Waiting patiently for the first disturbing and mentally scarring comment.

Wasting all my time on Archinect, damn this site, and still billing it to the job I'm SUPPOSED to be working on.

I'm a terrible person. Why can't I focus?!

Take 15-20 min naps in the bathroom stall.

Sarah, you're hooked. It's clearly happened to us all.

mmmmm...interns

Sarah, that was my answer too. We're not terrible, really.

Oh, and I shop online for shoes sometimes.

Hmmm.....I wonder what a client would say about billing for Archinect, can I put it under Phase I Prelem. Design and call it research?

Why is it we girls like shoes so much? And uncomfortable ones at that?

I bill my archinect time under code, zoning & materials research.

If your office has "professional development", then problem solved.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned "looking at porn" yet. so i guess i'm the perv in the group. oh well.

i wish i could take interns home, haha......at work, im guilty of archinecting and reading the news and whatnot online

at studio, we would sometimes take out our aggression on various inanimate objects...it got pretty bad sometimes

nice phreak. the firm i work at has an I.T. dept that filters porn (not that i would know from experience), all streaming media (no youtube or equal), and "dating and personals" sites (like myspace). a few types of streaming media work, like NPR's digital archives. I've listened to at least half of all "This American Life" episodes ever recorded, including their first broadcast (the show used to be called "Your Radio Playhouse")...

to answer the original post - archinect is the only thing i do that i maybe should do less. but i get my stuff done, even if it means working a bit later...

I listen to "This is Why I'm Hot" by the Mims.

Thats one thing no one should ever do. Ever.

agreed

Turning off the Google Image Filter.....

look for other work

we hide chocolate chip cookies from my boss ... i know the boss buys the cookies but we all want them... and he is gettin fat

Once, at school, I taped a bagel with meat in it to the underside of a desk to see how long it would take people to notice the smell.

But that was jr. high. I don't think I've done anything nearly as entertaining since then.

I pick my nose at work. Frequently.

watch all the tv shows I missed/didn't bother to watch since I can use the superspeed office internet connection to view them online

namby

I used to put open cans of tuna fish in the dropped ceilings at school

sex in the broom closet

namby

everytime I see your name, I think of man/boy love

"sex in the broom closet"

with the broom?

AP - where do you find the archives from This American Life? I have looked over and over for them and I can't find free ones.

I archinect it up often and I check out celebrity gossip (lame, I know) at work. There is no justifying my need for a breaking news story on Paris Hilton; I'm so ashamed.

when i worked at Busch Gardens as
a cook, my coworkers and i used
to close the shop the resturaunt
down and then go fill trash bags
up with candy and ice-cream and
stuff and take it home

i worked at as a waiter and bartender during college...and would often steal steak and fish from the walk-in cooler. take 'em home, big time cookouts for the roommates. everyone loves a free steak.

Philarct, I've noticed you have a haiku-ness to all your posts. Did you know there is an official archinect haiku thread? You might enjoy it.

Yes!!! I'm connected to the voice of Ira Glass. My afternoon will fly by. Thank you, AP.

PS. I saw the new TV version of This American Life the other night. And for the first time, I saw Ira's face. I had been avoiding any google image search of his face for years. I feel like the mystery is gone. I feel so cheated.

like warhol said, "buying is more american than thinking, and i'm about as american as they come". therefore, i dont waste time, i spend time, solidifying my love for all things american, including freedom, which many non-americans hate and want to devalue in the form or terrorism. therefore, i am fighting terrorism by spending time on the internet.

you're welcome

imus in the morning!

google chat, shopping, reading thesuperficial.com, geekologie.com,
read news... steal office supplies, email my neighbor about the budding office romances we are observing... eat bagles.

i spend most of my day on here, and get paid for it, with my boss helping me find fucked up shit to look at on the internet.

remind me why i'm going back to school?!? ha.

oh, and i've heard every single this american life episode, maybe twice. some of them thrice!!!

mdler, i did the same thing with a tin of sardines

upside

you had sex in a broom closet with a tin of sardines??? kinky!!!!

Eating Girl Scout cookies wist downing a cold one.....while on archinet

oohhhhhh btw...."What happens in our office stays in our office."

heartburn, snooker?

i am guilty of hitting the refresh button on archinect.com several times in a row to check for updates.

oh god, how did you know?!

nah, left the sardines above a first year studio

also accidently left about 120 empty choc milk cartons in a box inside the studio over the summer. we were trying to win a jet ski. the off milk smell after 3 months of 35c days was hurl inducing.

super beatle dud- "Turning off the Google Image Filter....."

I love to do that. Its like a game in this office. The most harmless word becomes a whole new word with the images that pop up.

I was looking for pictures of nuns to place in a model one day (we have a religious project....), turned off the filter, Oh my Lawd!.

elvischyld, I attended a live interview celebrating 20 years of Fresh Air. Ira Glass was interviewing Terry Gross. He's about 6'-4", she's about 5'-0".

They were sitting on the stage in these two matching wood/upholstered armchairs and my god, their size difference was so exaggerated by the relationship to the same furniture!!

They looked like they belong to different species.

Oh and archasm, since you admitted it I will too....I read thesuperficial.com every day.

(...watches everyone's level of respect drop to nil.)

we used to change the links of icons on the desktop of our friends computers...we would link the AutoCad icon to porn, for example, so that when the professor came to their desk for a crit and they went to open AutoCad, porn would open instead

We also used to drop 2 liter bottles of soda down 6 flights of stairs...the stairwell got pretty sticky

I used to sit next to a girl who used to listen to The Muffs and talked about them all the time. So I decided to image search them to see what the band looked like. Of course, since I turned the image filter off, guess what I had a full screen of. What was I thinking?

I just tried it....not as bad as I imagined. My favorite image: 'muffs in cuffs'- you be the judge as to what it was a picture of...

God bless the internet, al gore and america....

Liberty Bell - I am having a torrid love affair with the voice of Terry Gross.

And, for the record, I compulsively read thesuperficial, too.
