Hiding My Supercub.org Addiction

[WindOnHisNose]

I have been amazed at how many people view posts that I make on Medical Matters during working hours. You know there are lots of "Big Brother" type people out there in companies who sit in dark rooms, carefully analyzing where people are spending their companies time, wasting it surfing on the web for porn sites, or reading blogs or, worse yet, viewing Supercub.org. For crying out loud, I can put up a new post in the early morning, mid morning, noon, mid afternoon during hours that you know must be during working hours, and the number of views like immediately light up. An awful lot of wasted time, it seems to me...

So there I am, finding myself similarly afflicted with the supercub.org addiction, right there in my medical office. I find myself checking sc.org before beginning with patients, find myself sneaking into my office between patients. My staff was on to me for a time, until I figured out that the correct feng shui was to have the computer screen positioned so that I couldn't be sneaked upon (bad feng shui), bringing guilt and all that bad karma into my professional and personal life.

This lasted for a short time before the nurses came into my office to ask a question, edging forward as they asked the question, feigning needing to show me the chart so that they could lean forward and catch me in my addiction...very clever, they are, very clever. But I have found them out and am keenly aware of their methods.

Which brings me to the purpose of this post. We need an icon which quickly, imperceptably minimizes the supercub.org website so that we can effectively sneak into and out of this proverbial lair without detection. SJ, I don't think I am alone in needing such a minimizer icon...I think there is a significant market out there.

I have no doubt that their are many (far) out there whose energy levels would be significantly improved, whose dependance upon anti-anxiety medications would be drastically reduced should you develop this tool.

Help us, SJ, help us help ourselves.

Hi, my name is Randy, and I am a supercub.org addict.

I believe that at one time, Car Talk had such an icon.....maybe made the screen into an excel spreadsheet. Maybe someone can remember.

Windows machine. Click alt + tab. Takes you back to last application you were using. In theory it should take you back to your medical record program. Puts it behind that window. Windows key + m or d minimizes everything but that is suspect when you are at a computer with blank screen.

During March Madness CBS Sports has a boss button that switches to a excel spreadsheet.

Chris, way too many keystrokes for me. Old people like me need a single, solitaire icon. Youngsters like you can probably do the alt + tab. Geez, this can't be that hard to come up with, Chris, it cain't be that hard!

Go easy on youself, Randy. With time you can trust me( I know I am much older than you) you will only check in about 8 or ten times in a 24 hr period---my age is really showing. HA !!!!!

There's no question in my mind regarding EH having a program doing so, but some of us might be a little more vulnerable than others. I don't risk it. Might try Daily Dose loaded in another window or tab to click on...

Dayum, aren't you the BOSS? Tell them to NOT come into your office. That seems easier to me. But hey, I am just another Cub pilot.

Yeah, Torch, by gosh that is what I'm going to tell them! I'm the boss!

Except for the minor fact that I am the only guy, with 16, count them, SIXTEEN women "working for Me"!!! (My life can become very, very miserable). How about when you are passing through MSP sometime I'll pay you BIG BUCKS to come to my office and 'splain that to them! (I'll have the ambulance waiting in the parking lot)

Oh, yeah, Torch, I hope you will bring your wife along to 'splain the rules to them...heck, I better have the ambulance crew standing by in the hallway

Hi. My name is Tony and I'm a SuperCub.org addict. I cannot help myself. Before I know what I am doing I find myself already halfway through the homepage checking for new and interesting posts. I make myself late leaving for work, and at work I am watching for every available opportunity to check the SuperCub.org homepage for bumps and updates. I check it probably a dozen times a day before heading home from work. When I get home, the first thing I do is go straight to my computer and go right straight to SuperCub.org to see if there is anything new posted since my last visit. I then check my email, then right back to SC.org. Then I check accuweather.com, then right straight back to SC.org. Then I check the daily newspaper for current news updates, then right straight back to SC.org. Between then and the time I go to bed, I check it again every 15 to 20 minutes until lights out. When I wake up in the morning, the same routine starts all over again, even before I am fully dressed. I can't help it, I am a SuperCub.org addict. I am not in recovery. I am a hard-core addict.

SuperCub.org addiction must be a mental disorder of some sort. Fortunately, I don't have to report it on my FAA Form 8500-8. At least not yet, anyway.

And by the way. If you are the only guy in there with 16 women, and you are a gynecologist, you must have a really exciting life. SuperCub.org addiction is the LEAST of your problems....

Most 0f them are probably Eaton. He works nights as a jugalo, so has most of the day off.

Simple solution:

Eat LOTS of onions and garlic.......that'll keep em at a diStance.

Of course, that may also have unintended consequences in your personal life.....

But, it IS old school, if you get my drift.

At least, you're the boss! When I was in IT, the company had at least three programs running on everyone's company computer tracking every website, and every internal network connection and the time spent on each. I wanted to check my stocks during the day, and eventually brought in my laptop,connecting through an analog phone line in an equipment room(that management didn't even have security access to)....I'm glad we still had some analog phone lines, so I didn't have to make a microwave link to my house....

One of my IT buds said that auditing(the ges ta po) would come to him about once per week with an employee number, and he spent the day making a cd rom disk with every web contact that person made in the last month. Usually, that person was fired shortly afterwards....welcome to the pol ice state....don't think the gub mint isn't tracking what you do on the web....note the spaces...

Maybe I should just change the URL to "howtobemorebetteremployee.com" then it would not arouse suspicion in the tracking department...

This affliction is spreading overseas me-thinks! Perhaps it's the start of an irreversible trend that increases as time goes by.

Being retired has its perks - no-one looking over my shoulder! My dog, though, lets me know when I've been on the computer long enough, and it's time for a walk. Nudge, nudge, time to go.
