Philosophic question? Does lifers actually have a life??

[Matt]

Humm... I don't know if this topic has been viewed before or not but in order to become a lifer in this forum you'll have to post a sh*tload of messages, replies,etc...

Do you really have a life then, considering you'll be in the area of 10+ posts/day??

Matt...only a member.

what else am i going to do at work?

Posting 10 posts takes about 10 minutes. Watching an average sitcom takes 30 minutes. Therefore, watching 1 TV show a day should have as much of an impact on your socail life as posting 30 posts/day.

not a lifer, but I would say 99.5% of my posts occur while I am at work.

This stuff is all new to me so my over 10 ppd means nothing. Starting to get boring.

Only if by the time they reach 10,001 posts they have a good handle on the grammatical rules regarding subject-verb agreement.

You're talking like posting takes effort.

At 70wpm and a lot of empty space in a day, a PPD of ten is nothing.

Goddam... you guys are quick. I'd be worried if I were your employer.

I have a feeling a docked Quick Reply window is responsible for a lot of my neffing.

It takes me 30 seconds or less, if I even bother to read the thread.

Many of us work in call centers.

As long as I'm in available, I'm doing my job.

Hence my postcount.

There's DannyLove, Rallispec, Isla, HotChic, me, who else?

 

[Fausto]

Hmmm....I'm approaching lifer status....time to take stock.

Wife: check
House: check
Cars: check
Real job: check
Friends: check
Hobbies other than computer: check
Tan acquired by actually spending time away from keyboard: check


Did I miss anything?

 

[xirtam]

Yeah, and you're all still here, so...

guess that's why they call the title "Lifer"

 

[Matt]

I (usually) try to read the posts to gauge whether I can contribute something to the post or not before writing one of my own. I'm on AT 1-2 hrs/day and my PPD is so low I'd be too embarrased to look it up.

Whoa you damn nef!!!! About 4 months ago you weren't that far ahead of me!

As far as the life thing goes, I've got the same list as Fausto here. About 95% of my posts are from work. I'm a dba with very good users so I don't get called on that often.
