Is the boards addictive

    I think I'm getting addicted to the boards, i cant stop going on when i am supposed to be looking for a job, every time i go online to look at job vacancy's etc i end up here.
    when i go to the supermarket i end up forgetting to buy a vital ingredient because I'm mulling over some post or another from here.

    So if anyone knows of a job where i can get paid and go on the boards all day let me know.
    obviously the civil service is out cause they are not recruiting :)

    "Where's your homework? wait.. ARE YOU ON THE BOARDS AGAIN????"

    god i hope it passes after a while, yesterday i was supposed to do a lot of stuff about the house, in garden, after 6 hours the missus comes home to find one half assembled piece of ikea furniture ...eh you see i was...well i kind did the dish's..... then i move tha cardboard from the corner to the door... and eh..went on the boards.

    now im sitting here, having been on since 8 this morning, just having my breakfast and contemplating should i have a shower and brush my hair , since in all likelihood i don't have anywhere to go today

    Any addiction involving a mouse and a keyboard is pretty sinister I think.

    Unless it's a mouse who's addicted to playing keyboard, that'd just be crazy cool.

    The boards? Would you use it like this:

    'I think I've caught the boards!'

    Later, after spending time in Fashion & Accessories:

    'I think I've caught the ghey!'

    showing the 20 most recent posts on the home page is fiendish. Reading all sorts of stuff about things I've no involvement in. plus, leave it 2 minutes and refresh and you've a whole new list.

    nothing but crack dealers is TheBoards!!

    it facilitates my proctrastination like you wouldn't believe!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 425 ✭✭daithicarr

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 732 ✭✭✭scarymoon1

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Dude, boards is like totally safe, I used to smoke it all the time but now I hook up the cat5 direct to my vain yo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    If I didnt have boards in work I would be bored out of my box.
    So from 9-5, Mon-Thurs, yes Im addicted.

    Yes it is. Very addictive. When it goes offline I have mini panic attacks in between checking for new tweets from boards to see whats happening.
