Facebook and my site manager doesn't mind me going on it either.

my site manager doesn't mind me going on it either.

No - its only the people who are on it that mind you being on it.

I guess when you are on the forum, you are not annoying your site manager...so he's happy .:) ;-)

Maybe there's something to be said for having to do it all through a crappy iPhone after all. They think the proverbial sinshines at work... If only they knew.......

Oh well that's just charming isn't it. My site manager/agent is a northener whose much more powerfully built than me and is rock hard. I don't annoy him.

If I've got nothing to do and he can't find anything for me to do or if he's generally in a good mood he doesn't mind me pottering about on the forum. The clerk of works got caught on Facebook last week and she got bellowed at by him and she cried. I think Facebook is gash anyway.
