When boards.ie crashes

Does your employer reap the benefits of increased productivity?!!:D:D

kaimera

No.

I sit here hitting f5 till it comes back. In fact I do less work. Like there now.

I often don't have much to do in work anyway. So when boards goes down I just feel sad...

RubyXI

It keeps crashing. Panic attack. What am i supposed to do if i cant be on here? There's no way i'm actually gonna work.

Reku

Everytime Boards.ie crashes another hamster soul flutters it's way up to heaven, not sure what they put in the food/water the last few days, poor little tykes are keeling over in no time.:D

BaconZombie

No,

I start checking if it just a DB error or is the IP not reachable.....

i like this job allot so i very rarely use boards during work hours. when im in early, before i leave for work in the morning , during lunch, after work ends (before i go home) if there where good topics at lunch and when i get home.

Been busy so haven't been posting as much but on a boring day its a saviour !

Don1

Same as Kaimera tbh. Hate my job so would happily do that instead or work. Got up to 80 posts in here one day while avoiding work like the plague. Not good...............

cance

god no!

if i feel like my employer is getting any added value i generally just take a break!

Have you given your local BOFH a crate of Beer?

Mr. CooL ICE

I don't work, but if I did, I would probably just go to the toilet for a wánk instead

ha! Was gonna say that Irelands water usage must go through the roof when Boards goes down. How many litres per toilet flush is there?

I wondered about that. In my office most things are blocked - you tube, myspace etc, all the major sites and a lot of ones you've never heard of. But not boards.... Did the owners of boards pay offices to let their employees have access do you think?

BaconZombie

No,
It's just not of the "out-of-the-box" lists on filter systems.

I work in Australia so no Irish sites are blocked However, I do get very lonely when everyone's asleep back home. I even have to resort to working

FunkZ

I don't work so I suppose I'd just go to college.

Spud83

Normally go and visit another forum (:eek:) or trawl through the net (digg.com is always good to waste a half hour or an hour away)

If its late in the afternoon I'd normally say it screw it and go home.

Mr E

I blame Newstalk.

Jay P

I was late back to school because of the panic attack i had from not having posted for two days. I knew I should have posted yesterday. *shudder* Never again.

azezil

I tell the networking guys sitting beside me to fix it! >_<

TequilaMockingBird

I get paranoid.

Did I break teh boards..???

Dinter

In work I get a blue screen and an error message that says something about being "reset by peer".

As I don't understand it I quickly become paranoid that it's the IT department limiting my internet usuage.

So then I use my laptop instead!!

How much lost productivity is down to Boards.ie

You hardly use boards in work and you've got 5,000 posts + in 4 years!

Wow!!
