how do y'all chat online and keep up with life?!?!  I've been swamped at work and haven't even glanced at this board in a week.  I know I'm new, but I really like being able to chat when I can but it seems like that's next to impossible lately.

    It's booked into my work day.  <:-P   I almost never check in from home.

    ETA: In all seriousness I check during lulls, or waiting for reports.  Or when I need a break.

    I do a lot of database work and check this board while I am waiting for information to update, since that can take up to 20 mins. Also I out-work myself a lot so I have a lot of free time at work to check this.

    I check in a few times a day.  I'm not constantly monitoring or anything.  Usually during morning lulls, lunch, and before I go home.  I'll check from home if there's something going on that's super interesting.
    I always miss the drama though.  I hate logging in and seeing that the board has blown up over something that I completely missed, but the original post was deleted so I have to piece together what got everyone's panties in a bunch.

    Work is pretty quiet these days and even when it's not, sometimes you just need a 5 minute break
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

    I have a pretty boring job about 8 months out of the year, so this helps make the day go by faster. My most active days are Monday and Friday, when my boss works from home.

    I have two screens, and keep Chrome open (minimized) on one most of the time. Depending on how busy I am, I'll check every once in awhile. Sometimes that means I'm refreshing every 15 minutes, and sometimes that means I pop in only once a day. If I'm stuck in meetings, I check less.

    My job is pretty chill.  My boss has said that she doesn't care what we do as long as our work gets done.  I don't sit staring at the board all day but I check in periodically when I have time.

    As long as my work is done I check throughout the day. Even if it's not completely done sometimes you just need a breather. :) I usually keep a tab open to go back and forth to during the day of FB and here or my email.

    My job is sporadic. Sometimes I have loads of down time, other times not so much. My participation on the board reflects that.

    I post a lot from my phone. That's exactly what I'm doing right now. It also helps that I've been a SAHW for the last seven months.

    I am on maternity leave now so whenever I am nursing my little one. Checking on my phone makes it so much easier. When I get back to work, I imagine when I am pumping I will check.

    I only check while bf-ing, which is why I'm often late to the conversation lately and/or posting at 3 am :)

    I make time.  I haven't been able to check in as often over the last few weeks but I make it a point to come here.  It's important to me as I'm sure whatever has been keeping you away is important to you.

    I am a SAHM. During the summer, it's hard to find the time. Now that the kids are in school, there are bigger chunks of time where I can pop in. I used to be on here all day every day. Ahh, those were the days.

    This is me too. It ebbs and flows how often I can post but I check the Nest usually daily because these ladies are awesome.
