O.K. guys( and ladies) I came online this morning (23 April) and there were 10 people reading or posting! Now I know I have an unusual ( sad looking friends and relations say non existent) profession. But 10?on a Tuesday? I suppose your supervisors are at the coffeemaker chit chatting? OUT!OUT! Back to work ( I have horses to work and a possible Archaeological survey to grovel for.)

Maybe depends on the timezone they're in?<br><br>Right now, it's just coming up to 10am Pacific Daylight Time. But it's 6pm here, and I've finished for the day, drinking a can of Coke, and waiting for the Simpsons to start! :-)

Tis nearly 4pm on a Friday in the PNW and most of the office has headed out for the weekend... I too shall follow... once my carpool swings round this way.

If it's 10:00 am PST, then it's 1:00 pm EST here in the states. I could have been on at lunch.

No Idea really. I work from home, so I come on any time I need a break. Sometimes it's a good thing.

Some folks here at work go outside for a cigarette (many times a day). Others head down to the cafeteria for a coffee.

When I need a mental break I head here, to my friends at ETS.com.

I can't wait for that day... I think that my wife isn't so thrilled about me having that much "free time" on my hands.

You buy a RV, live in it full time, moving around the country volunteering as camp hosts at state/fed campgrounds. Gives both of you a reason to get out of bed in the morning, but does not work you to death, and you get to see a lot of the country...
