Well it's set.. my employer installed big brother and I'm locked out of the site during the day <oh the horror>

Sooo you won't be getting my normal dose of sarcasm and insight.


So I'm curious...
What's everyone do durring the day?
Can you log into Alla from work?
Can you log into FFXI from work?

Currently I'm in accounting for one of the worlds largest forms company.

I can't log onto Alla any more :-(

Log into FFXI??? I wish!

Peace

Mattea

Can you log into Alla from work?

~ Yes. Its what keeps me sane here. Plus I dont often log on to Alla from home.

Can you log into FFXI from work?

~ I wish. I'd camp NM's and work during the downtime after a spawn.


"Did you finish setting up those three accounts yet?"

Hi Mattea,

I can't even get net access on my computer at work. I get to stare at a TV that doesn't have cable in the waiting room. I have Freecell (they haven't taken that away yet) on my pc and I live in fear of getting caught playing it.

I'm glad I can't get on FF at work - I don't know what my boss would make of Poopypants fishing in his Dream hat.

-_- During the day I take care of people and their cars.. take the garbage and their smiles.

Yes, I can log into Alla @ work but the popups are sometimes greeted with <YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED BY SONIC FIREWALL> *insert echo here*

I haven't tried logging into FFXI -_-; I doubt that I'd have the time to play. ^.~ My boss's office is just behind me!

Boo work.. it interferes with life but is necessary in order to feed the cats.

I can log onto Alla at work (get's me through some days.. or atleast 4:30-5pm)!

I "could" log onto FFXI at work.. but my business would soon fail and would then be playing FFXI via AOL /em slaps his own face!

But Valleo does give me a few ideas for when work is slow^^

Can you log into Alla from work?

Not only do I, it's pretty much the only place that I post from. I'm one of the few people that is allowed 'net access here, plus my bosses even know that I that I post here, and have no problem with it.

Can you log into FFXI from work?

This one I'm thinking about trying, although I would have to get one of those little LCD screens, and I don't even know if the game would be playable on it. Unfotunately, I also just got promoted, and I probably wouldn't be setting a very good example if I was camping NM's / fishing / farming while I was supposed to be working, especially now that I am in charge of other people.

Oh, and I'm sorry about your loss Mattea, all I can do is offer you some beer to ease your pain Smiley: boozing .

This is a toughie.

I work as a doorguard at my college, Illinois Institute of Technology. My job (where I'm at right now) consists of sitting behind a desk all day long, making sure that students that come in the doors scan their ID's to show that they're actual students. I work 4-8 hour shifts, simply sitting here behind the desk. Therefore, if you go to the Valefor, BLM, or RNG section during the day, most of the threads I'll probably have been active on.

I *can* play FFXI at work, as they don't really care what we do here as long as we're... well, here. In fact, if I had FFXI at work, my job would be the best there ever is: get paid $7 an hour to just sit at a desk and play FFXI. Hell, after work I go to my room and do just that, except I don't get paid for it.

However, these computers are really sh*y, and have restrictions so you can't install stuff, so no FFXI. If I had a laptop, life would be great... But I can't haul my PC from my room to my desk every day. /sigh... One little improvement on my life would make this job so much easier.

(At this moment, 6hr10min before I get to go home. Sitting at this desk... /sigh)

Well I am one of the lucky folks you read about... not a morning person and I have turned into the undead... Carpe Noctum... I work graveyard shift at a un-named company with unlimited un-monitored high-speed access. I can access this site AND I am able to play from work (on my laptop) - but for the love of God shut-your-pie-holes on that one!! I am sleeping during the day (or trying to...) while you all are at work. I sometimes come home from work and play - depends on my tiredness quotient. I also work whats called an alternative schedule.... 4 ten hour "days" and off 3 days... so my weekend starts at like 10am on a Saturday and ends at midnight Tuesday "night" (or as I like to think of it... Wednesday morning...)

Just keep in mind... I am online @ work from like 1am until like 7am... luckily my LS peeps are all undead too so that is when we do the SP thing! LOL!

I'm a student so I do more or less what I want (for now, soon to be ending). But I do have a job as well, tech support.

I'm not blocked so I can access Alla. I can't install FFXI on my computer, but I login to PlayOnline's Friend List Plus and chat with people from there.

I also carry my own laptop and use that at work so they can't trace me even if they found out. But I'm not the only person surfing the web at work. Our network has wireless which I can connect my laptop to, so it's all good.

we've got all kinds of stuff at my office, they know where I go.

I just say, "Hey it could be ****, get over it." Works like a charm. ^^

Wow, you guys are lucky. Our internet usage at work is so monitored I am afraid to check the radar when a storm moves in.

Even if I could log in from work, I wouldn't. When I am on the clock my time goes to the guy that signs the paychecks.

I'm lucky enough to have a lot of privacy at work. At times when it gets very slow...like now, I can log on to Alla and FFXI. When I do log on to FFXI I usually just farm since I never know when a customer might walk in. But my gil account has definately benefited ^^.

I'm lucky...but in a few months, the usual business will start flowing again and I'll be too busy to do anything :(. Oh well...gotta pay the bills somehow.
