Is it lack of something better to do? Is it just b/c you like to sit around and watch time pass by?
How many hours a week would you say you spend on this site and or any other sites? I've gotten around 150 hours in about 3 weeks. 4 hours of that being just from today.

Well I'm too lazy to do housework. And I can't concentrate on my homework when I'm listening to music.

Too lazy to even sweep a floor? I sweep when I'm looking for something to do. My reply would have been that I don't do school work >_>

I almost always have a tab open, but I'm usually doing something else and just check GS between stuff. But I still spend a lot of time on the site and this board specifically.

Very good :) but in my book that is the same as "b/c we can" >_> I mean we wouldn't do it if we couldn't but then again if we didn't we would die so I guess we kinda have to

I don't anymore... and I'm not quite sure why. I feel like I should be doing something more.... fulfilling? I guess I used to come here to talk. Now I've realised that people here aren't really the people I should be spending my time talking to.

Yep, have to do several hours a day of research on the net, so if I'm not overwhelmed I leave GS open. And I'm always still kinda working on the weekends, just have more fun sites open.

Nice reply :) What was the last thing you read? fastesttruck

Ah, it's been awhile (for novels that is) so I'm not quite sure. Either The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, or Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Both were good in my opinion but for different reasons. Literally the last thing I read though was a chapter from an introductory Physics textbook, nowhere near as fun as novels.

What about you? I just quickly read the thread and wondered, why do you spend so much time here?

What kind of job do you have then?

Sell packaging products & equipment, and consult for a recycling company. Usually researching on the equipment side for customer needs. Since I sell literally thousands of products I can't know everything about them all so I have to look into anything new I'm putting in a manufactuing plant. Also to look for leads, business trends, resin markets are something else I have to watch a lot.

Dead Space for now. If I'd played it till I slept, then got up and played some more I'd be finished with it now.
