I might be addicted.

I have browsed Spiceworks periodically at work today, attended a few Spiceworks webinars, and now here I am. My wife is in bed, the kid is asleep and I have the TV to myself. What do I do? Browse Spiceworks. Congratulations on getting me hooked to the sauce. Who else has and addiction that they need to deal with?

Meetings are on Fridays, bring a snack.

fredzanto · 2015-07-08T22:52:31.000Z

Should I bring one for the group? I am addicted to bacon Ritz at the moment.

Wait until you are on the verge of raising to the next pepper level. You’ll start posting, spicing up posts, and reviewing like there’s no tomorrow…

…then you see how much more you have to do to get to the next level and go back to normal behavior.

It’s the spice

I can stop anytime I want to…just maybe tomorrow?

It’s ridiculous. I will say this, more entertaining and educational than most of the stuff on TV.

My daughter is laying here asleep by me while I browse the forums and restore a server. Welcome to the club!

Robert-McE · 2015-07-09T02:51:43.000Z

People turn off Spiceworks?

Brony-Overlord · 2015-07-09T05:14:54.000Z

I know the feeling. I was watching TV and grabbed my tablet to check a thread that created yesterday, ended up here for over a hour just browsing.

I used to be, but it has waned significantly over the last few months. Something has changed but I can’t quite put my finger on it

Every day, work day that is.

I just simply don’t have time on my days off for this! However I can make time on work days :).

I was the same until it started to slowly creep in. “Hmm I wonder Draco8573 got any new dating advice”? “I wonder if there are any interesting threads that just popped up”. “What will that crazy community do next”?

I’m addicted but its how I pass the time at work

Hi, my name is TechGuy75 and i have a Spiceworks Watercooler addiction…

Colts · 2015-07-09T10:08:42.000Z

Yes, but only at work… unless I get an email about something on SW… or get bored… or talk about it at the dinner table… or… ugh.

travisfinch · 2015-07-09T10:08:45.000Z

I am constantly on SW everyday but if its nice outside good luck getting me off my motorcycle lol

mkarmil · 2015-07-09T10:10:52.000Z

It’s a good addiction to have. Great place to hang out and talk tech.

Yeah I usually don’t respond much though. I hit the pepper and enjoy others making the commentary. I should throw my hat in more often. I have learned that if you want to start a heated debate, all you need to do is say RAID 5 or I need a SAN. Oh man, I see those words and I know I am in for some fun reading.
