Anyone ever feel guilty spending too much time on your computer?

CHOUT · 11.30.2006, 04:08 PM

I'm sitting here going back and forth between two message boards...completely unmotivated to get off my ass and do something.

Well I guess it's better than watching TV, since you get to practice typing...

Indeed. I troll job ads during this time to justify burning daylight in this fashion.

blastscenealibi · 11.30.2006, 04:13 PM

I'm on 2 boards, too. But I never feel guilty.

EMMAh · 11.30.2006, 04:13 PM

I do the exact same thing. Sometimes I try to watch TV but end up doing something else half way through what I'm watching.
I never intend to spend so much time on the computer, it just happens. Actually, I should probably shut this piece of shit down cause I'm getting picked up in a few minutes and need to get ready.

!@#$%! · 11.30.2006, 04:28 PM

guilty? of what?

gmku · 11.30.2006, 04:48 PM

only when the boss walks by...

Danny Himself · 11.30.2006, 05:26 PM

Not really. I do a lot on the computer. I learn AND play.

Tokolosh · 11.30.2006, 06:04 PM

I try to keep a balance between cyber space and reality, and I think I'm doing just fine.

Haha...I don't even do that. I find it way too depressing. I don't feel guilty as such but I hate that feeling that CHOUT seems to be familiar with where you are just flicking between a few boards not really posting anything and completely unable to get of your arse.

porkmarras · 11.30.2006, 06:16 PM

Spending time on my computer(as if i have a choice since i work on the internet) makes me a nicer person in real life.

Yep, the thing is I think I am compulsive in thinking I always have to be doing something productive...I rarely feel fine with sitting around, unless I just have had a busy day - doesn't help that I work nights so I don't always get to see my friends since I got to work when they are getting home.

CHOUT · 11.30.2006, 08:58 PM

Diesel, now I'm fully convinced you are a pirate.

Inhuman · 11.30.2006, 09:20 PM

I'm doing the same as the first 3 of you! Browsing 2 message boards and browse job ads. I'm in front of the computer at least 10 hours a day anyway, so I'm used to it.

schizophrenicroom · 11.30.2006, 09:31 PM

yeah. i don't spend too much time on it nowadays, but back a few months ago i spent three or four hours daily doing mostly nothing. i felt horrible about it.

You get used to it if it's your career, although I wouldn't imagine it's the healthiest thing. 10 hours used to kill me and now it's a piece of cake for me

Everyneurotic · 12.01.2006, 12:19 PM

not anymore since it's a big part of my dayjob now.

jon boy · 12.01.2006, 01:08 PM

the internet is bigger than tv now. both of them are bigger than jesus.

h8kurdt · 12.01.2006, 02:29 PM

Yeah sometimes, especially if I'm not doing anything, but i'm putting some cds on me iPod so I don't feel as bad.

lucyrulesok · 12.01.2006, 03:21 PM

Yeah, I definitely do...

king_buzzo · 12.01.2006, 03:30 PM

im on a few forums and they're all fun
