How much time do you spend on HBT at work

[DeathBrewer]

i'm getting paid overtime right now to talk on HBT. i think it's time for me to get to work so i can get out of here sometime today

 

[The Beer Baron]

...kind of surprised I'm not fired for it yet to tell you the truth. Anytime a producer walks into my edit bay, I'm on HBT.

Well it's nice to know we are the unproductive bunch the rest of the world thinks we are

You're right, we should be like those European countries with 6 weeks of vacation per year.

Everything in moderation.

Those European's aren't the ones that hate us and think we're lazy slobs.

Heh, the voting is almost exactly even, all 13 counts and one 14. I have very VERY little to do at work, so I usually spend about 6 to 7 hours a night on HBT.

Seriously.

I have to work while at work so I did not vote, as there is not a never choice

I'm no math genius, but I think the 0-1 would cover that.

I'm no math genius, but I think the 0-1 would cover that.

I am a math genius and I'd argue that 0-1 means between 0 and 1 hours, thus not including 0 or 1. I feel for the peeps who can't have a nice cup of coffee and be on the internet all day. I too would've chosen never if it was up there. There is absolutely no way for me to be on the internet while at work.

I'm off today nyah nyah....and on hbt...(gee my life really IS pathetic)

It would be better if I could figure out what I want to brew today....

And to decide whether or not to go to the outhouse races at the bologna festival...

(told you, pathetic)

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I'm on quite a bit sometimes, but only when I'm not exceptionally busy.

 

[NWernBrewer]

Most of the time I am on here is at work. I am glad that I am not the only one...

 

[Empty_One]

Well, I'm new to all of this, so I am still in the 'gather as much information as possible' mode, so I'd have to say about an average of 6 hours while at work, with about 10 tabs carried over from the previous day.

 

[Edcculus]

I'm an intern, and they don't give me much work to do. Lets just say I've been in beer shcool all summer.

 

[findthefish]

I haven't had any actual work to do here in a few weeks. Pretty boring, but thank science for HBT.

 

[JacobInIndy]

I'm a news photographer for a TV station here in town. Whenever there's nothing for me to shoot, I'm on here. Roughly 2-4 hours a day.

 

[farmbrewernw]

I'm starting to not feel as bad about my time spent on here during work.

 

[Chriso]

(I love working for a university! They give me superfast computers and "academic freedom!")

You too?! Me too!! Love my Mac Pro.

 

[McKBrew]

I consider HBT my second (non-paying) job. I feel more of a sense of accomplishment helping a person out, stopping spam via the report post button, and nailing those pesky kids who lie about their age. Tx, I'm serious, show me the money!!!!

 

[BierMuncher]

I'm still just feeling my way around here so probably no more than 10-15 minutes a week...

 

[Turkeyfoot Jr.]

I have an IE window open all day with tabs set to HBT, a fire fighter message board and my home email. I check here AT LEAST 2-3 times an hour. Shh... Don't tell my boss.

[MikeFlynn74]

Im damn good at my job, so a lot- Maybe 3-4hrs a day.

Maybe you should go back to grade shcool w/ these guys first and learn to spell.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

 

[bama]

None.

Our internet is monitored/blocked. They also send back weekly usage statistics to you and your boss detailing the URL of each site visited and how many hits you had on it- its embarrassing.

 

[juvinious]

It's good working for a university, being the main web developer for the law school here, I spend more of my time looking for projects to do, reading HBT and talking on IRC than actual web work. I have over 22 tabs open spread across 2 browser windows, I forget sometimes what I have open.
