When do you get on dakka? I see a few people now, and shouldn't they be at work? The only reason I am on is the snow over North America, and that canceled school.
So..., shouldn't you be working?

Yes I am a teacher, a special needs teacher at that. I have a class full of students with Autism, so I occasionally need a break during the day.
A lot of the time I bring some minis to work on too. I get 90 minutes to do my lesson plans and sometimes I work on my lessons on my days off to make up for time spent on dakka and the minis. Having a little time to myself to clear my mind helps with the rest of the day, so i don't mind taking some of my off time to do stuff I should have done at work.

I feel sorry for you  Having on student in the class with aspergers manages to cock most teachers up so a whole class of autistic (full or just autistic spectrum?) pupils must be... challenging.

I have six, two of which are Aspergers and the others are autistic. It has its pros and cons. I don't have to deal with 25 kids with attitudes, but I do have to deal with behaviors that are part of their disorder. I wouold rather deal with those, because at least I now those kids have a medical reason, while the others just want to cause trouble. I have been hit, bit, and covered in snot but things could be worse.
So if you see me on here during the school day, you know I am taking my break right? Just don't tell administration...

I'm usually on during the work day and occassionally a little bit in the evening. I work as the commercial lead of a biggish construction project so I can do as I please (so long as the work gets done  ). The only problem is that working for a large multinational firm we have very constricting web rules one of which limits me to 60 minutes of personal webtime a day (in 10min chunnks). This makes it difficult to post replies. The other issue is that we are limited in what we can veiw, so while I can get on to Dakka, I can only see images stored on Dakka but not anything on sum web hosting services or youtube. Edit: the 10 min post rush that I have to get in also means that allot of my posts are strewn with spelling errors as can be seen above

Dakka = usually after work, so 18.00 to 1.00
Still on and off, interwebz isn't for free.....
Did however keep an eye on Dakka and jump in when we had "survivor games" at Dakka to post "just in time". Can't do this regularly because where I am is a bit different
to many of the Dakka...( -ites ? -nauts? ???), central europe isn't far from UK timezone so its often the North-americans and Aussies who post a ton whilst I am sleeping.

I think the big secret of internet forums is that a whole lot of people are posting on them from work. I think it's one of those things we're not supposed to talk about, but no-one has ever said that out loud, probably because we're not supposed to talk about it.
But yeah, I work at a university. The thing is, I've worked in the private sector, in the public sector, and now in the university sector, and I've defended the private sector as being just as hardworking as the private sector, but I've never tried to defend universities in the same way.

I get scared when I see guys with simply a gakload of posts that have only been here for a few months.
Originally, I was really freaked out by Mellisa or however you spell the name. She had simply a gakload of posts and she's only been here I think since june of '10.
Anyways, I'm usually on from 4:00 PM to 4:00 AM
I usually check in for 10 minutes or so every few hours if I'm just at home with my girl in our apartment.

When I'm bored I also like to drop knowledge from my Droid if I'm not at my computer. Dakka is my anti-drug.

It varies with work.
Sometimes 7-8 times per day (usually lurking) when I'm not busy, then 1-2 hours in the evening spamming the DCM forum.
Currently reduced due to study for exams but still about an hour per day at random times.
