SYM is my best companion during those long nights when I, like tonight, are trying to write clever things in my articles and get stuck. When you get stuck writing, it's often best to think of something else for a while and return to the text a little later. Same thing with reading. I often read articles on the computer (all major scientific journals are on-line as well as in paper), and then I like to keep GB in another window and spam in between.
I almost spam from work, only when I work at home. I don't spend much time before the computer at work, and even if I did I feel that would be a distraction. I think I've posted at GB once or twice from work, at late evenings.
@Silur: I agree that spamming here seems even more fun when you have a frustrating assignment - it's amazing how many topics for new threads I can think of right now!
@Ned: Oh, sounds like you need a new job. Without challenges, we wither away and crumble into dust. I can assure you that a challenging and demanding job doesn't interfere with spamming here, I have +3000 posts
And no dissertation
No, seriously, I joke about spamming instead of writing my articles, but truth is that SYM doesn't interfere more with my work than my real life social life does - if I spammed less here I wouldn't work instead, I would probably spend that time chatting with friends by the phone (well, they are mostly asleep at the time I usually spam here), view a movie, read a not-so-demanding book, play computer games or other leisure activities.
