Where are you and what are you doing?

This is something I've been wondering about. Where are you right now? At home? At work? What time is it?
And also, why are you on NationStates when, as Colodia put it bluntly, you could be looking at porn?

I'll start it off. Right now I'm sitting in the entrance of Dorm 2 of my University, because it's the only place with a roof that's open at this time where I can receive the University wireless.
I'm not looking at porn because sometimes, people walk by here, and I'd only really look at dirty pictures some place private... Anyway, that and I find Sinuhue's threads slightly more stimulating :D
It is 22:12 Central European Time, in Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany...

Edit: Oops, I forgot to mention that it is currently raining, which prevents me from sitting in my usual spot outside the cafeteria, since my keyboard tends to do things on its own when it gets wet...

I'm at work. All of my posting happens while here, because right now, I really have nothing else to do. I hope that changes some time soon, before I lose my mind. NS keeps me sane, and sharpish, and sometimes a little too stimulated for a work environment, but oh well! And I'm in smalltown Alberta, Canada. It's currently 14:20 Mountain time. (that's the metric clock you yanks! :D )

I need to do something aberant...

I am sitting at a computer not my own in a country far from my native land, half asleep, with one window open on NS (not five anymore, the internet here doesn't support tabbed browsing) and twelve open on the homework assignment I'm supposed to be doing if I don't want to be held back for a fifth year of high school (NOOOOO!!!). I'm dead tired and can hardly type anymore. I have a headache. And it's only 23:26. :(

its 10.58pm, i'm in my bedroom at home back at my parents' place (home for the hols), in the fair city of Southampton, Hampshire, the UK. i'm waiting till the Apprentice USA comes on BBC2 at 20 past 11, so i'm posting here and talking to uni mates on msn, while reading reviews of digital SLR cameras (saving up to buy one). listening to system of a down, who i didn't used to like but listening to their album this week (having listened to whats left of my music collection to death) its grown on me a lot.
also re-reading bits of a (work) project i'm working on, and re-reading bits of my blog (linky (http://spaces.msn.com/members/megadude666/)). i tend to do this when i get bored

not five anymore, the internet here doesn't support tabbed browsing

You DO realize it's not the 'internet' it's your browser, right?

Anyway, I'm sitting naked at my computer desk in my room wondering if I SHOULD look at porn. Kidding, I already did that. I'm wondering if I should do it again. :D Oh, and my room is in my house and my house is just outside of Atlanta Georgia. It is currently 6:17-ish PM Eastern American Standard Time and the temperature is in the high 80's. Partly cloudy with a chance of evening showers.

i am wokring. That's right, working. Or rather my machine is. It's doing a build and running a test. Well, actually, its slaves are, but with machines, who cares? And if you understand all that, then i think i pity you.

i'm not looking at porn because it's boring, frustrating, ridiculous, or enough to gag the maggot crawling in the butthole of that dead thing outside my neighbor's window across the ravine. Or maybe all of it at once, depending on what porn it is that we're talking about. Actually, it's hard to imagine a more useless waste of time, unless it involves TV evangelists.

Gotta run, the slaves call.

I'm in my room, bored, which is why I'm on these forums. It's 6:36 P.M. I'm chatting in IRC and have a couple message windows open while listening to Queens of the Stone Age. I'm not looking at porn because I'm an innocent young lady, well, more like it's not my thing. :P

It is going rather slow, since I'm trying to eat my dinner at the same time, and occasionally fanning myself with a beautiful fan I picked up in Chinatown. XD

It's not raining where I am right now, although CSG would say that she'd gotten wet anyway.

I'm at my computer desk in my home office at my lil home in Kernersvile, North Carolina, USA. I'm not looking at porn because I just got off the telephone with my favorite female person in the whole world, and am still trying to catch my breath and recover. :D

It's now 2046 hours Eastern Daylight Time in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, USA. :)

It is 9:00 pm and I am just now leaving work, which is the only place I have access to the internet right now.

I live in Reno, Nevada which has "Hot August Nights" going on right now. This means that when I step out of this door I will be assaulted by hundreds of classical car driving people who are feeling rowdy and just plain good.

So... I will be going straight home and playing Sims2 where I will be feeling sorry for myself because I don't have the internet at home.

Sitting in my room in Bakersfield, California. I'm reading the NS forums, listening to music, playing solitaire, and typing something out for someone to keep them amused at night when I'm on vacation and don't have access to AIM for a week. It's almost 9:10 pm Pacific time. I'm now wondering why I've been playing solitaire for the past week considering the fact that I have a gaming rig and plenty of games to keep me amused. Oh, and the family's watching my boxed set of Firefly. All of you should watch it. Good show.

you asked how heavy they are! :rolleyes:

i was putting some stock on a shelf and there was a guy on the other side of the isle, he knocked summat over which made everything on the shelf fall over too and all the big heavy metal and glass vases came crashing down on my side, if i'd been a couple of inches to the side they would've landed on my head and seriously hurt me, he just walked off, didn't come round to check if they'd hit me and i was ok or even apologise, he just grabbed his kid and walked off
Heaviness and weight are different. :eek:
Im sure the guy was too embarrased or from Newcastle...(theyt are like that the bastards.

So was the stuff you were lifting the weight of say a 20 Litre Bucket of Water?

I have just started my working day routine, which consists of checking my emails to see if I've anything urgent to do, then going down my list of websites to visit instead of actually doing work.
