Just out of curiosity I want to see how many people read through this board from work. I'm a computer administrator for bank and all of it's branches. When it's not busy I like to read through anything I can for FFXI....but I'm not an addict ;)

I certainly do. My job is such that if I'm not on the road I have little to do, so when I can I spend my time here.

Exactly...

If it weren't for work, I would get absolutely NO FFXI research done.

if my boss is reading this thread, its cause I wrote it at home... or something...

I'm with scriptkeeper and SoDelirious. If it weren't for work... I'd be a lost noob instead of just a noob and if I'm posting its cause I'm probably at work. I come on the thread for 5 min when I get home to see if there are any new comments, then its ffxi till nightfall... and I am an addict. =p.

I read this board usually when im at the office and i need a break from working. Message boards are great, but they can be pretty addictive and it's real easy to waste most of a day reading them.

Of Course!!! What else is work for.

1. Get into work, get coffee
2. Make a list of things I want to do that night in FFXI
3. Do the research here :)
4. And maybe...look at my work...maybe...

Sorry, I didn't have enough room in the title to add school but this thread applies to anyone who is using the net to access this site when they probably should be doing other things ;) I'm just glad I have enough free time at work to read through most of the daily threads.

I'm really glad I'm not alone in the fact that I do my FXI research while I'm at work and right when I get home I put it to use. Of course I have to make food for myself first since I don't have a girlfriend living w/ me at the moment and my mail order bride from Thailand was sent to the wrong address!

I have had EQ on my work computer forever and just yesterday installed FFXI, when I'm here on the weekends, I'm the only one here so I play..or if the boss leaves for any reason :)

And yes I read these boards from work :)

Of course I'm at work, silly. Work is the only time I have to soak up all the FFXI on the messageboards. At home I'm playing the game.

Having my own office at work helps!! :D

Hello, my name is Aaero, and I read the message boards from "work" (work from home, computer programmer). I've been reading for about 6 months now.

Network Admin...

I have a tabbed browser open to allakhazam all day... Multiple tabbed browsers rock... and so does window/d. :)

I also have a research pc on my desk at home.. so I can surf while playing ffxi too. :)

I recently had a telemarketer call my cell phone (I dunno how they got that number). During the conversation, in the background thought I could have sworn that someone said "provoke damn you". Wonder how busy those guys were. Either that or I'm playing too much, and dearing things. =P
#23 Jan 28 2004 at 5:49 PM Rating: Decent
so I'm starting to think if this thread should have been called anyone actually read these posts at home?

Sounds like we all have one thing in common... we go to work, or our daily routine, with ffxi on the brain... research, print, think about work, read the boards, work IF and only IF no one has replied to anything worthwhile, and then go home to login. As for the making dinner... ***** that... I can always order delivery while I'm healing. =p.

I must agree with everyone i work the graveyard shift(11:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m.)Central Time and i love it. There are no supervisors or bosses here at night so i can browse these forums all night hehehe. That also means i have all day to play w/2-3 hrs sleep. Once i get bold enough im installing FFXI on my laptop and patching into the network here at work as the pc's here wont let you install, download, or change any setting. They are all controlled by the Network Admin. That gives me 6 hours of research and strategy time. The last two hours of work im rushing to get everthing done before the next shift clocks in. HAHAHAH Getting paid to read allakhazam!!!!! It doesnt get any better than that.

*highfives* I am exactly the same: Graveyard shift @ central time, 4 people in the office and nobody cares. We all surf our own things, but we still work (a little). Unfortunately I'm the only one who drags into work with 3-4 hours of sleep. Hehe. You will always find me on the forums at this time.
