I recently got promoted at my job. I used to do alot of paper work, but I've been growing up and now came into a position that I do projects to improve the processes around the corporation.

Since I implement new processes and automate stuff, the engineers who are to learn from them, takes time at the learning curve, so in the meantime I have lots of time to do whatever I want, connecting by:

• VNC From mobile to my desktop to play EVE
• LogMeIn from Laptop to my desktop to play EVE
• Using my 3G mobile as a wifi hotspot to use 3G and access API information for EVEHQ to play with it
• Forum trolling
• Chatting with corp mates


I even took the time to make a list with bullets!

LOL.


Am I a bad person?
Have you done something like these at job? Twisted


(Please company CEOs, no fire Roll)

Diretor, you can no see me on eve forums >: D

I've been browsing the forums for nine hours waiting for a virtual install to boot correctly.


Waste time however you want.

You spent 6.75 hours on a passive Dominix fitting? That's dedication...

By the way: writing this from work.

I usually browse forums and do EFT while at work. I have my own office and i am rarely bothered by others.

I don't know, but, it feels wrong to start playing eve in there. Maybe next week...

Occassionally browsing the forums as a stress relief during work hours. It's like getting coffee, smoking or checking world news...

It's an implied benefit of those who get internet access at my workplace and as long as I don't overdo it my conscience is clear.

I also have my notebook with me to sweeten the time I have to watch server reboots tonight with some EVE, though I will not write down every hour of that.

Wow, @2 replies above, that's just the same thing for me, I don't get disturbed that much and just as @Aldan Romar said, If you don't overdo it, you keep your conscience clear :D

In a given week I do about 15 minutes of real, actual, work.

No, you aren't a bad person.

How wonderful that you are in a service industry or corporate environment where you manipulate symbols. When i'm working i can't use any screen type technology and before that i was in a factory where even fiddling with a phone could drag production numbers down. The fresh air and actually doing something was good for the soul though. Any work i've done in an office was better money, but i could feel it dissolving my spirit.

tl;dr: You're only a bad person if it matters how much time you waste.

I play EvE and do market deals while working on my second monitor, i bought the second one for "work" (it does help but EvE fits on it better.)
