AIBU to wonder/worry about work life balance at MNHQ

tak1ngchances · 11/09/2012 15:42

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?

We're family friendly tak1ng and we get sucked in sometimes too.

It is fairly rare to post from a festival Envy but many of us pop in on our days off to say hello and help out occasionally. It's nice

Good to hear Rebecca. We don't want you all to burn out! Hope there are lots of tea & biscuit breaks too... (will not name types of biscuit for fear of an incident)

rebecca do you currently have a gun at your head?

FancyPuffin · 11/09/2012 16:42

I imagine HQ to be a room out of the film Saw. I think that MNHQers try to send coded help messages.

Just cut your foot off for fucks sake Rebecca

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?

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

SecretNutellaMedallist · 11/09/2012 19:35

Olivia- are you on cover for friday?

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!

VivaLeBeaver · 11/09/2012 19:36

See, she's here again.

MNhoneydragonHQ · 11/09/2012 19:37

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

SecretNutellaMedallist · 11/09/2012 19:40

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

Oooooh yes. And all our name changes under a Known Aliases list Grin

And you as well Olivia?

Bjulling us poor ordinary posters. I tell you, what is this organisation coming to!

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

MNhoneydragonHQ · 12/09/2012 09:57

That's a considerable amount of gin
