AIBU?

To think I can't be the only one with this problem?

I think I'm addicted to MN. In the morning, I will be on MN and I will look at the time and think "shit I only have an hour to get ready, shower and all! But just 2 10 more minutes/one 47 more comments..." And then I only have 40 minutes to get ready and the cycle starts again...

Anybody else suffer from this?

It may of course, not be addiction but procrastination... We will never know. 😜

I'm in denial. I totally need my fix first and last thing, but don't think it's a problem. It's like how people used to read the newspaper in the morning, isn't it? Just with more cock-lodgers and biscuits and penis beakers.

In fact, I was on at 4am feeling snarky because there weren't many new threads.

Yup! I flit between MN and FB and am constantly disappointed that there aren't more juicy threads on either so then I have to get on with some work (I'm self employed so the only person I'm letting down is myself!)

I tried a FB ban once but then I checked a group I'm a member of to let them know that I would be AWOL for a month and while I was on there I won a £1000 prize from a competition I'd entered on FB so I felt that it was a sign not to give it up! Grin

If MN want to give me a grand to keep me here I'll happily accept it Smile otherwise I may have to go cold turkey, at least until I get some work done.

I don't comment much, but lurk A LOT, and also with the Facebook, and then I found FreeJinger too, and I basically never get any work done anymore...

Me too. Don't know what the solution is.
What's FreeJinger?

Maybe we should start a MN Addicts thread. May be counterproductive though...

Is it bad that I have used my 15 minute break whilst the children play to peruse MN instead of getting my cup of tea? I think the summer really cemented my issue because I wasn't restricted to only during play and lunch...

Wench FreeJinger is an American website/forum predicated on the basis of snarking about fundamentalist Christians (think the Duggars - 19 kids and counting) , a bit niche, but bloody hell you can lose hours...
