Is it abnormal...

carnut · #1 06-25-2002, 12:41 AM

to spend so much time on these forums? I don't even watch TV anymore. I'll watch a few minutes of the news then get depressed by world events and turn into an internet junkie! Please tell me I'm normal!

I know I'm addicted to the internet. It's not in a good way, either.

I’m not as bad as I used to be. I used to post all day long at work, then race home and post more until pretty late at night, then get up and do the same thing again. Now I'm more restrained, I just post during the day at work and am rarely on at the weekend.

Im on alot, infact probably way too much.

During the school year, im on for probably 4-5hrs during the day (I love having a laptop, with fast internet access). I have been known to spend LOTS more time than that online, especially if I am having trouble sleeping. School year weekends, I usuially spend ~1 hr a day (usuially round midnight)

During these summer months, my online hours vary alot. I check in everyday, unless im camping. If I have the time, I usuially spend ~1hr day during the summer. If its rainy, or i have nothing else to do, then I spend WAY more time (4-6 hrs)

I'm using all of these forums as a crutch, because work is becoming really boring. I do service calls at customer locations all day long so can't be on the internet, although we do have internet access at the shop, it is monitored closely by the main server and the powers up above, so I don''t even bother. Like Spec said, I get up in the morning and surf the web for about an hour before going to work, and a couple hours per night and more!

Some Saturdays I just have to force myself out of the house to see the outside world, but then hurry home to the internet again.

Sundays are spent reading the MONSTER ISSUE of the Los Angeles Times newspaper, but other than that I AM AN INTERNET JUNKIE!

TerminalVelocity · #11 07-01-2002, 12:12 AM

I prob. spend an hour a day normally. 1.5 in holidays (supposedly now - but worked 4 days straight!). If I'm off for more than a day then I get withdrawal.

Ahh, another statistic.

I'm pretty bad as well. I tend to browse and post quite often. But now, it's like I don't even venture out anymore. Just post, post, post, post...........what was I talking about again?

I spend too much time. What sux is that I only get on when I am bored, and that is most of the time. I try and find other things to do but it doesn't seem to happen.

I only do it on days that I don't work though. On days that I work, I usually find better stuff to do before/after I go/leave (to) work.
