Audiogoners Anonymous?


The first step is knowing that you have a problem.

And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.

Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?

I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?

Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Jadem: "or my bose was easier on me?

Is that some deep Freudian audiophile slip? Is that what you really think of him? Is he a real small guy with an unbalanced response?

Geez, when one of us called "Clueless" constantly comes up with insightful remarks -- it makes you think, doesn't it ;)?
Clueless, maybe he's kind of a squat, oddly-shaped guy who always faces away from you, toward the wall, whenever he speaks. :-)

BTW, you're not claiming that Audiogoning isn't a "sedentary" activity physically, now are you?
JD, this is all tongue n' cheek! We've embellished our stories for comedic effect...
Tongue in Cheek? Poor Jd stuck working with a bose all day. That's very fatiguing after even a short time. Anybody have ideas for tweaks that might take the edge off? How about lining his chair with bubble wrap?

Sincerely
