I do sometimes. Guilty as charged. I keep my laptop turned so I have time to CTR+ESC out of what I'm playing if someone happens to come into my office. Lol!

I do it regularly. Then again, I work remotely from home, so it's often hard to tell what my work timetable is. Some days I work 12+ hours, others I spend the whole day gaming and keep skype open just in case something pops up.

I'm an innkeeper. I own and operate a B&B that is also my full time residence. Right now I'm hanging out in here and I'm gaming and technically I'm on the clock. I don't feel guilty because the 1st 30 years of my life were so shitty, I figure I'm do. :)

I'm a student, but have I have gamed in the lab a few times. Mainly while waiting for things to happen though (ever waited for a chemical reaction to happen? It is pretty boring).

Hockey. St. Louis Blues. Born and raised there. Wait till baseball season, then I get REALLY obnoxious.
Funny thing is, I always hated living it St. Louis. I moved 750 miles away some 8 years ago and while I will remain loyal to the teams the rest of the city can eat the peanuts out of my shit. I have long hair and I actually use to get rocks thrown at me walking down the street in St. Louis because of it...I SHIT YOU NOT!

Sorry, I'm ranting. I'll stop now.

As an English teacher in Korea, yup. Routinely. I take the laptop into my maintenance closet (truly) of an office on the days I don't teach. Considering I have to come in despite having no classes I figure it's the least I can do for their generosity.

Sort of.

I bring my laptop to work and I'll play on my lunch hour.

Self employed so yes - though as an artist it's sometimes also required for research and reference purposes. Problem is it can be quite distracting. If I could afford a second computer to purely use for games and one for work I think I'd be further ahead on a lot of my own projects right now, rather than just focusing on client stuff.

Ah, I see I see. Back in the summer of 2009 I was walking down the street in Cincinnati with a buddy of mine (who just so happens to have long hair) , a beat up LeBaron speeds by and the driver yells "YOU LOOK LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON" and chucks a crushed beer can out the window at him.

I don't typically laugh at that kind of thing but that was the hardest I had ever laughed in my life, bar none. I had been telling him that dry, thinning, whispy, stupid looking mop had to go, but nooooooo. That said, I never advocate being a dick for being a dick's sake, but some people can pull off the long hair and some people can't. Is yours luscious and thick or scarecrow hair? I have somewhat thinning hair, not really noticeable if I keep is super short but I'm going to start shaving it soon so I can get used to that look by the time I hit 40. Haha.

This is going to sound sad and melodramatic but I think its hilarious. I cut it all off when I was 26. Three months later I was diagnosed with cancer and three weeks after that everything I didn't cut off fell out. Well screw that! As soon as was done with chemo and the hair started growing back I vowed never to cut it again as I was convinced that the hair cut caused the cancer. I still think that. Oh I can't prove it, yet, but I'm working on it and one day, when I've established a clear link between hair cuts and cancer, a lot of people are going to owe me a big apology. So I havn't cut it in ten years and now I look like Jesus and I frighten children but hey, ten years and I havn't had a relapse!
