Do you ROC at work?

[5S Dude]

How many of you fellow ROC-heads sneak onto the ROC while at work?:D

[LadyRidge]

Me!! :D :rolleyes: ;)

[ridged]

I do but only on VERY RARE occasions since I work for you (U.S. taxpayers) and it isn't appropriate to use gov't computers for such stuff. :)

[DRTHVDR]

I'm at work right now....:D

[DoctorJ]

I work from home and don't tell the boss I am here..... no wait a minute I am the boss :eek:

[TheRidgester]

Not me, never, nope, that would not be ethical... oh wait.. I'm here now:eek:

[arteegee]

Not me, never, nope, that would not be ethical... oh wait.. I'm here now:eek:
Caught 'cha.:p

[farmguy]

I might use that one if I can twist it enough to make it applicable to my job. ;)

Maybe you can say that you are conducting research on a possible paint ball crime spree and RidgeLines have been threatened as the target. :D

[steveberger]

I'm getting better. Only 2 or 3 times in a 10 hour shift. Used to be much worse in the early days (April May `05).

You have quite an imagination! :D

[GEEK1]

I DO....AT WORK RIGHT NOW....although this is the first time i've been on ROC at work.

[Webwader]

If I worked I might. :D

[Luder62678R1]

I'm on here all the time from work :D But I definately have to sneak, they monitor all Internet activity, so I have to use Windows XP Remote Desktop feature, along with a highspeed connection, and remote to my home computer (not monitored), then surf and read the ROC all day long :rolleyes:

[arteegee]

Pretty sneaky.;)

[25 Year Honda Owner]

I did until I retired recently. But only at lunch!:D The government computers are a hell of a lot better than this POS dial-up I am stuck with unless I relocate.

[Outfitter]

Guilty as charged your Honor.:o

LadyRidge????? Are we back on againwith the paintball thing? I am always ready to defend the ROC/your honor....MyLady! ROTGLOL!:D

[CUinaRidge]

*looks over shoulder*

*checks cube walls*

Yep, Guilty as charged.

:)

[RidgeOwner3]

I can only ROC at work. My home computer hasn't let me login to the ROC for weeks. Don't know why, have tried everything I know, all the obvious stuff....Maybe time to cancel that internet service at home!! No ROC, no fun! Oh wait, there's still online Poker!!!!!

[Pizza Man]

Only in the mornings and then again after lunch. If the boss out for a haircut then I'm good for about an hour!

[Zemog]

Don't have to worry about it. There are some advantages to being retired. :D

[1manparty]

Yes, whenever possible! ;)

[larryr]

Guilty, oh I was trying to find a solution to a problem - sorry Boss

[iROC]

No, not me. I look forward to the ride home!

[Truckin']

I rarely get on the net at work because it's dial up. BOO. I don't hang out at the office if I'm not doing work. Every once in a while I get stood up and I don't have paperwork that I need to catch up on. That's the rare occasion that I might get on and take a peek. It's much more pleasant to surf at home on broadband.

Oops, I work from home too, so I guess I do get on the ROC while at work. I don't have to watch over my shoulder though. I'm the boss.

[Toobuku]

Assuming you mean on the computer, I do sometimes in between classes when I am not instructing or assisting. :)

[Oddjob]

I would if I could, but we are very, very limited as to what we can look at. But I'm looking into an aircard and will take the laptop to work and then I can look at what ever I want.:) :D

[jaiden]

Occaisionally. Like most, my internet usage is tracked. But I'm sure I could twist it to a legitimate excuse somehow since I work for Honda!! ;)

[ridgeln]

Hmmm - yes... I do at work. Will I admit it to anyone else? Nope. Addicted? Probably. I try to limit my access to "lunch time" when we are "allowed" to use the computers for personal use (school teacher) - but as the tech guy/AV director, I can always say I'm testing bandwidth use and/or access to outside the district network.

[justdeefire]

:cool: I am at work for 24 hrs minimum at a time so I definitely ROC at work.

[justpar1]

When business is slow...I'll hop on the keyboard to check some of the threads. Other employees look over my shoulders and laugh, since I join ROC. I just brush it off, because I know who's going to have the last laugh.....Crap...got to go...Boss is coming over! :eek: :D

[scottIN]

Yep. If I could figure out how to bill my ROC my hourly rate that I bill clients, I would be a lot better off.:) I could max out this truck with the amount of time I spend on here (perhaps TMac would like to pay my hourly rate? :))

Actually, I spend so much time on hold anymore with my suppliers I can normally work through all the new posts every couple of hours while I'm on hold.

[kdogofjtown]

YES I DO. Last week I had a meeting scheduled with a rep. and he showed up while I was reading threads. We ended up talking about the Rigdeline for about 20 minutes instead of the boring meeting topic.

[CUinaRidge]

How Many ROC'ers are at work this weekend??

Working Sat & Sun here!! :eek:

:)

[Truckin']

CU, ooch. I hope you find some holiday cheer during your work duties. I know there are many people who are required to work for vital support systems or to simply satisfy those of us who don't plan ahead and allow more people have a break (c-store employees, for example).

I'm spoiled. I'm off until the 2nd. It's good to be the boss.

[ridged]

How Many ROC'ers are at work this weekend??
I'll be working my normal schedule which includes Saturday (my last work day each week) from 5 PM - 6 AM, and then I'll likely sleep away a good portion of Christmas day, an unfortunate result of working the night watch.

[CUinaRidge]

ROC'in at work today!!

Computers have to run 24-7!!

Anyone else??

:D

:D

Don't work too hard today CUinaRidge, We are all thinking of hard working people like you. Happy Holidays too....

[Erock40]

ABSOLUTELY!!... if I didn't i really would go crazy:)

[Oddjob]

I got paged to come in and work Christmas Eve? But I turned it down does that count? But for the most part I work M-F 8 - 430, Holidays off. That will change after the new year as they are extending our hours to 5 PM. But it is overtime..... Great kinda like a raise.

[rtboy1961]

I look all the time from work. The computer is much faster. If I could get those stupid Ventilator alarms to leave me alone....

[CUinaRidge]

15 minutes to Eastern Happy New Year...

ROC'n at work again...

:D
