    I feel the same way. I find myself on these forums all the time. I keep hitting F5 so I can say something stupid in response to someone.


    Rather like this, in fact :D

    You know, if you're going to just sit on the forums all day at work (like me) then maybe you should take it to the next level and sit in the chat room all day.

    i would but i don't think my firewall security thing that my work has me behind will allow me to go into the chat. It won't let me go to penny-arcade.com but i can go into the forums >.> so who knows... i'll give it a shot if someone would so kindly point me in the right direction ^_^

    Technically Tr0tsky beat me to it, but yeah, IRC dawg.

    But yeah, it's pretty much all forums all the time, but people are pretty casual here at Tommy Bahama. I still get everything done the comes to me.

    I probably could get away with IRC too, but that would just be unhealthy.

    Try going to the wiki and using the web irc client I have on the first page. pax.wikidot.com and click show irc client in the middle section. Mibbit gets around the firewall at my work.

    it said connection refused... but i don't know if that's the firewall or me doing it wrong... either way... i don't think i'll be joining the chat while at work ;; i guess i'll just have to settle for sitting on the forums all day... OH DARN >.< i HATE getting paid and going on forums haha XD

    This is what's wrong with IRC users today. They think IRC should be GUI, but it's not. It's /server yo.

    I am constantly pressing F5. My F5 finger is starting to hurt.


    Am I the only one who notices that this specific forum has more veiwers than all the other forums combined. Not this thread, but the PAX Forum. I saw it had like 101 visitors a while back. It has at least 50 generally.

    The excitment is in the air.

    Aye, I find myself hitting the "compile" button more often and suddenly finding myself with an extra minute of downtime to check the forums... for sure. =) I'm doing a little better today, partly because I'm too exhausted... but even today I've probably checked the board 50 times while at work. =)

    I'm guilty. This is the only forum that the Air National Guard's firewall elts through, for some reason. I like to think its because of Childsplay :)

    Right now I'm doing my '3 weeks a year' deal, so I'm doing lots of random stuff. Last week was weed-eating on Tues, then I sat at a reception desk Wed and Thurs (no one works Fridays here) and did nothing but browse the forum. Now I'm on a crew that is tearing up bushes and landscaping felt to replace them with rock beds. Hard, tiring work that keeps me from the forums. But, it's random every day and I have through next week so hopefully I'll be riding a desk out of the heat soon!
