For those of you that WOH and say you have to do it to make ends meet. Do you really do it to make ends meet or do you do it cause you want to keep up a certain lifestyle? Do you know how to live with out debt or without having to keep up with the joneses?


ETA Please excuse all my siggys. Obviously I dont know how to turn them off. I thought I did.

How much info could I glean from a "not complex" or "complex" answer.

Sheesh, you think I was asking for the name and number of the person she worked for!

You know what? I was going to post that exact term in that post! Some things are soooo predictable.

"Of course, according to jendia I shouldn't be shredding anyway, because shredding isn't in my job description"

As I've posted before, relieving yourself in the bathroom or blowing your nose is not part of your job description, but one sometimes can not help it. If one can not help posting on a message board or chatting with strangers during work hours, I'd say that's a bit of an addiction.

"In fact, my boss watched an episode of Lost from the ABC website while she was at work the other day. Didn't bother me a bit."

Key words: "my boss".

Sorry, I'm confused again...Why is that a "key word"? Is one never supposed to be bothered by what one's boss does, regardless of the action? Is wasting time allowable in one's boss but not oneself? And if so, how high up does this go? I'm assuming that in this case there is a boss above the boss and probably yet another boss above that one. So that boss watching Lost may have to answer to a boss above. Is only the boss at the very top of the heap allowed to drift between active work and short (or sometime long) breaks? Or is it somehow supposed to work top down, e.g. the top boss wastes 4 hours in a workday so the next one down should waste less time (say 3 hours), and the one below that less than the previous one (say 2 hours) and the one on the bottom of the heap should only be allowed to waste 1 hour?

sah/woh is debated all the time, because thats the title of the board. Now, if the board were titled "How much time do you spend on internet messageboards debate" I could see the relevence. All if does here, however, is make the person doing the chastising look rather silly and like they are trying to turn things into personal attacks.

edited to add-what I usually see when this subject comes up is either a militant sahm who starts ranting about how much time wohms are wasting while on the clock, or a militant wohm who says that sahps arent taking proper care of their children because they are spending so much time here. Its really nothing more than a diversionary tactic, used by people who tend to flounder in the debate itself. And considering that there is a huge percentage of regular posters on this board, I dont think anyone has room to talk or point fingers.
