I suppose work from home counts too. I bet we have a few dozen using company bandwidth for their daily dope fix. I’d do it if I could. ---

I do. It makes the slow days bearable. And on the busy/stressful days, it breaks up the craziness and makes me smile. ---

I post almost exclusively from work. I used to swear I’d never do it, but that was until I got a cushy slow-moving office job. I still feel guilty a lot, but not enough to stop. ---

I still feel guilty a lot, but not enough to stop. Exactamundo. Unless there’s a particularly interesting or heated discussion going on, I don’t even check in after work because I’ve already read everything. ---

Chalk up another theif of company time and resources. Hell, I think one time I posted during a telephonic appellate argument. ---

I still feel guilty a lot, but not enough to stop. Yeah, the guilt gets to me sometimes too, and I try not to let the boss see me posting here, but it doesn’t stop me. ---

I work at a job where I do 50% of my work the first 7 to 10 days of each month. What am I suppose to do the rest of the time? ---

Even more now that I know my time here may soon come to an end. Between the dope and job hunting, it’s a wonder I get any work done at all. ---

I feel bad, but eh…if I had more interesting work to be doing, I’d do that instead of reading SDMB all day. ---

It can be a good way to refresh one’s mind, that’s for sure. And I sometimes learn stuff that’s helpful on the job. ---

Exclusively. That’s all The Dope is to me. . .a work time-killer. If I had a job where I couldn’t post, you’d never see me again. At home. . .I got better shit to do than get on the internet. ---

YUP!! I’m using office bandwidth to read and post on the Dope! And since it’s YOUR tax dollars funding this bandwidth, I’d like to take a second to thank everyone here for making it possible. THANKS EVERYONE!! ---

Almost exclusively. I don’t have much time outside of work for this nonsense. Of course, I always have the lingering fear that someone in senior management will come down with a folder that includes my time spent on the internet. Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do. And when you gotta go… ---

No posting, hell, I don’t even sign in. I have no interest in informing the overlords of my _nom du net_. Just call me paranoid. Do I swap over for a read whist waiting for the web based work systems to grind up into alertness? Hell yeah! 🆒 ---

I do, but I don’t do it during “work hours”. Right now I’m on my lunch, so I usually read and post during this time period. If traffic cooperates in the morning, I usually have about 15 minutes to take in the sights, as well. ---

I post from work every day. I’m not sneaking - there’s literally nothing else going on right now. My absence from SDMB means I’m busy at work. ---

Hi there! Surfing the Dope from work helps keep me awake and the bosses don’t really mind as long as I meet my quota. ---

Uh, yeah. In addition, I send coworkers links to interesting threads, and I’ve asked for work-related advice here. I think it’s fair to say that SDMB is an integral part of my work day, and that my office ought to be paying for my subscription. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-dopers-post-from-work/353627.md?page=2)
