I spend a few hours a day on this forum while at the job, and wondered there must be other people around the world who are undermining corporation efficiency going here.

and other thing, is anyone there who actually can play the game at work?

I'm 28 yrs old jurnalist who's, compared to FM, a rotation player in my newspaper.
I have a lot of free time while waiting for information or call, so i can actually play the game. I used to do it, but machine is a bit slow so i stopped.

ps writing about dead people, accidents, suicides, robbery and all other crimes really bugs me, and FM is my imaginary playground.

just wanted to share this
cheers.

Lucky bugger!!

Sadly, it's all open plan here, so that rules out playing at the office...

Going through these forums though does make me countdown till its time to go home, and take on another season ahh the joys of FM

I do spend a fair bit of time when it's quite at work on the forums (in fact I'm at work right now).

However I cannot currently get away with playing FM at work. In my last job though I was QA manager for a games company and when it was quiet, ie between one game going getting released and another game not quite ready for testing yet, i'd play a bit of FM in windowed mode. Happy days.

Not entirely sure why I kept typing 'quite' then when it should have blatently read 'quiet'

Where I work a few of us ALT + TAB whilst the boss passes us by.

Sometimes when we work weekends, some one will bring a laptop in or a desktop pc, so we can play at work when its quite.

I'm a nurse so I can't really play at work

(Though it doesn't stop me visiting here in my lunch breaks )

im on this board a bit at work, the colour of the boards is a bit like one of the programs i work in so its disguised pretty well.

Dont think I could get away with putting FM on my machine though, I like the job too much

I work for my Dad and my brother who have a sign and graphic shop, but my Dad is leaving in March too slow down abit so my brother will then be the sole owner of the business which he started. We work together in our workshop with seperate computers so I can scan the boards and the net and have the odd FM game running aslong as I get all my work out. But when our Dad leaves it will be even more laid back.
