and it's a bit early for you to have gathered enough data to determine such a trend.

I think you're also on your way to unemployment, or at best suspension of your Internet privileges. Remember, bosses join TR too. I can justify some interaction here as professional development, but not researching the problems of others at the expense of problems at work.

What i am saying is at times i am not busy, and instead of reading useless information on the internet i come on and try to answer peoples problems, this way i am keeping myself busy and learning new things and problems from other users.

Yes your right i have been here for a little over two months, but i was asking a question not makeing a statement as you see it i was only asking if anyone else answers more technical problem on this form than they do in work, and for your information i am not heading for umemployment nor internet suspension as i am the system admin looking after all I.T along with my manager.

by the 'g-man.'

but what about your manager or his / her boss?

You fail to realise that just beacuse you look after the IT systems, does not make you immune. All they need to do is call in somebody else to look on their behalf - easy.

Hey, they may even ask you to report on yourself - what then, lie? - No, get found out doing that and it is the end of your IT career.

Edit - please use 'I' instead of 'i' when referring to yourelf in posts.

I don't understand the people warning you about consequences. They must live in a very high-pressure/strict environment and cannot fathom that there are more relaxed workplaces out there ? :-)
Mind you, in the mean time, their own responses do not really qualify as research or work related activity :-)

that aside, no, I personally do not spend more time on Techrepublic, I do spend probably 1-2 hours a workday on the Internet for various reasons, and I know somebody in my small and very close team of 4 might be watching (although very unlikely).

have a nice weekend,

I am not saying that i spend all day on TR, what i was saying is that sometimes i feel like i answer or help more people out on TR.

As i said i only do it when i have the time and don't spend all day on this, its only when i have the time i just like to be really busy and kept up to date.

Thank god someone understand

We have down times around here periodically. Since I am in this biz because I like helping others I do find myself getting somewhat carried away trying to help too much here. On occasion.

This place can be addicting at times.

Disregard the BS some people post...

I spend a good bit of time on here..some in a professional capacity..some just messing around.

There has been a case where I spent a couple hours helping someone..most of it my lunch hour..about 30 mins over the course of the afternoon, and a bit when I got home. I reckon if my boss had an issue with a few minutes here and there then I'd politly point out that I have been the recipient of such help and it enabled me to do my job better.. thankfully I have good superiors.

Keep it up mate, just because someone (not naming names) takes exception to you starting a bit of a chin-wag about how much time we spend on here don't go and get all cynical :)

A good few of us are addicted to TR...I fully admit spening more time on here than I should..but sure..I could easily spend my time in email, online shopping, chat, ect..like other people do.. at least its generally "intelligent" on here...

Happy Monday :)
