Is it because most of us are unemployed that we hang out here that much. How much time do we spend on WP ?

I'm rarely on here at all. Busy with other sites. Starting to make a point of coming here more often. But I do work.

I'm a full-time student but I don't work as hard at it as I should.

I do freelance work but haven't done any for a while now.

But I don't spend that much time on here compared to some other sites.

Too much time. And I find this place quite addicting.

Well I'm working full time - 7.00am to 6pm and I don't get paid overtime - then I go home to my family and don't get to spend time on the computer ... but I still manage to post heaps... what's everyone else's excuse?

I'm unemployed at the moment and use this website as an excuse for not writing my thesis. ;p

I leave the 'net on all day, and WP is one of the sites on my "regular visit" list (I usually post in a few threads about ASDs in General daily, as that's an interest of mine, and also some silly things on the "social"/"serious" boards). I go outside and work [on the property], but when I come back in the computer is still there; I do stuff around the house, I go and ponder over an obsession, but when I come back to my room, the 'net is still there.

This is the only place I talk to people (barring PM/e-mail); I can't talk to/interact with people out there.

Same HERE, pretty much, and I AM fully employed.

I come here everyday and I have a job. I work full time.


Only time I don't come here is if the internet connection is down or if I am on a trip.

I used to visit WP every evening but now I'm lacking time... I'm looking for a new job and help my son with his studies, so this all takes all my time. Now I visit it seldom.

I'm currently employed and work 8 hours each day. I don't come here to socialise though, but to just read about ASDs. It's also routine by now, I fear.

am come here out of routine,and due to being housebound most of the day and week,the laptop is also on all day for communicating with TTS when needed so always end up coming back to internet.

dont understand why some people complain about those who use internet a lot because it teaches things whether is a forum or website.

I admt I've been spending more time here in recent weeks than I normally do, ever since I quit my job at the newspaper. I'm freelancing right now, which is a nice way of saying I'm waiting for the phone to ring. So, I've been revisiting all of my usual online haunts more frequently. I even joined a few new ones. Once I get another graphics project to work on, then all of my attention will be on that and I'll leave all of you alone -- for a while. Then, like the plague, I'll be baaaack.

I just read once in the morning. How long it takes me depends on how many interesting threads I find, and how many I feel like replying to.
