Title: How many others are supposed to be working
Post by: vornar on August 08, 2005, 07:18:18 pm: I was just wondering how many people used "company time" and "company resources" to fuel their arcade addictions. How many people can get away with doing artwork. I personally scan the boards everyday before starting real "work".
Also company printers come in real handy....

Any comments....

Gotta love how human beings can rationalize anything....

Post by: Effayy on August 10, 2005, 08:37:36 am: Heh, same here.. I usually don't put off work for the forums, but if I'm particularly frustrated with something that just isn't working right, I take a step back and read through the boards to give myself a few minutes away from the problem.

I used to go downstairs and smoke when the situation occurred, so technically this is better for my health, and not wasting any more time than I normally would anyway. :)

Post by: greywolf22 on August 13, 2005, 03:52:13 am: speaking of this, do any of you remember when games came with Boss keys...was ALT-B or something, where it would throw up a bogus spreadsheet, or document...whatever happened to those :D
Title: Re: How many others are supposed to be working
Post by: toolaa on August 13, 2005, 09:29:29 am: That's what prompted my post. I remember MAC games in the early 90's had the Alt-B but I never recall seeing a similar feature on any PC games.
