How is it that a few people have the time to post morning and evening
on DU? I checked in this morning for ten minutes and many of the same people who I see post in the evening were posting this morning and the posts were FRESH!!!! :wow: How is that possible? Unfortunately I have to work in the morning and afternoon.

3. what is this thing called work?
You interest me strangely.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

5. Some of us are employed in odd jobs that don't keep a 9-5 schedule
Not everybody is employed to their fullest potential in this economy.

And there are some lucky schmucks who can do a little web surfing at work.

I'm an addict! There should be a 12-step program!

10. I leave work early in the morning,
log in here while my daughter watches Disney Channel in the evening and if it's dead at work (and my boss isn't around) I will sometimes log in at night. So sometimes I have logged in a few times a day-other days nothing.

----------

All silliness aside, there were a lot of people who suspected that there were paid operatives on specific high volume websites during the elections in both 2000 and 2004. The common thought was the posters got paid by the line for posting stuff supportive to the BFEE.

I have to admit, it did seem strange--it was like they had shifts going. In 2000 I was at Salon as a regular poster and there were a couple of guys on there that held down the day shift spreading the words of the "elect dubya cabal." There was some woman who worked the weekends who was worse than lame...

19. I have no life!
I'm on DU probably 8 hours a day, but you could never tell it by my post count. I'm a stay at home mom with a kid in middle school.
