My Pledge...I will not Post at Work

[Makalakumu]

Yup, the time has come. I've been a bad boy. It's time to stop posting at work. Yeah, its going to mean leaving some challenges unanswered and its going to mean less overall contribution, but its gotta stop. I'll see you around...on my own time.

Anyone else want to join me in this pledge?

Nah, can't quit cold-turkey like that. I do plan on reducing my forum times though.

LOL. Yea, right. I'll believe that when I see it.

I work at computer most of teh day with lots of dead time. If I wasn't on the forums I would go insane from the boredom.

OK, I'm with ya, man. Besides, I think we tend to disagree anyway, so this should make both of our lives easier, hehe. I've been trying to stop posting at work for a while, so this oughta help...well, back to work!

 

[OUMoose]

If you had said you weren't going to access MT at all from work, I'd be impressed. I go days on end without a single post, but I lurk all the time...

 

[arnisador]

I can no longer read or post at work (where your tax dollars now pay for my computer), so I just end up dropping out of some fast-moving threads. If I get home and am three pages behind...never mind!

 

[theletch1]

I'll join you on that one...'course, I drive a truck for a living and posting to the forum at 70 mph in an 80,000 lb rig was never a good idea anyway. :ultracool

 

[DavidCC]

I refuse to take your pledge.


Why would I waste my own valuable time surfing the inernet when I could be practicing for my green belt! No, work is the only time I will be here.

Hehehe...like a heroine addict pledging to quit cold turkey on his/her own. You definitely need a support group, or you can just lock yourself in your closet until the shakes go away...

...or you could try the patch. I called my congressman and demanded that he do something about the millions (thousands...whatever) of people hooked on MT. A habit so hard to bread that it is reminicsent of the habit of a first year Everquest/Evercrack player. I demanded that thousands (millions...whatever) of dollars be ear-marked for research into the MT-derm CQ patch.

He hasn't responded yet. He never calls me back anymore...

You'd have to pry Martial Talk out of my cold dead hands. I chose this job because it affords me the opportunity to Martial Talk when I want. Upnorth, be strong, remember the argument. Your voice needs to be heard. The viewers at home yearn for your input and contribution. Trying to be responsible to whomever signs your paycheque? Looking to increase your productivity? What a horrifying proposition.

In fact, you have it backwards. The more time you spend here thinking critically, the more exercise your brain gets, which translates directly into added value for your employer.

I know you're hearing me, Upnorth. I can feel your skepticism filling the air like a thick haze. Stretch out with your feelings. That's it. Yesss. Join me.

Edit your hosts file on your work computer as a safety measure?

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

add this at the bottom:

127.0.0.1 martialtalk.com

should keep you out

that's a pretty hefty pledge there. don't tell us you got caught by the man. if so that sucks. if you're trying to quit just out of self-preservation, good for you...and good for me too. there's alot of times when things are slow, i too find myself lurking through MT when i should be doing something more productive...then i'll see some rediculous leftist post you've made and the rest of my workday goes to ****. i think MY boss would appreciate if you quit as well.

on a more serious note...i kinda know where you're coming from though. too often it's so easy to get caught up in forum conversation that it slowly tends to monopolize your free time (or work time). gotta have priorities though.

don't be a stranger in the study though. who else do me and Tom have to team up on? it's not fun beating on Michael all the time, gotta switch things up a little every now and then.

later cheese head.

This place is dead when Im at work and I dont have a computer in my car so its never been a problem. I do check up on threads when I stop by my house for my lunch break.

 

[Makalakumu]

Okay, I got on the wagon about half the day today. The morning, I was wasted off MT and now I'm off the wagon at a more appropriate time. I tried lurking on some threads, but that was a horror. Sapper6 started typing some stuff and boiled my blood. I don't know how long I'll last, but here it goes...

Theban, if you get any of those patches, send them my way.

Flatlander - "the power of Christ compells you! Get out of this body!"
