Does school count? I spend about half of some classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday reading. Usually "C".

I have a tendency to key out three or four things and then let them battle for supremacy while I key, so there's a lot of backspacing as potential statements are slaughtered and eaten by the victors. ~ Magna Centipede

LOL! funny you should post this... I was curious myself and just yesterday installed this plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1887/
Doesn't measure per-site, but does track how long you've been web-browsing.

Re: Hours playing hooky looking at TG?
It depends. Some days I'm so swamped I don't even have the time to look into IRC. Other days there's nothing to do.
Most days though, I'm given something to do and a time frame. So basically, if I get a 4 hour job done in an hour, I bill my 4 hours and can do whatever I want. There's always work to do, but it's slow most days because I just work fast. I'll hang around till 5pm in case my boss has anything come up that needs to get done.
I usually have my entire day billed out before lunch. So, I'm not costing my boss anything by hanging around and cruising the Internet.

Re: Hours playing hooky looking at TG?
Woot! I'm a slacker! That'll explain why I don't get anywhere near enough gaming in.

Re: Hours playing hooky looking at TG?
Hmmm.. seems like I'll go weeks with doing little on the server then do the complete opposite for weeks... recently I've been doing a lot more forum browsing on here though.

Re: Hours playing hooky looking at TG?
If im not at football practice then im in school, if im not in school im at a football game, if im not at a football game im at work and if im not at work im at kingdom hall; every other second of spare time is at my pc or at the gym.
After a hard long day on the battlefield, you just wanna play some ball but some idiot wont let you because he has an explosive bag of pitchers' powder....

Re: Hours playing hooky looking at TG?
Pff, it's blocked. So I work from home sometimes. It's funny, I actually get more done when I am distracted by TG than when I am distracted by my co-workers. Oh look, a bird...

Re: Hours playing hooky looking at TG?
Is this per day or week
. I spend easily an hour or more on the forums each day. In school I recently put into play a devious plan against the pesky WatchGuard proxy, but they don't have TG blocked, so I don't really need it. I used to spend my Web classes on TG, but then the non-HTML literate kids caught up and I have to do work

Re: Hours playing hooky looking at TG?
I don't smoke anymore so I spend my 10 min breaks at work getting my TG fix. I've been known to spend a lunch hour reading the forums at least once a week when I'm too broke or lazy to make run to taco bell or burger king for a quick bite. My real quality time with TG happens right before I hit the sack at night after a few hours of R6V, BF2-POE2, and/or Oblivion. You're my lullaby TG...zzzzzzzzzzzzz
