AIBU to wonder/worry about work life balance at MNHQ

I see lots of posts from MNHQ-ers saying thins like "must stop posting, am at a festival with the kids/on holidays today/it's past my bedtime".
Is have two theories:
Either MNHQ are worked like slaves which is terribly hypocritical for a family-promoting site,
Or you all get sucked into vair interesting discussions and can't log off -like the rest of us-

So which is it?

@Tee2072

TSSDCNOP?

Does this mean The Secret Service Does Comment just Not On Procedure?

I heard Olivia sleeps under her desk on Fridays, a bottle of gin clutched to her chest like a teddy bear.

ROFL it's not just on Friday Wink

Couldn't HQ organise special tours
we could check how much gin is in the cellar

And I want to know if you ever blackmail people by threatening to reveal their true identities.
Then we could go to your houses to see if you have achieved a life/work balance, or if your just a bunch of slobs who spend every waking moment drinking gin

@flyoverthegoldenhill

no body answered MnhoneydragonHq so I guess she was right, so namechanging isn't going to help us

@IamtheZombie

Zombie has it on good authority that we only need worry about the work / gin /life balance for HQ.

[work] Gin Gin Gin Gin Gin Gin Gin Gin Gin Gin [life]

Worryingly accurate, Zombie

MNhoneydragonHQ · 12/09/2012 09:57

That's a considerable amount of gin

I always envision HQ as MIB control. With all these screens up that have individual posters come up as soon as they log in.

Do you guys have pet protagonists and antagonists that you can't help popping in to tell off? Grin

VivaLeBeaver · 11/09/2012 19:36

See, she's here again.

VivaLeBeaver · 11/09/2012 19:36

Poor old Olivia couldn't go to bed last Friday night. I wanted her to so I could post the spreadsheet but she said that sleep was for the weak. I fell asleep while waiting for her to crumble and it was gone midnight!

SecretNutellaMedallist · 11/09/2012 19:35

Olivia- are you on cover for friday?

LotsofDots · 11/09/2012 19:32

Do you mean TSSDNCOP? Or is there a more sinister phrase I don't know?

I was wondering about this the other night. Is the person in charge snort at home at night or in spooky HQ all by themselves?
