DISboarding while working...

[LSU]

how many of you are actually at work right now??:surfweb:

[elemusing]

SHHHHHH!! Are you trying to get me fired???;)

[Luv4Disney]

Yeah, shhhh, what's the big idea? Don't out us! ;)

[Mrs Grumpy]

Guilty! I am on break right now though :woohoo:

[HUFF590]

I am, but Its not affecting my work performance. Right?:rotfl2:

[kim_o]

Guilty.

[LSU]

do I work with you?? do you know who I am? are you my boss?

getting paranoid now....:scared1:

[LSU]

Guilty! I am on break right now though :woohoo:

YEAH, RIGHTTTTTT!!!!! :goodvibes

so am I!

[gw_lit]

Work? :surfweb:

Oh yeah, that reminds me of a deadline...

[brymolmom]

I am. But a good worker is really well-rounded, right? I am just expanding my horizons to make me a better person on the job!

[libinatorsmom]

He He He... I Am.... Shhhhh

[LSU]

oh - and actually I am disboarding to train for becoming a disney travel agent.

isn't that called ON THE JOB TRAINING??? :rotfl:

[Amirah95]

I am!!!! *window minimized*

[Luv4Disney]

See how well we multi-task? :surfweb:

[jjarman]

Count me in. I have a security filter on my screen so I have a few seconds to click off if someone comes in. I don't have time at home to do my planning. Isn't that what work is for?:rotfl:

[AJackson]

I don't have time to get on here at home, so I have to do it at work! :rotfl2:

[BamaFan121s]

Guilty...I didn't know you were supposed to work on Fridays?:confused3

[LSU]

I don't have time to get on here at home, so I have to do it at work! :rotfl2:

yeah...really! Work is the only ME time that I have!:lmao:

[Luv4Disney]

Well it is "casual" Friday at my work. I figure it shouldn't be limited to clothing... ;)

[k_null81]

I'm busted also! :rotfl: Hey I leave bright and early Sunday morning for the World! I need to brush up before I leave. :)

[Amirah95]

Well it is "casual" Friday at my work. I figure it shouldn't be limited to clothing... ;)

:lmao:

[mousiemom]

are you kidding me?? i do more work on the disboard than my own job here!!
mousiemom

[maraki527]

add another to the list

[Sleeping Becca]

Yep! I'm workin alright!

[Crisgw]

Me :)

[Jen76b]

:lmao: What a funny subject. I can't wait to see how many people reply. I work from home, but I am on a strict 8 hour schedule.

I keep my home computer on and get on a few times a day to see if anything new is posted. It gets boring being in the same room all day (I know it could be worse) so I need something to distract me for a few minutes that doesn't really take me away from my computer in case someone calls or IMs me.

Happy surfing!! :surfweb:

[ProudMommyof2]

Hey- are you looking over my shoulder?

Busted!:rolleyes1

My boss knows I do on down time waiting for my next patient to be put in an exam room. Since he is now in WDW following all the planning I did for him, I do not think he minds!:thumbsup2

[ocalla]

Me! Me! Me!

(shhh, don't tell my boss) :thumbsup2

[loonytoony]

:surfweb: :stir: :genie: :ssst:

working

[Tink888]

I am!!!! *window minimized*

Another minimizer here! Work a little....Dis a little....Work a little....Dis a little :rolleyes1

[disneyfav4ever]

Right now I'm not, on Monday I DIS'ed a lot though, and watched Desperate Housewives online while at work.

[Luv4Disney]

Don't forget all - delete history, files and cookies! :lmao:

[phanomouse]

hey I am reading through the boards, writing a press release for a client, and sitting in a meeting listening to one of my employees talk about the ad campaign ideas she came up with for one of our clients! I am a good multi-tasker what can I say? :confused3

[MichelleVW]

omg..almost all of my Dis time is at work!! At work now of course!!

[goofy4tink]

At home, but according to dh...DISing IS my job. Too bad I don't get paid for it.:thumbsup2

[LSU]

okay..lame...I know...but this just popped into my head. :dance3:


Just DISboard while you work
Put on that grin and start right in to DISboard all day long
Just hum a merry tune
Just do your best and take a rest and sing yourself a song

When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you, forget your troubles,
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee

And DISboard while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and start
To DISboard while you work

[tebookie]

Well I am @ the office. Working or Disboarding...you figure it out :lmao:

[GothTink]

I am, but fortunately I work from home. :banana:

[stopher1]

Yep, I am...

[Mom_of_3_Pirates]

The only time I can DIS is at work because when I am at home, it's stuff with the kids or housework. That's what multi-tasking is for!

[FLA NUT]

I always Dis at work. It's the only time I have. Ocassionally our IS team pulls audits to see how much time we spend on the internet and what sites :scared1:. I may be unemployed soon if that happens :sad2: .

[CapnJacksGirl]

Another "working" DISer here! Luckily my boss has no idea how long projects actually take, so I can get things done quickly and spend the rest of my time with you guys!! :cool1:

[i_hrt_mickey]

Guilty !!!! :guilty: But the boss is gone for the day, and technally I have until Monday to finish !!!

right??? .... :rotfl2:

[toledo13]

:surfweb: :angel: ;)

[bucky1023]

I'm at the office, but I don't think this is working ;)

[Jonny_Duck]

Yup at work atm

[Cindeegyrl]

Most of the time when I am on DIS, I am at work. :rotfl2: Don't have time once I get home. I'm just glad I have a job where I can surf the net. :)

[MareSINY]

Me!!! And I'm sneaking out early today in another 10 minutes or so! :cool1:

[wdwmaw]

Me, don't tell !!

[DSNY4ever]

Wait, do we not get paid for this???!!! I thought my Disney dollars had just gotten lost in the mail ;)

[LSU]

Another minimizer here! Work a little....Dis a little....Work a little....Dis a little :rolleyes1

how about a mirror? does anybody have a small stand-up mirror on their desk so they can see the reflection of people coming up behind them? everybody here has one. :lmao:

[jerelynj]

Me! And Alt+Tab is my BEST friend!
:yay:

[abbeyville2862]

Count me in! I'm addicted to the DIS...work & at home. :yay:

[tina_la]

and all this time I thought it was just me....:angel:

[TxMickeyLover]

Guilty as charged. BUT, I do minimize a lot and as soon as something comes in, I take care of it and come back to the DIS. Fortunately, I can be fast and accurate at what I do, and I'm an excellent multi-tasker. :thumbsup2

Besides, I figure it looks better than what most of the girls do....play Solitare.

[2vets]

OF COURSE!!!

but in my defense:

1) I have yet to miss a deadline (I am a goody-goody)
2) OMG, I could be looking at way worse stuff!!!
3) Don'tcha know? Employees do more when they take "mental vacations" on occasion. Maybe not every 15 minutes, I grant you...

[KatMark]

Count me in. But I've been here 33 years and I figure I am entitled to a little "play" time, plus I have three bosses--one is 82 and he does not work on Mondays and Fridays (and I have been with him ALL 33 years), and the other two are out at client meetings. So who am I possibly harming??? And one of the other attorneys who sits right in front of me is off to Disney tomorrow and I have to keep her posted on the latest info, don't I? :lmao:

[duketennisgal]

Every Day!!!!

But I always get straight to anything that comes across my desk, I only do this when I have some down time.

[nikkistevej]

I am too!!!:surfweb:

[Fantasmic23]

how many of you are actually at work right now??:surfweb:

Of course! :surfweb:
How else am I gonna pay for the next Disney fiesta? :)

[georgemoe]

I like to call it multitasking practice. :tiptoe:

[4 Little Bears]

Okay, you caught me!

I'm a switchboard operator. My console is on the computer so I can answer calls and read the disboards...how cool is that!

[Mickey1974]

I am....it's Friday, right before lunch...all my work is done for the week...I still have the afternoon to go....in which case I'll be the only one here till I close up...I need a beer....I'm thinking of taking a nap in one of the rooms downstairs...it's raining and crummy outside....think I might leave early today...this site really helps make the time go by!

[casnider]

Ok I am fessing up....but I do collect utility bills at a drive-up window so as long as I look busy and greet everyone with a smile it makes it ok, right? Right?:cool1:

[five disney lovers]

You are not suppose to tell where you are. Luckily I am at work but on a lunch break where they allow us to use the internet during that time only and of course that is the only time I am on:rotfl2:

[DW Dad]

Um yeah I'm definitely at uh..home right, thats where I am :rolleyes1

[fabfivefigo]

Wow. This thread's been open for about an hour and already 60+ people (including myself) are admitting to being at work. So much for the economy's productivity gains.

But seriously, if I wasn't spending time on here, I'd be,........ well let's see, I guess I'd be over at Bigsoccer doing the same thing. :)

[Shmily1]

Yep, you caught me! How did you know?

[Indio]

Me Too!!!!

[PamNC]

I admit it. I DISboard during work hours, but only if time allows. Oh, and during lunch.

PamNC

[michellelovesthemous]

shhhhh! that would be me guilty as charged :surfweb:
okay al of us that are "suffering and wallowing" in our guilt GROUP :grouphug:

[Pirate at Heart]

Yes, I'm at work. It's a slow, slow day. Just hanging around unitl 5:30. Then Disney on Travel tonight at 9:00!!!


pirate:

[Disneenut]

Guilty here too...

I am a computer tech so i always have my laptop... i am eating lunch right now DISing! :thumbsup2

Need a DISaholics anonymous. :rolleyes1

[LilGMom]

Multi-tasking here too. :goodvibes

Got my project submitted so it's all good. :)

[LilGMom]

Yes, I'm at work. It's a slow, slow day. Just hanging around unitl 5:30. Then Disney on Travel tonight at 9:00!!!

Thanks for remind me about that. Must set up the DVR when I get home.

[KEMdisney]

i am guilty as well!

[ntsammy5]

:lmao: Good thread!

[lindakmonty]

Guilty here!!!

[GoofySon'sMom]

Another guilty party! :rolleyes1

[Toystoryfan32]

Guilty.:surfweb:

[charity]

Guilty!!! Everyday!

[Hasil72]

Guilty...yet somehow I don't feel so guilty. :sad2:

[beansmom]

good grief, some of Y'ALL are bold. Not Me, of course, but some of YOUSE!!!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Marc A.]

are you kidding me!!!! I give myself DIS breaks all the time here.
Otherwise I wouldn't survive.

[Stacy's a freak]

Guilty too :guilty: But it IS Friday. And I did 3 real estate closings today, and did lots of other things too .... eek, please don't turn me into IT. I'm the office manager and setting a very poor example!

[Marc A.]

Guilty too :guilty: But it IS Friday. And I did 3 real estate closings today, and did lots of other things too .... eek, please don't turn me into IT. I'm the office manager and setting a very poor example!
Real estate closings???? Those are almost extinct here.
:confused:

[joyerbides]

Hilarious:lmao: , We, who are parents, know that the only time we have for ourselves is during work. If we didn't have a job with a computer, there would not be half as many posts ;). But seriously, this helps with eye-hand coordination (the use of the mouse), and our typing skills (posting), and during those LONG afternoons, when you feel like you are going to fall asleep (you know, right after lunch), this keeps all of us alert. Our bosses should be thanking us :worship:
So....I have to do my part. Of course I'm at work :thumbsup2

[mickeymyfavorite]

Guilty!!! Everyday!

me too :rolleyes1 by the way I'm at work right now!

[a Really Bad Egg]

Funny thread.

I hope we all know that some companies monitor Web surfing.

Our company has a surfing threshold - and if you reach it, you get the closed door meeting so you can explain why you were on DIS all day.

:lmao:

[GSLand]

I often surf around when on a conference call. These calls run up to 2 hours!:surfweb:

[sfbank]

Guilty here too! I am still on my luch hour though. I take it here and there as I always get interrupted!!;) We have most of our goals done for this year and missed a big storm today-no claims! So you know.....and like said before it is Friday! Plus it is someone's birthday in the office!

[ForeverDance]

Guilty, except that I view it as a perk of being efficient. Besides if I'm constantly ahead of my coworkers it would make then look bad, and I wouldn't want to do that :rolleyes1

Also, I work in IS so I know exactly what our tech guys monitor as far as web traffic goes :ssst: Right now we only worry about people who hog bandwidth (from radio, video online etc.) so I'm safe for now.

[lntsmom]

I'm at work, too, but I only get on the boards at lunch and at the end of the day. Sometimes I stay after for up to an hour, depending on my kids' schedules, to surf the boards.

I don't have internet at home anymore, so it is this or the public library on Saturday.

The techies where I work can, if they wish, monitor our screens at all times. Sometimes someone across town is using my computer to install stuff, etc. Kind of odd watching the cursor do it's own little thing.

I pretty much play by the rules, so I don't think it's an issue. Now, buying my air tickets online might be called into question, as shopping is a no-no, but I just didn't want to use my credit card on a public computer.

Still, knowing that every move you make is logged, monitored, and reported does remove the mirror-over-the-shoulder option! :rolleyes:

[Steven41782]

:rolleyes1 Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I try to use the discrete color setting, but it never works. I actually have put my computer on my desk instead of on my computer credenza so no one can see my screen. I have the work hard and then play hard mentality... instead of pacing my self, I blow through a bunch of stuff and then Dis.

[cinnderly]

I knew I wasn't the only one... :)

At work, and only have 25 more minutes to go. Not that I am counting the seconds ticking by or anything.

[Tnkrbelle565]

:surfweb: shhhh!

[tndisneyfan]

I'm not at work now but it isn't unusual for me to be Dissing at work. My job allows me to have some free time on the internet, some of the bosses don't mind some of them do but they let it go.

[deej696]

Guilty. I manage to sneak to our computer to check in on things here many times during the day:thumbsup2

[Nemo32]

I'm busted also! :rotfl: Hey I leave bright and early Sunday morning for the World! I need to brush up before I leave. :)

I'm leaving Sunday!

okay..lame...I know...but this just popped into my head. :dance3:


Just DISboard while you work
Put on that grin and start right in to DISboard all day long

When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you, forget your troubles,
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee

And DISboard while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and start
To DISboard while you work

:lmao: Seems like you have a little too much time at work.

I ALWAYS Dis at work...but I also always have work open, just in case I need to minimize when the boss approaches.

[mousetravel]

Yes, I'm guilty too. How else am I supposed to stay awake? I have a boring job. I just sit there waiting for people to come in & make payments all day.

Is deleting the "history" enough to not get busted?

[JulieNMM]

About 10 or 20 years ago when we first got our own PCs at work (before that, 20 people shared one! Could you imagine?!?!) we all played Solitaire and told our boss that we were practicing our mousing and typing skills.

So that's my answer and I'm sticking to it! :laughing:

JULIE

[Moonpie]

:teacher: Since I'm a teacher it would be pretty scary :scared1: if I got on the computer during work. ...turn your back on a first grade class and there's no telling what could happen. pirate: Plus my school does not permit access to certain websites, and does not allow any of us to use the computer for personal use.

[jimmalru80]

Not me.

[LilGMom]

Guilty, except that I view it as a perk of being efficient. Besides if I'm constantly ahead of my coworkers it would make then look bad, and I wouldn't want to do that.

I love your reasoning!!!

[DznyDreamz]

As the boss, I am one of the ones setting the "no internet during work" rules and then I go and break them! Discretely, of course. But I look at it this way, I don't usually take a lunch break. I bring in my lunch and work through it. So if I pop into Dis to surf for 15 mins here and there, its just stretching my lunch out during the day!

I also log in during conference calls that don't require active participation. ;)

[rond310]

count me in too. I have to check the boards at least once a day to make sure I am not missing anything :)

[Amirah95]

Anybody get written up, suspended or fired yet?? :lmao:

[matt&jakesmom]

Every morning after at work when I get my morning work done, I check my emails and go on disboards. It is part of my morning routine. My boss knows I am on there and has no problem probably because we are a small office of
3.

[davinakb]

Is deleting the "history" enough to not get busted?At work now. Will delete history, cookies and passwords.

[Disney Von Drake]

Is deleting the "history" enough to not get busted?It depends upon your employer and how the computers are set up. The bosses may indeed be watching you through the network or via keylogging.

[DisneyShannon]

I am. I work evening shift.

[Cinderella21]

oh thats definently me! i work 12 hr overnight shift so im on pretty much everynight...i really look like this guy:surfweb: right now...hehe

[dmslush]

I can't, I work for the state and would lose my job for getting on the dis :scared:

[yoplit]

Guilty as charged.....and loving it :goodvibes but thank goodness boss isn't tech savvy enough to go beyond clearing history and cookies :thumbsup2

[pixistix]

To an extent. I write a blog for our newspaper's Web site so I can always say I'm checking out a "rumor" that I want to write about.
But I'm in outside sales so I don't get much time while at work.

[rachel3]

oh thats definently me! i work 12 hr overnight shift so im on pretty much everynight...i really look like this guy:surfweb: right now...hehe

same here. i work 12 hour nights in an ER. only get online when not busy..... we have down time , then we have times when don't even get a potty break. :rotfl: so that's how i justify my internet time!!

[RllngRckBrw]

Days that I work 16 hours, I will take 15 or 20 min to relax and heck the boards, I figued it is a wash.

[STAYC18]

I'm On Right Now At Work

[agame2323]

I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one. I use to feel guilty about the amount of time I spent on here during work hrs. Suddenly, I feel like I'm doing nothing wrong.

[Disneenut]

Guess what i am doing..... ;)

[Disneyfn420]

I am guilty of surfing the boards as well. I'm also a "minimizer"...so far I haven't gotten caught yet :)

Leslie

[mickeymyfavorite]

Hi just checking in from work :rolleyes1

[Ageout96]

Add another minimizer to the board ...:confused3

[mousetravel]

Hey ya'll... from work! :surfweb:

[VMK_Mouse]

I am at work, but please do not tell. :)

[AshleyMWC]

I am definitely at work :surfweb:

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Yep, I'm at work, too. ALT+TAB is my best friend. I can switch between open windows in a split-second at the first sound of approaching footsteps... :rolleyes1

[Simba22]

in my defense there is no work to do! :rotfl2: im just waiting for them to tell me it's OK to leave early

[Raenstoirm]

:surfweb: :rolleyes1 :blush: :ssst:

[Twitterpated Dad]

Nothing you do on a work computer is private. You will never know when the boss installs big brother. Check out http://www.spectorsoft.com/ :scared1:

[Chellymouse]

I'm technically on my lunch break! :cool1:

[kakiegirl]

Another Diser at Work. :surfweb: And I thought I was the only naughty one out there.:scared1:

[chiefdragon]

I am part of this club...shame on me.

[GoldenAfternoon]

"Working" right now, too! :rolleyes1

[spacy9]

I have to check the boards at work, I'm too busy at home :lmao:

[nswift]

:surfweb: :rolleyes1 :coffee: :blush:
Yep, at work. The IT guys are sitting in a room right now watching what I am doing...
In my defense IT'S LUNCH TIME! I do check in on my break as well :rolleyes1

[disneywifey]

in my defense there is no work to do! :rotfl2: im just waiting for them to tell me it's OK to leave early

Pretty much same for me. I probably shouldn't be on here too much though :rolleyes1

[Cindeegyrl]

I'm at work too :laughing: I am on DIS throughout the day whenever I get a break, but I try to look busy at the same time.

[domiii]

Whenever I finish a project or a task, I take a quick look! It's a personal incentive to get a lot done. Of course I don't put a limit to how long I spend on the Disboards. :lmao:

[adaygaby]

Guilty as charged :lmao: :lmao:

[sherabby]

Count me in for being at work! This website gets me through the day sometimes!

[burberryplaid]

I'm at work..shhhhh! :)

[sarah_n_brian2006]

I am :surfweb: :laundy:

[Cynt]

I surf all day every day at work. I complete a task and then I surf. I hit my main sports sites, dis and cruise sites. It's glad to know that I'm not the only one who does this. I know it's crazy but I visit and lurk at the Dis site at least 4 to 6 times a day. I work in accounting and if I don't take mental breaks every hour or so I would have a melt down like the kids at the parks. LOL!!!

[DexLabDeeDee]

Shhhh...I'm here too. I check throughout the day when I get something accomplished!

[danny1649]

Off of our Main Board,I think this thread is better fit here on our Community Board. Thanks Danny

[DizzDoll]

I'm at work too!!:surfweb: Too busy on weekends.

[teddygurl28]

i think this is the only thng that gets me through work! im so glad to have foudn this board!

[jessirae]

And I thought I was the only one! I have become a master at looking extremely busy at my computer while I am visiting my happy place :rolleyes1 . I am here every chance I get...this my therapy!
