Subject: Do you ever find yourself at work and.........

look up an hour later and your are still on BT.com and havent started working yet? Or if its not BT.com just something that has to do with Triathlons, Triathlon training, online shopping for Triathlon clothes or gear, etc?? That would be me.....this morning. Has that ever happened to anyone else or is it just me?

 Why cant you just get paid for being a Triathlete?? I mean at least an avergare or beginner one....... Laughing

You mean this isn't part of my work duties??

My theory is that because we are mostly Type A personalities, that we get our work done more efficiently, so we have the extra time to play around on the computer.

Yep, I do the same each morning. I get to the office around 6:50 am, post hear and there for 30 minutes or so, then start working. After that, I check back in throughout the day. My mind is consumed with the thoughts about training that day, so BT is how I keep it in check.

I just spent the last 30 minutes loading the past few months of my training log. I still can not figure out how to show what days are racing days, so I just put down the milage.

I see the button at the bottom, but can figure out how to drag or whatever. Anyone know how to show a race day, and log the miles at the same time?

I am the only one in my office that doesn't smoke. Therefore, I am the only one that doesn't spend 5-10 minutes every 1.5 hours out smoking. The boss used to catch me posting every once in a while and ask what I was doing. "Smoking." He hasn't said anything for a while.

I'm in high school, but I finished almost all of my "hard classes" during my first semester... so right now I come to school for a photography class and to be a teacher's assistant for one of my track coaches.
Between these two classes I sometimes spend a good 1.5-2 hours on BT a day...

Definitely.  I usually need some time in the morning to get in the work mindset and end up spending that time on BT.  Tends to happen after lunch for me too.  I can be productive and browse the web during the day.  I don't think I could only focus on work all day.
