It's been 5 minutes, time to check for new posts again

So I've been doing training this past week in my work - it's a 2.5 day training course stretched over 5 days. I find myself not having very much to do, shockingly. On top of that, I work faster than everyone else in my training group - while they're still struggling through Example 1, I'm finishing up Example 3.

Thanks to this, I have been posting more on EoFF because I literally have nothing else (better) to do with my time. Basically what I'm saying is this level of activity will be gone in a few more days. How terrible for you all.


When do you find yourself posting most on EoFF? Is it during work/study times when you're sat at a computer for many hours? Or do you browse during your down time after work? Or do you just check EoFF all the time because that is your job?

every 5 minutes? that's like once a week

I have no life so often. Hopefully I can hear back from financial aid this decade and be able to start school and that will all change!

[blackmage_nuke]

Whenever I've made a post I feel was particularly clever and want to see if anyone quoted or repped me I'll check back every few minutes

I most often post here when I'm trying to avoid some sort of obligation like writing or (currently) my day job.

At my job. I am super fast at what I do. So I stretch it out because I don't want more work. So I smurf around on eoff a lot during the day to make it pass. All my other coworkers are slow as smurf so they don't question my perceived slowness.

Or do you just check EoFF all the time because that is your job?

EoFF IS LIFE!

Just kidding. I usually have an EoFF tab open when I'm on my laptop, and i tend to refresh the page every half-hour just to check if there's been any new posts. If I'm in a conversation with some-one, that refreshing rate increases drastically. Mafia is the worst. The last Mafia game I played here took up so much of my time

Depends on my motivation to post. Which is basically all of the time.

I don't have the ability to check in during work, so it's generally when I get home & on the weekends.

[Shiny]

Definitely during my commute and during restroom visits.

[Sephex]

Random times at home. Mostly during breaks at work. On my phone if no computer is available if I am really bored or whatever. I really wish there was an app, though I know that's not going to happen.

[Shauna]

during restroom visits.

Ah, of course. How could I forget the most regal of places to check EoFF?

[FFNut]

I check every 20 mins or so, I enjoy your guys thoughts for some strange reason and it just pulls me in.

[DarkMatta]

Long periods in my jobs where I am not needed to help people fix computer issues, so I spending the time reading mostly. Since I joined up and started commenting here, I've been spending my idle time here.

I don't have much downtime so once every few days on average.
