Time ?

I find WAB absolutely fatal for getting any work done ... 3 hours after home time and I am still in the office posting away.

what is the longest time any of you have spent on here ?

ditto! It's fatal to have a job that allows you to be online to WAB all day. You mean to keep it in the background while you do your work but you just can't stop that urge to keep checking the forum, the gallery etc.!

Re: Time ?

I think with Wildone it would be easier to ask how long she has spent off here. I often see her on til the small wee hours. What a trooper

Re: Time ?

Depends what shifts I am working. It's not uncommon for me to spend a couple of hours at home on WAB and then log on again at work for an hour or so if I can get away with it.

Re: Time ?

trying to catch up on some work at the minute - perhaps we need to start a WAB addict support group he he he!!!
Yes I have noticed Wildone clearly still working so hard when I sometimes pop in for a look late at night. Absolute star!

Re: Time ?

I think StuDH and the gallery editors work 25 hours a day and deserve a lot of praise.
I have stayed logged in for some long periods cause there is always something interesting and I am off 2-3 days at a time,but the others are at it all the time voluntarily!!

Re: Time ?

Only because we feel WAB has so much to offer. If I am out for the day I feel deprived; what a sad state to have got into.

I second that. Without StuDH the gallery editors and mods there would be no WAB and then we would have to actually work instead of logging on to WAB, perish the thought!!
Seriously though folks they all do a tremendous job keeping WAB running in the manner it is and they all deserve a round of applause.

Re: Time ?

I guess it's sort of the same as chatting over the garden fence - if only my neighbours were as interesting!

The point is that the members of WAB share a common interest, BRITISH WILDLIFE. I bet most neighbours are not interested so are not interesting.

Re: Time ?

If WAB doesn't take up all your time, maybe this will use up the spare bits!

I don't know what is sadder - the fact your work internet closes down at 1am or the fact you were there to find out
