When do you have the most time on the forums?

Pops, I'm taking a page out of your new book: Polling people to Death :D Enjoy your stay here instead of your little 8 week training course. :p

BTW, I come here whenever possible, sometimes on weekends, especially when I am not on vacation and when I have class.

sunday has always been the most boring here

i live in a very small rural town (4,400) south of san jose and half of all the businesses are shut down on sunday

i have always liked jobs i have had in the past where i worked on sunday

My option wasn't there - never.

I haven't been bored since I was about 15. That summer I spent an entire summer vacation bored out of my mind - so bored, in fact, that I think I broke through boredom and out the other side.

Since then I've always been able to find *something* to do. It's got tricky recently, since I've been housebound with a smashed-up leg since the beginning of June, but I've discoovered that my new ability to sleep-on-demand helps a lot. If I feel I might be about to get bored, I lie on the bed and start reading a dry computer book (current fave is "Inside .NET IL Assembler") and within minutes I've nodded off.

By the time I wake up again, the incipient boredom attack is over. It probably helps that I have GAD and thus find everyday life far too exciting too begin with. What most people would consider boring I consider a pleasant break.

I haven't had a job for over a year, so I hope that's okay with you. No one is paying me to goof off.

I also don't have much need to do much other than school at the moment. I was a workaholic. :(

I usually get bored on the weekends when there aren't any new rumors and there aren't many people on the forums. If you are truly bored, check out bored.com (http://www.bored.com) for some boredom relie.

Pretty much every day, I like Friday and Monday because more people are on here. On major events like MW or a product annoucement I just go to IRC because the forums get so crowded.
