Where do you MyLot?

Where do you MyLot most often? Is it at home, at work, at school, over a friend's, at the library, on your phone...? I used to only MyLot from home but now I have been doing it at work mostly. We are not really supposed to because we are not allowed to participate in any programs that are money-makers while at work, but I choose to look past that and see it as more of a forum community and not really making much money from it anyway. How about you? If you surf MyLot at work, is it something that is technically prohibited? Or do you not MyLot at work? Share your habits. : )

LOL yeah I know people at work who play streaming games, which is strictly phohibited and other thigns as well, and they've worked here for years without reprimand, and my manager doesn't really care what we do online, but in our company policies it states we are not supposed to go to money-making websites, among other things...

Lucky for us I guess that they have yet to write that into the policy. It's still generally to busy in the day for others to get to go online.. I however have lots of time waiting for the phone to ring so I feel I must to something to keep me busy and awake.. :-)

I myLot from home. I've always done that and if I can't do it from home, I don't. Now, I'm a stay at home mom and it's easier. But while I was working, it was difficult. No one stops us from mylotting at work...but I don't do it. It's like an unsaid rule. And anyways, I don't think it's right to do it at the workplace (now don't give me a verbal bashing those of you who do...this is just my opinion for myself and I'm not judging anyone). Besides that, I have so much work at the workplace that I used to bring work home...so you can imagine...I wouldn't have had the time to myLot even if I wanted to.

I understand but at my work it's so slow so much of the time we have so much downtime. I am transferring to another location in April and will not have any time to MyLot from there.

Most of the time I do it at home. But sometimes when I have to sit after office hours, I do it just to pass the time if there is no work.

I do a little of both. At home. At work. Luckily my boss is well aware of it. He even asks me at times to come on and find an answer to a question. Most bosses however, will fire you in a red hot second for not using work equipment for work related issues.

Well, I access mylot from different places. I spend a lot of time at work, so I mostly access mylot at work lol. There's no policy that forbids us to participate any working online program in my institution, so yes, I'm free to use it I also use my phone for mylotting, anyways, especially when I'm off from work.

I do myLot at home, only at home. It is not allowed to do online activities not related to the work at my work place. So, I could come on to myLot only in the evenings after I get back home from work. That's on the week days. I get more time on myLot over the weekends and holidays, ofcourse. But, in any case, I do not miss a day to be on myLot, except when I am travelling.

I can only access MyLot at home now. I used to check it once in a while at work when I wasn't busy and had a little free time but a few people were spending hours on Facebook everyday so they ended up blocking all social networking sites and MyLot got included in the group. Too bad too because I'm not able to spend as much time here as I would like now. I have to find more time in the evenings but I usually try and catch up on the weekends.

Hi, Bethany. I do myLot regularly from both home and at work. Upon arrival to the office in the morning, I regularly check the site for any comment to discussions that I have started and most importantly, check my earnings. It only takes a few minutes then I log out. During our one-hour lunch break, I visit myLot again and post comments. We are allowed to use the internet for personal use during breaks and after office hours. I am usually at myLot as soon as I get home; stop for supper and back to myLot again.

I work at a bank and our branch is pretty slow so we get lots of downtime... So I have to occupy myself somehow!

I like to mylot from my home computer but I hope to save up enough money to buy a netbook so that I can take my mylotting on the road. Mylot is more productive than playing solitaire so I would rather have employees engaging others rather than playing a mindless game.

The only place that's safe, my home. You don't know if someone's installed a keylogger on another computer or someone secretly watching your hands typing your password.

Hi Bethany. I do all my mylotting from home. I'm just a stay at home mom so I don't do it from work as I don't have a (paying) job and my cell phone doesn't have Internet access so I can't mylot from there even if I wanted to. I have to say though I don't think I'd want to as I like having a full size (or as close to it) keyboard and screen to mylot on. I want to say, be careful not to get caught when mylotting at work. Just because you see past it as more of a forum community than a paying site doesn't mean your boss will. But don't worry, I won't tell, so your secret is safe with me! LOL Happy mylotting!

I am usually at home when I mylot. I have been known to take my laptop out to places that offer free Wi-Fi access and work on mylot while I am relaxing there, but my laptop has been broken for some time now, so I am stuck doing mylot at home for now...

most of the time, at work, in the office. we have wifi connection here so even those with laptops can do their own business online. i can also do it at home with my phone but i find it more expensive. but here in the office, at least the connection is free. just do the work, the official work first, before mylot, and never let someone caught you doing it. lol

Hello my friend Bethany1202 Ji, Well, I do only at home. I have my desk-top at my home and Lap tops with both of my sons, living far away from us, and equipped with Internet facilities. So, when I am with them , I will do from their Lap-Top and when I am at my home, with my desk top. But mostly I am with my sons. In case I would have been working Lady, I would not have preffered to mak emy working time utilised for myLotting. It is against my habit. I think, this way I cheating myself at the end, and I may have to pay heavily at the end. This is my habit. May God bless You and have a great time.
