Almost always at home.  My work schedule is very uneven.  There are days like today when I'm out the door before sunrise and don't get home until pretty late at night.  To make up for the marathon days, there are days when I work only a few hours, leaving me lots of time to putz around at home, playing Turbo and checking in here and stuff like that.

If I'm at home, I usually have my computer on, typically with a PCEFX window open, even if I'm doing other crap.  The early-mid daytime hours are my favorite times to actually check the posts.  It feels like a laid-back time, with a few good posts here and there from Nats and Necromancers.  On a day like today, when I'm at work all day, when I finally get to check the forum there are tons of new posts, including a lot of Chit Chat stuff that I usually don't read anyway, so I just go for the Turbo-related topics that seem interesting.

same for me. when i'm at home first thing i do is start up the pc, and keep being online until go to sleep. then i periodically checking several forums, watch movies/tv-series, playing some 8/16bit stuff, talking to oversea friends via skype/ICQ while drink some whisky or a beer etc.

That actually sounds kind of nice.

I wish I had days that were just devoid of obligations I could sit around and have some "me" time. The only day I get is Saturday, since the woman works until 5 and I have weekends off. If I don't sleep in I've got a few hours to spend doing whatever if I don't have any errands to run or other shit to do.

I added a Home/Work Equally option for everyone whining about having none.

Mostly at work.

I rarely ever go online at home,  except on weekends, maybe once or twice.

With Football season almost over, i will probably go online alot more on Sundays... =(

I hate when the power goes out at home.

I never really realize how much of what I do is based on electricity.

I find myself extremely, extremely bored during power outages if I don't have some AA batteries for my GT.

I hear ya. A few years ago Halifax was hit in the autumn by a category 2 hurricane ("Juan") and the city was pretty much shut down for about a week. Then, a few months later, a massive snow storm - coined "White Juan" - dumped 95.5 cm (37.6 in) in one night and again the city was shut down for a week. My GBA saved my from boredom and luckily I had a full battery charge. Zelda: A Link to the Past was my winter hibernation friend. heh

I spent all day at work on this forum today because of this goddamn new chat mode Aaron installed. I didn't really get anything productive done.
