I spend way too much sitting around in airplane hangars in oddball locations around the world, just waiting for someone to ask me a question. We used to just play cards, or read, or b.s. I guess we still do all of that, but now the internet has been added to the mix. Sometimes, other than the rest of my team, it's can be the only connection I have to English speaking people. We need to be there, in our tech support role, but there is often precious little for us to actually do. Kind of like a fireman, I would imagine.

As a Boeing employee, I feel I have to address Bob's comment made on the first page of this thread. He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. The Boeing company monitors all computer usage, right down to every single key stroke - it would be impossible to get away with what he accuses for long. We are all aware of cases where folks have been suspended or fired for that kind of activity.
