Sorry about the lazy B comment I grew up not too far from the 747 plant in the 80s. My engineer friends have also been very clear that unauthorized usage of computers is a pretty big no no at Boeing. Contrast that with working in the video game industry where games come first... We get emails occasionally from our IT dept asking people to cut down on the tv streaming! Thought it was pretty funny the first time I saw one of those emails go out.

On another sports car site, a mid-thirties guy had 77,000 posts since joining in 2005. 23-plus posts a day average over 9 years...

If 99% of his posts are political rants and half of 'em are pics of a crying baby, then we "might" have had the PLEASURE of his acquantance here a few years back . His last reincarnation here was at an even higher posts/day ratio however

If I am that busy at work, something bad has happened. My job is to make sure everything is working smoothly.

Last night though I was using the VPN from 12:00 to 1:40 am because an update to our management system that was applied yesterday afternoon reset some fundamental stuff that wasn't touched somehow and the repercussions his just before midnight. How an update for one part sets an unrelated part back to defaults is puzzling.

Sorry Jeff - I stand corrected and admoinshed. I ride with a lot of Boeing people (snow and m/c) that are on the internet during their work day. Dunno if they or on their own devices or company hardware. Was just an observation, never mention it again.

So, if posting from my post about how much I post in a post modern posture does that make me a post whore?
