do you watch TV when you work ? - GoFuckYourself.com

s9ann0 · 07-26-2005, 09:49 AM

I used to work from my bed with a 50" plasma in front of me and I think I spent too long watching the TV

now I'm in my office but it doesn't feel right without any tv so I plugged one in and I've got the news on in the backgounrd I think it make me work better

BigRod · 07-26-2005, 09:50 AM

Nope find it too distracting!

Jakke PNG · 07-26-2005, 09:51 AM

No. I just listen to music. When something important (like simpsons) is on, I stop working and watch tv..

Dalai lama · 07-26-2005, 09:53 AM

I dont, only some programs. But then i take a brake.

candyflip · 07-26-2005, 09:54 AM

I've either to got the TV on in the background or my music is blasting thru my headphones.

Today it's TV.

baddog · 07-26-2005, 09:55 AM

I have the tv on in the background . . things like the History Channel, Court TV, National Geographic . . . as they repeat their stuff so frequently it is impossible to not pick up additional knowledge

llporter · 07-26-2005, 09:55 AM

Nope to the tv

flirty · 07-26-2005, 09:58 AM

i dont have a tv at my work place. TV distracts me while working and i will be wasting too much electricity if i just turn it on and dont watch. i'd listen to mp3 to set some mood

David! · 07-26-2005, 10:00 AM

News on all the time

Barefootsies · 07-26-2005, 10:25 AM

Nope. Too distracting. I keep tv in other room out of office. Otherwise you get caught up in a show, and I get little work done.

loverboy · 07-26-2005, 10:45 AM

i value productivity, thus i prefer working in the office

Scott McD · 07-26-2005, 10:48 AM

I usually always have the tv on, but with the sound turned right down untill i wanna sit and watch something on it. Listen to music the rest of the time...

CynthiaB · 07-26-2005, 10:52 AM

I used to play Court TV in the background, but somehow I got used to the silence and now it's hard to work with it on. Depends what I'm doing though, when it's mundane stuff, I sometimes need the TV to keep me from nodding off!

And I'm the second person to mention Court TV - wonder why that makes such good "background" sound.

I used to have a tv set up where I could view it just to the right of my monitor.
I bought a new desk and now the tv is behind me and to the right.
I would venture to say I am now less productive...don't know why but I am.

Doc911 · 07-26-2005, 11:07 AM

no I'm usually to busy to pay attention

mardigras · 07-26-2005, 11:16 AM

I set my computer up in the same eyeshot as the TV because with of all my satellite equipment I often need to refer to online info. When I'm working I either put the news on in the background (sometimes switching between the news channels if something is particularly annoying

) or I listen to online streams.

Manowar · 07-26-2005, 11:18 AM

i just listen to music

Violetta · 07-26-2005, 11:26 AM

The tv is on right behind me, but I prefer music!

xxxice · 07-26-2005, 11:31 AM

TV always on to the left good stuff

Sosa · 07-26-2005, 11:33 AM

I usually just have it on for background noise

xclusive · 07-26-2005, 11:34 AM

yup have to have that or the radio on

Vitasoy · 07-26-2005, 12:46 PM

I have the tv on all the time in the background
