Inquiring minds want to know.

My wife always accuses me of goofing off all day at work. Hanging out on line with my forum friends, and doing trip research.

I keep awake by frequently dropping into this forum and checking the most recent 20 posts - not only does it keep me wake it keeps me alive and motivated to keep working so I can get the money to get to Paris ! ( the only reason keeping me motivated to be at work for me at the moment !!)

This is my blog for my parents and friends at home so that they can follow my travels.

Mostly net surfing.

:)Well mine is a very "active" job, but I have been known to fall asleep in some very strange positions and places whilst working nights!(use your imagination!) 5 30am is my "witching hour"
Now I sneak onto this forum when I can. I am trying to give it up because I will get into trouble, but it's addictive.
One thing I want to know is... how do ANY of you get any work done because you seem to be here all the time?

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
