GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Gmc Distracts Me From My Studies!
Posted by: mattacuk Mar 19 2008, 11:30 AM
Ok so right now im "semi-studying" , I really should be paying my book more attention but as we all know the internet is addictive 
Infact, I should have been studying yesterday but i played my guitar all-day instead! 
Its not that I dont find the Intricacies of Cascading Style Sheets interesting, its just guitars are more interesting still 
Does anyone else have this problem? 
Posted by: DeepRoots Mar 19 2008, 11:35 AM
Matt, I should be at school right now lol
I often find that I'm either jamming or hovering around the forum when i always have huge amounts of work to be doing!

omg.. always.. i have one week to complete a case study on Weston Company ( owners of lawblaws and some major grocery stores over here in canada)... well wednesday has rolled around.. and ive made 50+ posts on GMC and gotten in plenty of practice.. but.. the case hasn't been started 
Posted by: SinoMan Mar 19 2008, 11:37 AM
Lol yeah, exactly same here. I was thinking about making a program that wouldn't let me to the PC... If anyone else would like a program like this, let me know, I'll prolly get into it. No point in only making it for myself...

That really made me laugh
As for the rest of you, shame on you
Ok thats it, im not comeing back for at least 30 minutes !!!

He'll come back, they always do...
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Mar 19 2008, 11:52 AM
lol. I can never do work when I'm around a PC. I'm drawn to GMC. My hands force me to come here even when I have deadlines 
I don't have control of my hands anymore 
Posted by: mattacuk Mar 19 2008, 11:53 AM
Oh crap, im back! how long was that?
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Mar 19 2008, 11:58 AM
13 Minutes

I'm on GMC so much I lose sleep and do stupid things. Yesterday I went into the shop to buy Guitar World magazine and when I got home I found out I had picked up Golf World by mistake
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Mar 19 2008, 12:08 PM
Well sometimes I have that problem - but evern more often I have problems with the Intricacies of Cascading Style Sheets
Posted by: mattacuk Mar 19 2008, 12:11 PM
But at least you have a good excuse to be on GMC Right im off to finish my ultra CSS working PS. OC, maybe you can take up golf too !
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Mar 19 2008, 12:17 PM
It's actually quite an interesting read
Posted by: Trond Vold Mar 19 2008, 12:19 PM
Your not alone, i should be studying circuit-designs.. but for some reason spending too much time here is a bit more entertaining
Posted by: mattacuk Mar 19 2008, 12:22 PM
Im just trying to imagin you sat reading your golfing mag
Posted by: tonymiro Mar 19 2008, 12:26 PM
Looks like I'm the odd one out - Work for me keeps getting in the way of playing guitar/GMC .
Cheers,
Tony
ps just got an extension for my next publication - and without even having to ask . They must know what a lazy ass I am .

I feel with you Matt,
but luckily seems like you're still studying...guitar.
Posted by: SinoMan Mar 19 2008, 12:50 PM
.I want to have your self-discipline!
Posted by: Smells Mar 19 2008, 12:59 PM
Terrible for it here! Have GMC open all day at work, as soon as its slack I have a whizz through the forum, a total addict!
Posted by: Muris Mar 19 2008, 01:00 PM
Just don;t get fired or som
Posted by: Smells Mar 19 2008, 01:04 PM
Very long story to explain, but I`m very lucky enough not to have to worry about getting sacked, but a bloomin good ear bashing wouldnt be out of the question
Posted by: tonymiro Mar 19 2008, 01:07 PM
No self-discipline involved at all mate. I'm just in the 'work to live' group - whereas my wife is very much in the 'live to work' camp
. So I minimise my work without any qualms at all and that allows me to do the things I want .Cheers,
Tony

Then I guess you're the boss

Yeah that never gets neglected thats for sure
Posted by: Bogdan Mar 19 2008, 01:37 PM
I can't do anything on my PC without having GMC open and checked out every minute
And I should be studying hard now for my exams

You can always sue Kris for not displaying a disclaimer: "GMC may harm your studies"

When i joined GMC i didnt go to school because i had graduate so i havent had any problems like this but we will see when i start at the university next fall 
Posted by: Angelica Mar 19 2008, 02:28 PM
I can understand you,
try to think that playing guitar has to be a reward for the work that you decided to do today.... makes you feel better even when you play...
fro me it works most of times

Oh but that guitar is so beautiful that we just can't resist...
Posted by: Mrblomme Mar 19 2008, 02:58 PM
Tomorrow I have exams French and Chemics but I'm at GMC ...
Posted by: SinoMan Mar 19 2008, 03:04 PM
Hell yeah. Let's make some good money off Kris!
Posted by: mattacuk Mar 19 2008, 03:33 PM
Nah, Its all my fault entirley !!
Posted by: Spreedmaster Mar 19 2008, 05:32 PM
I have the same problem. Im in my final year in college, have exams in a month and havent done a stroke of work yet! 
Studying sucks!
Posted by: dusty Mar 19 2008, 08:26 PM
In many ways i am glad that my work does not have internet as i would have never got anything done since i joined GMC. at home however my wife is currently giving me "evils" as i seem to be glued to the site and the forum. as this is the first forume i ahve ever taken part in i dare not try any others as they are more addictive than crack Start my post grad studies in May so will be in the same boat as many of you soon
Posted by: Gus Mar 19 2008, 09:10 PM
Normal internet forums, where everyone is flaming every topic are already addictive...
GMC, as forum with people with the same interest and really willing to help each other. Well, that is beyond any control...
Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Mar 19 2008, 09:24 PM
GMC is addictive but very useful.
Posted by: SinoMan Mar 19 2008, 09:25 PM
That addicted me even more.
Posted by: mattacuk Mar 19 2008, 09:28 PM
You will all be very pleased to know I managed to complete my entire weeks course work, and assignment in no less than 8 hours today !!
All whilst browsing GMC and checking out the forums
Posted by: Juan M. Valero Mar 20 2008, 12:47 PM
it's important to keep some hours to your studies and some to your practice
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Mar 20 2008, 12:53 PM
Your studies being of music theory of course
Posted by: Juan M. Valero Mar 20 2008, 01:41 PM
mmm, well, I have my degree I'm a farmacist and it was not a problem to study and to play guitar and have some bands at the same time (and record my first solo album )
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Mar 20 2008, 01:48 PM
Yeah same for me. I went out drinking, played guitar, had a band and I came through ok. You just need to focus at the right times. At uni 90% of the time you can do what you like. The 10% is where you need to do your work and revise for exams.
Posted by: Jerry Arcidiacono Mar 20 2008, 02:38 PM
Always!
Just finish your studies while you're improving your guitar skills.
So you have the opportunity of a "regular" job... buying some good gear... and then become a rockstar
Posted by: rokchik Mar 20 2008, 02:39 PM
Well I'm in the same boat as Tony as my work keeps me from GMC/practice. I'm away now for work, my guitar is home and I won't be able to play for two weeks....well I'm working on borrowing a friends guitar actually. Thank god I got my new laptop so I can at least keep up with the forum when I'm not at work

I understand you a lot!! I work in a court, study in the university, have my band and, I try to play all the time I can, so... I only sleep 4 or 5 hours
Freddy Mercury will say "...It´s a hard life..."
Posted by: Pi38 Mar 20 2008, 06:40 PM
I have the same type of problem. I don't think it's a bad thing to be addicted to guitar though.
