OK Time to 'Fess Up

I just fire my self come over here then re higher my self when I am done.

does the library/computer lab at school count?

i also have to admit to peeking during my matlab class.

Probably easier to ask who doesn't check in here while at work.

Other people go to the lunchroom for a coffee break or step outside for a smoke - I take a few minutes now and then to do a little surfing.

Can't blame you, there. I, also, spent much of my Matlab class on GRM.

I like to check out the forum on my Windows enabled Smart phone while driving ..........

I do the same thing. My coworkers go and walk around the shop and "check on an order". I sometimes am at my desk up to 11 hours.

I don't get to have a computer at work. I may be the last one with a note pad a couple No.2 pencils.

blocked... i used to be able to check in from my laptop using the companies lan line, instead of the idiot terminals. Now they've done something about that as well and I get the "unauthorized address" even on my own laptop (which i have to bring if i want to do anything productive, like cut and paste, or create a spreadsheet...) On the upside I can still check Fleabay and Craigslist at work, so there may be at least some hope for the IT nazis running the system.. I'm usually too busy actually working to be surfing anyhow, but it would be nice to be check in from work on occasion...

I have no.2 pencils, and still actually WRITE in a my planner, no palm/blackberry/pc scheduler for me!

Mofeaux waives hand.

I only access it at work.

In recurrent trax training right now... shhhh

I read it on the way to/from work (i have an 1.5 hour train ride), at lunch and periodically while working if i'm waiting for something to complete- system reboot, code compile, etc.etc.

herro from matlab (with chinese professor)

Try using the RSS from this website. That way you can read a bunch of the articles through Outlook. I dont know if it'll still work if the sites being blocked but its worth a shot. Thats one way I read GRM while at work, that and the website,... like now!

I do. Sometimes I have lots of idle time. Sometimes I'm so idle I can spend most of my time surfing for days at a time.

The IT department is like a fire department plus construction crew...if nothing's being built and nothing's on fire, we're not doing anything. And I just finished one mother of a house (investbarbados.org) so I'm idle again...at least for now, I gotta start some major work on our VoIP PBX tomorrow.

My instructor has a heavy lisp, and its boring stuff. Blegh... 80 per cent of the room is OUT.

Still a "new reader" after 14 years of subscription. Seems like a field promotion might be in order, but that's aside from the point. The Coast Guard blocked GRM, so I'm left to divide my 4 extra hours per day between my family, my beverages, my sustenance and my vehicles. GRM online doesn't make enough hay to elevate my status.

You can't tell because I'm behind 7 proxies.

I read from work. It gets lonely down here in the bunker with only my keymate to keep me company. I used to do correspondence courses. After I got my PHD in Paleontology I got bored. I'm an ordained minister but I can't hear God this far underground. So, I read GRM.

I'm hoping to make the first Challenge car powered by enriched uranium. Anyone got any oven mitts?

You can access GRM from home ?!?!? Wow, who knew!

LMAO.

I can check it from work since I work for a car company. It's related, right?

I check it from work, but then again, that's one of the things I pay myself to do. Makes up for the days when I have to unclog the toilets, or remind the staffers of what big dorks they are. Oh, wait, I enjoy that last part...

From work here to. Like others have said, in IT there are days when I don't to take a breath but there are other days I spend a lot of time here.

I dont deal with computers at work, so I can't. But my next phone will have web browsing so, um, any chance i get

If you don't browse this forum from work, then you aren't a true GRM'er! GrassRoots is all about getting the most for your money, and what better way to do that than have fun while making money!
