Default Hasn't anyone wondered?

Having surfed this site on and off for the last 3 months, hasn't anyone ever wondered how working people manage to surf and write updates to this forum when they are at work? Surely if one was at work and doing sufficiently well despite what they are paid, there is no time apart from the lunchtime to post forum messages. From reading, it seems that there are a handful (if that) of people who are not students that manage to hold down a full time job and write random stuff on this forum.
How does one achieve that and gain their employers trust that you are indeed working and not fully slacking for the entire day on this website. Personally I'm so busy doing my own work and other people's work who are incidentally majorly slacking that the only time is in the evening to surf the internet.


I was just wondering how it is possible??? Unless everyone else is complete skivving!

Surely, someone, that doesn't seem fair???

It may also be more fun than talking to someone in the office! Which is proven to have a beneficial effect on productivity
