  9 1 I type ninety words a minute. And I have several thousand Slog comments already composed in my head, just waiting for the right article.

  5 1 There are many people who have jobs that involve sitting in front of a computer for most of the day. Some of these people don't really have all that much work to do and thus spend the time watching netflix, listening to podcasts of lectures, or writing numerous slog comments. Many of these people have high paying jobs and snicker at people who do actual work all day. They will never be laid off. stinkbug answered in Whatever over 2 years ago | Report 10 comments by NGC1275, Rock Jocelyn, and freikja… 0 0 LIKE ME! NGC1275 commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I'll have you know that that is my job pretty much to the T, except that I don't watch netflix or get paid enough to afford netflix. Rock Jocelyn commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 l have a friend that watched an entire movie the other day on company time because he's an executive assistant, and that day, there just wasn't that much to do. lt happens. freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 When the working poor finally revolt, executive assistants will be the first ones against the wall. Unless they're hot. Ed B commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Dude, if they're hot, they should be the first ones up against the wall. ...You know, cuz they're getting fucked real hard. Up against a wall. Cuz they're hot. Rock Jocelyn commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Are you drunk, RJ? Because if you think that was witty, then you must be. freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I'm pretty sure my comment was at least 9,000 times more witty than "I have a friend who blah blah blah nobody cares." FYI. Rock Jocelyn commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 FYI, someone asked a question. l answered it, but since it was similar to Stinkbug's contribution, l chose to add it here instead of taking up a whole post regurgitating his/her comment. lf we're talking wit, l'm sure yours was wittier than mine, since l wasn't going for funny in the first place. freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 FYI, I'm pretty sure "my friend watched a movie at work" is not an answer to "Do Slog commenters have jobs?" But then, I could be wrong. It's possible that as well as not being witty, I'm also not very smart or perceptive. Rock Jocelyn commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 At no point did l say you were neither smart, nor perceptive. The answer "sometimes there's just not that much to do (which is why my friend watched a movie); it happens" answers the question. The assumption that people don't have jobs is probably partially correct, but not always the case. freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  3 0 It's called "acceptable usage." In fact, I get major brownie points when I bring local news and opinion to my boss before anyone else. kitschnsync answered in Whatever over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 1 I'm a server administrator. I start processes on a half-dozen servers, then have to wait for them to finish. While they're working, I have a few minutes to kill (and don't want to start another half-dozen servers, or I'll get confused as to where each is in the process), so I read Slog and comment on the threads that interest me. And I type faster than most people talk.

  1 1 I'm usually very busy at work, but a little of that time is dedicated to turning my brain off work related issues, which I need to do in order to refuel and get more work done subsequently.. Slog, Questionland, and other forums are right there at my fingertips.

  1 1 If people write quickly, a lot of text can take a short ammount of time and effort. It may look like people are spending all day in front of the computer, when they are just fast readers and writers.
