well, i do login at work a good bit... while running my bioinfo queries on my genome... but easily got carried away... before the days of forumming, i kill those times by doing crosswords... so imagine now, forumming AND crosswords while working!

me too heading off.. to dreamland.... night!

[Sila]

actually also forgot - the new hobby of anagramming... seriously taking over all my brain facilities... :D

me too me too - and it works well to solve anagrams at work because can copy down the anagram and let it percolate in your brain while you work (and afterwards can crumple up and toss the post it note once the anagram is solved and posted) - get rid of the evidence!! :D

[Sila]

me too heading off.. to dreamland.... night!

back to slowtime and alonetime for me... just got back from dial up land, didn't bring my laptop as it would've taken too much to just log on. getting to be such a snob - rather be offline and scream and scream at my laptop while it takes its time to load a page ;)

[ahbau]

so i play with words (or stuffs involving words)...

texttwist, whatword? etc...?
