The boards are dead until our little group returns home from school (TheJ, Unit, Vec, Shinobi). What else am I supposed to do all day at work? Work?

In any case, just thought that was funny.

I have had the smae problem. I am in a 10 hour time difference (Future Boy is me), and often times when I am on, they are not. Are you at work now?

I would say most of the boards experience more activity in the non-working / school hours of the U.S.

...which makes perfectly logical sense, seeing as most of us are in school.

------------------
It really sucks to have a boring sig. You know, the kind that drones on forever and never really says anything. I try my best to never have one of those. Every time I make a new sig I try to get it to be a truly outstanding sig. Some people have sigs like that. With neat (EVula) links and stuff. Witty quotes are good too. But then some people have really, really, boring sigs that you'd die before reading more of. They just go on, and on, and on...those sigs really annoy me. I mean, they say nothing and nobody really cares anyway! I pity the people who have those.

I find myself here at various times during the day but you can usually find me here from 800-1000hrs, 1500-1700hrs, and 2000-2300hrs every weekday, but only the late period during the weekends. I can, and usually do, visit both from on campus and from home but have no time to check in while at work so the early morning hours go out the window when I'm working (like today).

I'm browsing 16 hours a day on weekends, during school I can only do sporadic checks, but I live only about an hour time difference from J/dude/µ/Vec, so I come on when they do. Mostly.

Sounds efficient SA.

And yeah, I'm at work. The only place/reason that I check the boards anymore. If I actually had anything to do right now then I wouldn't be here, but, as such, I'm here.

Ah, yes, but if I got it right the first time what would I have to go back and fix, eh?

And trust me, there are worse spelling felons on the boards...

Well, I think that, well I forgot, but I just remembered. So you're all in luck. Well, If I had a job, I would work. Except in Shrout's case, I'm sure that's a different case. But, where I would work, there wouldn't be a computer involved.

Heh, did I hear someone call me lazy Posted Image

Nah, we've just had a bit of a fall out in the level of work lately. Have no fear, I shall soon be back to my normal 8 hours of daily spellchecking.

I want to get a job when I get back to California. It will be nice, because people will pay me more beause I speak Spainish. Lots of Mexicans in California.

True true - course, it depends upon where you are also. LA had plenty of need for bi-lingual folk.
