Default How Do You Spend Your Days On CAF?

I noticed that some of us are at work while here on CAF and others are at home. I'm just curious how many are at home and how many have such demanding jobs that we find time to hang out here AND get paid for it.
I do this at work, since I work full-time, and I'm glad I can because most days my job is REALLY boring.

Both home and work.

Being a geek, I spend most of the day in front of a computer anyway. I do lots of testing and when things are running many times I need to wait for long periods before I get results.

So I come here

i work from home and in my studio, i have a Mac playing iTunes - every few hours i make my way over here, find some new music and check CAF and then get back to work... CAF is a nice diversion, nice people, mods keep it nice and civil... and once in a while i see a thread that begs an answer... it's a nice all around diversion during the day. keeps my mind fresh.

I'm homeschooled, so I can get on in-between class periods.

I'm at home with just me and 4 cats while my dh works all day. My only diversion is housework and my own poor attempts at being a writer. I spend way too much time here--it's addictive, at least for me it is.

On the up side, responding to questions has sharpened my writing skills and my mind. I find myself analyzing situations in my own life more carefully, too.

Now I just have to get back to my creative writing. If I only get a sentence a day done, at least I'll be honing my craft, and eventually get my current project done.

I will pay brief visits during the day at work. I really have to watch it though, because if I'm not careful, the 5 minuts I planned on spending here turns int 20 or 30 very easily! I can get lost in "CAF" land.

You don't have to worry about crowded hallways.

But you don't have excuses for being tardy either.

Work here... But home too. Since I administer a network... well I guess I'll just consider it a perk of the job.

Well, if you have any sick days, does your mom write a note to herself?

Never at work. Only when I am at home. Though I may be working at home.
