and you thought tubas were expensive . . .

To think; and like most activity, it is most effective when breaks are taken, allowing one to re-focus.

Not everyone has a fast-food job like yourself!

I'm sorry to hear that you got fired. I guess those guys in New Delhi could say "You want fries, or can I super-size it?" more effectively than yourself.

How does that work? Is it a browser feature, or is it software you've purchased?

To produce work product, not to punch a clock.

First, use Mozilla Firefox. Adblock is a plug-in for Firefox and it's free. Just google it. Flashblock is just as useful. It was Chuck G. who first turned me on to Adblock.

Honestly, I do understand the need to take mental breaks during the normal work day. And TubeNet is the best place to turn to when you really, really, really don't want to use your brain.

I'm an engineer. I do design and research, and I also teach. What do you do?

I don't post on Tubenet to improve my work product. I post on Tubenet because I like reading and writing about tubas. You don't need to worry your pretty little head about how I get my work done.

I have alway been a firm believer in the saying "Anything good is not cheap, and anything cheap is not good" No matter if it's tubas, tools, computers or condoms. Dont make the purchase until you can afford the best quality possible.
