Am I a Loser 'Cause.....?

“I only read it for the articles”

Wirelass laptops and self-employment. HUGE enablers…

I have my own office as well. I just leave the screen up. My work load isn’t usually very heavy unless surgery is involved. I can generally get 4 meals in during work without much of a problem, especially since there is a microwave in the office. This is generally the first site I log into as soon as I get to work.

If they had email here, I would never have to leave. But really, all my email is is a place to get PM notices from T-Nation.

I’m on all the time. I think 12 hours/day is sellng me pretty short.

Are there subliminal message on the site that hypnotise us? Why are we addicted? If we could only get paid to be on here.

You know I’m starting to wonder…I do spend an inordinate amount of time on here after work/school, more time than I have spent anywhere else…even on porn sites…something is wrong here!

Oh yeah and as a mom this is much better than oreos and Oprah. I think most would agree?

This IS the first site I log onto. I have a full kitchen in the lab building, so eating every 2-3 hours is no problem. And my sample load isn’t usually heavy which leaves me ample time to waste here.

You may be onto something here. I have thought about what is so damn addicting about this site too. I can’t pull myself away from it. Hell, this site sees more of me than ANY other site. I think it’s the cool colors of the backgrounds.

I don’t know about spaceking, but mine is tabbed browsing with Mozilla… I can keep the window open, and pop back to it when bored…

I have my own office as well so I really don’t have to hide my screen from anyone. But this is the first site I log on in the morning and the last one I look at before I go home…man I’ve got to get a life!

I work 12 hour shifts and T-Nation stays up the entire time. Then I go home and look here some more. I’m a BIG loser. I’m so bad, I got my wife hooked on here. I’m home now and have shit to do, but here I am. HELP![/quote]

I’m hooked, I admit…we’re sick! I think it’s time to go to TNA—T-Nation anonymous. I even bought a t-shirt! :slight_smile: I tell people about “my friends”–they ask where they’re from—“oh, this wesite that we frequent”—HOW LAME!

Here’s another one for you----
My inlaws bought us this groovy new computer…we also bought a digital camera for Christmas…my mother in law told me yesterday that she regrets getting us the computer b/c we never visit anymore! We spend all of our time “on that bodybuilding site”!

I know…

I have it open about 7-8 of the 8 hours a day I pretend to work. I have an office of my own so it is not a problem.

No, no it was a joke about keeping “it” up all day. Not the window, man.

Nice Office Space quote.

I am a stay at home mom so I don’t have to hide the screen, unless push’s photos are up and my kid walks in. I spend alot of time here. I may not post too often, but am reading alot. I do this inbetween chores and pick ups and drop offs and diapers and dishes…wait side tracked there.

Ya same as most first and last site.

I think I am addicted because of good info, positive motivation and you all are nuts…keeps it interesting. insert cheesy grin

If we were all in a room together, I think we would still have to log into T-Nation to talk to each other. Actual human contact would be to weird.

I have my own office. T-Nation all day between clients.

Reading this thread, I thought I’d offer up this tidbit:

It’s a fabulous stealth browser, the only downside is no images. But as the site says the net admin. knows all!

I wouldn’t feel right without Professor X constantly touching his temple and staring at me. Even the new avatar feels wrong.
