Why do I hang at TalkBass while at work?

I'm guilty of the same thing, too. But trust me, they do have the means to find out where you're going on the net.

I now work at the school library. so once I stock the shelves and sort crap out, they told me,
"You're free to use MSN or whatever you want."
I sit at the front desk, so when people come, I open the program, scan the books and I'm back on talkbass!
Damn you Paul and your addicting forum!

I open TB when I get in each morning, and I pop in and out all day long. A quick peek and I'm back to business .....

def not man. Talkbass is one of the few awesome things on the internet not NSFW ; )
I'm here more than I should be. In fact I probably spend more time online here at work then I do playing my bass at home in the evenings.
Sad it is.
Sad it is.
...and that's why we work so hard to keep it that way.lamborghini98 said:

I am at a computer all day so would jump on for an hour a day.
Now that i got my wireless card working, i can evade the network police weehoo

Feel no guilt. But it's obvious, there are few chat places worthy of hangin' out. TalkBass is one of them.bassguppy said:My workplace has no specific policy regarding web surfing at work and no method to track web use. I get my work done, but could probably do more but I find myself lurking on TalkBass probably 1-2 hours a day.
Should I feel guilty?
I've had the habit lately of going into the computer room at work and checking my mail and of course I'll check out subscribed threads, but it's rather rare.
This is the only forum I hang out on. I used to visit drum forums, but you know how it is hanging around a bunch of drummers

Yeah, they do. Well, unless you work for some small office with a couple employees, and no IT department.

My company does have a policy on internet use - but it allows "hobby" sites and "personal learning" - which to me covers TB!!
.... when I started out - maybe 6- 8 years ago, I felt guilty - but now - well if I've been doing it that long....

Yup - I've often mentioned that the typical TB member is somebody who works on a PC all day and also has an interest in bass playing!
Of course there are a few exceptions, who are actually full-time bass players/musicians - but I think the bulk of the regulars are PC drones...
