Wow Feb 21, 2007

Well, I AM impressed. I chose "depends" (if that differs from "sometimes")
I will visit if I'm working on Sunday, but if I'm not, I try not to turn on the box from hell at all.

Cheers,
Pawel Skalinski

all the time Feb 21, 2007

I visit it whenever I open my browser; I set it to be my homepage I never even log off. I think I'm obsessed with ProZ. I've been obsessed for years and I'm afraid there's no medicine for that.

Family life Feb 21, 2007

In a personal attempt towards what they call "conciliación familiar" here in Spain, I have disconnected the ADSL at home and removed the computer to an office elsewhere. Now of course you find me looking for childcare on Sundays so that I can get on with work...

been there Feb 21, 2007

I answered 'usually' but I almost always visit the site on Sundays, knowing how desperately one can need help with one term or another for a job that needs to be done by Monday. I've been there!

Like Pawel Feb 21, 2007

I am with Pawel on this one. Unless I really have to work on Sundays I will avoid switching the computer on at all. It is good to get a break from it now and again!

It varies Feb 21, 2007

I try to average a five-day work week (not always possible). However, which five days they are varies from week to week.

I can't help associating those pastel green-brown-yellowish colours with work, so I try to avoid Proz if I'm on a day off.

Only if something has gone terribly wrong Feb 22, 2007

I'm with Steven and try to limit the number of days I work per week. I generally take the weekend off and avoid accepting jobs on Fridays, which means that I'm only ever in front of the computer on a Sunday when I've (very badly) miscalculated how long a translation will take. It's only happened twice, I think.

Best,
Jocelyne

Wow Feb 22, 2007

By seeing the responses, it is evident to say that,

People just love Proz.

Yes Feb 22, 2007

But not for long... Usually, there's not anything new on Sunday... I think Saturday, Sunday and early Monday (i.e. up to 4 or 5 p.m. Indian Standard Time) are the most silent days on proz.
I come here because it's a habit... but I don't stay here for long on these days.
