Since I found out about this forum I think I've become a bit of an addict. Whenever I get some time during lunchtime at work, I login and have a read through what's going on within the E60 Forum.
What I want to know is how some of you guys are able to find the time for the volume of posts that you seem to have on the site? Am I in the wrong job or ???
If any of you posting addicts can give me some pointers in how to find more time for the forum, I'd be grateful. (Or get me a job working with one of you!)
I've tried to spend more time on the forum at home, but either the kids are surfin the net and playing games, or the missus is getting me to do jobs around the house.
I need help (or therapy) I think!

32 posts and you think you've become an addict? ALLREADY? 
Well, if there'S somone who really needs therapy... it's me...
Anyways, owning a company I don't have a Boss that complains when I am surfing the net. But most of the time I am online in the evening hours and at night, since I am not sleeping much and stay up half of the night. Bad TV programm at night makes you surfing the net. Most of my posts are made in between 8pm and 2am (GMT+1), that's the main time I am online.
But as you can see on this post, there's allways some time you can use in the office... if you're the Boss...

My boss is away today, so I have one screen set to "work mode" and the other (smaller and less noticeable) screen with the forum active.
I think it's probably too late for you to get any help at this late stage, but maybe I can save myself before I become a true addict like you?

Hey Iceman, can I come work for you? No penalties or warnings if I'm on the E60 site? 
I've become and addict myself. Although I might not have as much opinions and posts as a lot of the people in this forum, I still enjoy logging in and reading people's opinion. I must admit I do peek at the site when I'm at work, but I don't leave it on for more than 5 minutes, our IT people might tell on me <_< . I do most of my viewing at night, I have no kids and a wife that understands
.
Don't worry....you're not alone

Posting and reading this forum is good for you and your job too. It keeps you sharp. You just breeze through work so you can get back to see what's new on the forum. Your boss should appreciate that. So, don't try to get over it, just get with it.

I never thought about it like that. I'll give it a try on my boss when he's back next Monday and see if he gives me the thumbs up or just a P45.

My internet use is closely monitored and 90% of the forums on the web are usually blocked from view as "expressly forbidden as sexually explicit or entertainment material? That?s at home, now at work?.
No, no I have that wrong.. it?s the other way around.
Anyway, when I fall out of my cube laughing from somrthing I've seen in the "Lounge", I simply tell my boss how much better I am feeling and he should be happy I am not feeling bad and pulling down the morale (or is it morals) of my work mates.
Besides at home my best connection is 28.8kbs so if I can get thrrough the "monitoring" I only view videos and the like at work.
