OK Time to 'Fess Up

ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!

This, and 2 local forums, 2 hyundai forums, a Full size truck forum and a Swift forum....

I am supposed to be studying for my Business 4750 Final...last class of my last semester, somehow my heart just isn't in it.

I can tell you traffic is about 20% lower on weekends.

As the official Content Manager of AutoTraderClassics.com, I can honestly say that visiting this site is part of my job. I am required to keep up to date on the pulse of the automotive world. This includes reading magazines at work (we have a circulation set up internally), reading auto news blogs, going to car shows, being active in car clubs, and even visiting forums. So I actually get PAID to post this, so I don't feel so bad.

Of course.

Probably because people are usually out doing what they can only read about during the week. Wrenchin' and racin' and car shows and etc. Then they talk about it all week during lulls at work.

Does this revelation qualify me as a social scientist?

It's what gets me through the day.

Yup, around 20%. But I've found similar numbers on pretty much every site I've ever tracked (and I've tracked a LOT of sites).

A lot of folks are surfing at work, but remember, there are also a lot of folks who are busy doing stuff on the weekend instead of sitting at a computer.

Just guessing, but about the only sites I can think of that are likely to get more traffic on weekends are sites devoted to televised athletics. ESPN, for example, may see big spikes in traffic over the weekend as people watch games. But that's pure speculation.

I work from a home office. This is my "break room/water cooler social interaction".

Other than the local autox forum, this is the only place I hang out on the interweb.

True That ^

unfortunately I feel this may get me in trouble when in the real world...

I AM!! IM PAID TO DO IT!! this and vw vortex...

I'm at work right now. I work in auto parts, so I occasionally (thought very rarely) pimp out my place of employment here, so it's kinda work related. That's a pretty big stretch though.

Me.

I come to work to rest up from a hard day of being off.

Slefain should email me about advertising in our magazine or some sort of cross promotion. Or at least give me the name of the person I need to talk with about some sort of partnership.

raises hand

I may be an internet addict.

I'm unemployed so uh, no, not from work.

Yes. But I'm self employed, so I'm only wasting my own time.

I am. I would have found a new job yeas ago if I didn't get to spend 2-3 hours a day surfing car forums.

I did until I changed my schedule to days. On the night shift, I used my Blackberry, and did lots of reading, but not much posting.

I'm waiting for code to compile or download... honest.

I've got an assembly open in SolidWorks and the bracket should be..."different". This is "clearing my mind" so the idea will cogitate. I had an idea a couple years ago that saves literally millions and millions of dollars, so I guess they put up with this in speculation.

I do. I stare at a computer for 8 hours straight for my job. I've got nothing but time to burn.

I do contract/freelance/project work and sometimes I will surf the net at the hotel while waiting for the guys to come down. Other than that, it's more of on my days off since i'm usually on the road and out in the field when i'm working..

Why do you ask? You haven't been talking to my boss, have you?
