Counterintuitive??

So, here's the deal. I need to work to earn money to buy a Rolex. BUT, I spend way too much time on this forum DURING WORKING HOURS. Something just ain't adding up. Please help me.

Your boss and I were just discussing this very concerning issue yesterday. In fact, we'd like to speak to you privately when you get a chance...

Yes TRF is great but unlike your job, doesn't pay the bills . . .

Related to this, nbcolympics.com had a "boss" button when it was streaming Olympics coverage . . . click it and a generic looking spreadsheet came up and the sound was muted.

TRF is anti-work.

But you are still being paid, aren't you?

You're obviously unwell. Take two Rolexes and ring me in the morning.

I agree. Best I can suggest is consciously give yourself 45 minutes and when you're done goto the quick links in the TRF toolbar. Click 'Mark forums read" That is what helps me avoid wasting time when I return to the site reading threads I already...read. Until there's another post anyways.

My name is Eric and I'm a TRF/Rolex-aholic. What's that bumper sticker say? The worst day on TRF is better than the best day at work!

But, when you can combine the 2 (work AND TRF), it's sweet!!

Back in 1988 my then girlfriend claimed I had "Rolexia," and bought me a TT DJ while we where in St. Thomas. Course like a dummy I sold it to buy something else in about 1998. So, I'm here learning up on all things Rolex, in anticipation of becoming an owner again, hopefully sooner rather than later. Have this pesky Omega I need to sell first to raise a little money....

I've got no time but I always somehow find time for this forum. Funny that isn't it.

There are some great threads here.

I like it best when the experts spot a fraud and go after him and his fake watch.

There is a whole range of personalities here. Some funny guys and some seriously knowledgable.
