Well, the problem is that management held up my productivity. And instead of owning that, and letting me catch up, they used that as a scapegoat.

Well I can understand it from an employers point of view; they don't pay you so you can hang out on RAF (although that would be awesome).

At my old job I was a RAFaddict and I (luckily) wasn't busted, but I do feel bad now for doing it. I work for my dad now so there's so way I'm gonna waste his time like that.

How'd they know you were on RAF?

And how's it all going now? :)

I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would also be happy without them."

Well, as it's Satur/Sunday, it's not going. ;D

I work inside of a school, and the IT department has records.

Lucky you, only half an hour of Sunday left for me :(

Ahh so you can't just hit 'delete history'. Hmm that's no good. Well, I think you're gonna be fine. :)

Oh yeah, I'll be good. As long as I resist temptation. I deleted RAF from my Favorites/bookmarks, so it's not so easy to just go there.

Leechblock.  I've installed it.  I'm setting it up today.  

 :'( :'(

In a somewhat similar situation, except

a) not works rules, but personal ones.  I want to totally own the Japanese language, and hanging out in English isn't going to help.  As much fun as it is.

b) I don't have to completely cut back, just limit time.

Oh man, I'm sorry Parker.  Corporate rules really suck sometimes.  A friend of mine who works for a big medical billing place got busted because she had been using something like 32 minutes of non-work related internet a day.  And she has a thirty minute break, non-paid.  THAT was pretty extreme. 

Oh well...you could always get a phone that has the internet?  Oh god, I'm bad, I know :)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that, Parker.  I can kind of understand it, though, that employers want you to use your time wisely.

Well, you know what they say.  The first step to conquering your addiction is to admit that you have a problem.

Oh gawd.  I'm gonna be screwed when I get a job, aren't I?

Haha, yeah. I have a phone that can go on-line, it's just paying for the accessibility that's the problem. :-\

Hi Parker! 

I'm Tara, RAFaholic AND RAFaddict...  ;D  You get your silver RAFaholics Anonymous chip just for being here, and having a desire to stop RAFing!

We all know we're screwed! XD
