whether you are just browsing, playing games, updating your profiles, making some money, how long do you stay just to finish them all?. my job maybe the good reason for me being on the internet the whole day. i spent like 14 hours a day. i usually open my blog and update it if possible, then go to the ptc sites and click some ads,then check my emails and after that i open my social networking accounts and update them and the rest just roaming around the internet and look for interesting stuff.

Hi rdsantos, I'm online 9 hours a day at the office as my work is through the internet, answering mails and sending correspondents. I often have time to visit my social networking accounts, chatting with friends, except during the days when I have to do my reports. Personal internet usage is not prohibited in our office as long as work is prioritized and be done on time. Good Day!

Hi rdsantos, I always feel bored with my job when I'm done with my deadlines but it was before I've come to know mylot. My job is routinary that I can finish it only with half of my day at the office. The rest of the day will pass only with visiting my social networking accounts and just recently part of it is mylotting. And now, I'm beggining to enjoy my job as it gives me more time to widen my mylot experience. I'm a busy housewife and a mom-to-be at home that I don't have time to do my online activities. Good Day!

yes, it's not block or ban in our office. you just have to prioritize your work and not to abuse the use of the internet.

Dear friend, The main priority is upon the necessity and urgency. The aspects like my mood, my time, my pleasure, browsing and other interests comes secondary.

Most of the time I'm here on mylot or just looking for interesting stuff. What I've found is that you need to know some interesting sites before you head out to surf otherwise yopu might find youself bogged down to a particular circle on the net. Although I doubt there are not many more sites that do interesting things other than play games or socialize.

If I'm home, chances are I'm on the internet. IF it's not facebook or xbox live chances are I'm talking to someone on AIM. And of course I'm usually downloading some music or watching something on youtube in my spare time as well.

hi rdsantos^^;; i think everybody is on the same boat here. I spend 5-6hours for my regular online job and 6-8 hours just surfing or doing some stuffs over the net including mylotting. sometimes, i got tired to this routine but there's nothing i can do. it's already part of my daily activity..

I get up and get a drink and then start the computer up. I play a few games that I get paid for first and then I bring up at least 3 pages. I multi-task as it is the only way I can even get a few of my things done. I open one with my facebook and one for here, one for the news and then my email. I cant really tell you how long Im on thou, as I said the computer is on all day but I clean house and do other things and then come back here for a break and do email, mylot or whatever Im working on. I also have a 2 year old so whenever she wants mommy I cuddle or play with her too.

Same as you, my job is the main reason why I used internet almost everyday for more than 10 hours a day. I'm handling online reservations in our 3 hotel properties. So from time to time, I need to check the site if there is a new booking. So, during my spare time when there's no reservation I used to visit some networking site like friendster or facebook, mylot and my earning site. Sometimes, I just feel like surfing anything like news, job hunting, etc. Well, there are so many things we can learn with the use of internet. It's up to us on what kind of learnings that we want to learn.

I worked in the office 8 hours a day, for the working time, I only do my business contents, and after off work, I will spend around 3 hours to post my discussion on mylot, and it's very meaningful.

I spend like 10-12 hours. Chatting with friends, playing games and just surfing for tutorials for softwares. Among all those activities, I like to discuss in Mylot most. It is very interesting to me. I have got lots of friends in Mylot already within 2 weeks after joining. As in my office social networking sites, Forums and chatting not allowed I do not use Internet from my office, so whenver I am at home I always remain connected.

thats great, and yeah most company doesn't allow any social networking sites since it may hinder productivity. do you still have time to rest? it's like you work the whole day plus doing stuff on the internet that makes you restless.(lol) thanks for the rep.
