Complaint! It's Your Fault!

I get out of my scratcher at, around 0930, every day.

First thing, I do, is grab a coffee and log in to O.F.F.

Just a few minutes, I think, before I start doing all of the daily grinds, like cleaning, pot washing, etc.

Trouble is, I never get through all of the O.F.F Chit Chat quickly enough to allow me to move on to those jobs.

"Whose fault is that?" I hear you shout.

Yes, it's all YOUR Fault!

All of these interesting posts, competitions, FUN!

Wouldn't have been allowed back when I had to communicate with a Morse Key!

Re: Complaint! It's Your Fault!

Fair point Ted. Mind you, we are blessed with a relatively small number of regular posters. Have joined some forums in the past with thousands of members all posting at once. If you make one comment, unless you bookmark it, you'll find it really hard to find it again yet alone follow what's going on.

Same here Ted. I always plan to have a quick shuftie with me scratcher before moving on to the day's jobs but I spend far to much time here. Oh look! It's 11:44 already.

I purposefully try not to sign in during the day on weekdays or I’ll never get my works done

Whereas I purposely sign in to give me just the distraction I need in order to avoid the mundane.

No, it's NOT our fault at all. We're not forcing you to switch on your computer/tablet/whatever. It's all down to you having contracted a severe case of FOMO I reckon

FOMO??

Fear of missing one? Yep, it's a dreaded disease on this forum.
