Heres the story.

My father owns pubs. I run a pub for him, where there is living quaters above it. I have a room there above the pub. (Sky and Internet ) - so when the bar is quiet, or when I have enough staff on, or when all the work is done, I come and play FM

I don't play it at work a lot. But I have done in the past.

ie. My boss goes on a 4 week holiday to Canada, basically I'm left to my own devices as we're such a small company. If I run out of work, then I'll certainly spend some time on FM if I've remember to bring my disc and memory stick.

But most of the time I'm happy spending any free work-time browsing these forums Like now.

I play at work, my boss isn't bothered as long as my work is up to date, he sits on Call Of Duty when he's not working, I should get him into fm!

Back in the day (1998-2001), we'd spend our dinner hour playing Duke Nukem 3D on PC. Each member of staff on their own computer, hooked up to the network. Now THAT is a fun way to spend your dinner hour at work Ka-boom.

Ive tried playing it at school during a media lesson, the teachers are more liek supervisors. Their was banter as all my mates play it.

Nepenthez - you are living the life, not only do you play when you want, but you live in a pub!!

I don't actually live in the pub anymore, since I bought a house, but yea, It's certainly brilliant .

I browse the forums at work, always giving furtive looks to the side to see if anyone is watching! I never play at work though - that really would be totally unacceptable

That siad, for a short time I did have FM installed on my PC at work when I was doing my PhD and had my own office. Then I moved into a bigger office with other people and it was out of the question!

Yeah im at Uni next year studying International Football Business Management - Im going to be Mourinho!!! Haha

I am my own boss. If I want to play FM then I do. That's why I employ staff.

Legend.

I had to watch Gone with the Wind for my Film Studies degree at Uni yesterday. If only I had taken my laptop in with me... *sigh*

M aunty was manager of the comedy store in picadilly circus, the bloke in the office there had FM on the PC....they got me to uninstall it

I play at work..

I work shifts so no big wigs are about.

I just use my own hard drive, setup XP and just have to remember to take the disc to work with me..

I played it a lot, while I was working night shifts, I was alone there so no problems at all. Tried it once on a day shift, but the boss came in while I was dealing with customers (I ran the game in the backoffice on his computer). That was one nervous moment, but luckily he didn't go straight to the office, so I had time to exit it. I haven't done it since, though.

Playing FM at work? Disgraceful - utterly immoral.

That's why I spend my time on these forums instead

i guess when i was working (got an operation so cant work at moment) it would be near impossible for me to play. Ive had to jobs. One in McDonalds, which even thouhg every machene they have there is on windows vista fm couldnt install because of all the mcdonalds big mac *****. and then working as a porter in a hospital. I haye to try and play FM and move those patients at the same time. I really want to get an office job.

I would get caught playing FM at work but i'm the same and stick to the forums.

How on earth can you be doing a film studies degree and be bored by Gone With the Wind, it's a classic.

@ys ago i installed FM06 on the mac at work.

I had it on all the time in windowed mode and when ever i heard footsteps id minimize the window.

Had a few close calls like when its loading up the next days info and the window wouldnt minimize and id get up and panic, and do some stretched in front of the screen so no one could see

If I tried to play FM at work, I would be certain to be caught.

I would then be firmly disciplined, and sadly not by the delightful Amanda from Accounts.

at school, home, military, work, other people's homes, ships, busses, hell invent a waterproof laptop i'd play it underwater!

Try this for painful.

I booked a weeks leave for next week and have been looking forward to FMin the days away between 9 and 5 while I have the chance.

Last night I came home to a present from the wife...... 3 tins of paint, a roller, a set of paint brushes and 5 rolls of wallpaper

Well, you can always go be a tester at SI. Then you get told off for not playing FM enough. How's that for realigning your perceptions?

Being a tester isn't just about sitting playing a career game of FM every day you know

Oh, and I play FM at work! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

If you have any jobs going, could I have one? I've been playing FM for years and I only command a six-figure salary.

i did it for about three or four months last year but then i realized that all the crowd around makes me lose my focus. So my ajax team didn't do all i wanted and i've abandoned the game. I still have the save game and might try it again.

it's not a problem as i work as a journalist and when i do my job there's no obstacle, despite my girlfriend...

even my boss played fm when he was younger so he is full of understanding, now he plays civ by email.

I play at work constantly..........I'm at work now............yeehaa.

I mainly work with my ears listening to audio so my hands are free do tap away at my keyboard playing FM.

I actually find it helps with my job because I pick up even more minute sound defects when I'm not 100% concentrated on listening.

One of the guys I manage also plays FM while at work while doing the same job and I encourage it.

I remember that my history teacher used to play CM in lessons.

Alt + tab.

Not that I do it. I can't - only administrators can add or delete programmes.

I spend enough time on these forums, for which alt+tab is also useful.

Of course, when I see something useful for my game such as a neat new tactic or good player I've not heard of before, I do sneak out a bit early to get some extra gaming in before the missus gets in.

Gawd, I'm sad.

What's your job?

Sorry for double post by the way.

I take over my PC at home, once in a while, to sneak a couple of minutes in on the game, when my supervisor is gone for a meeting.

Should not be doing it, but I cannot help it, I'm addicted!

Our history teacher was pure class. He let us play Q3 during project hours, stating he played it himself at home. Also when he went to Strasbourg with the school and some students he was always out drinking at nights, and he was so hungover he fell asleep at some European Parlament meeting they where attenting.

I'm playing now at work, boss is out in meetings, get in!! Come in Spireites!!

i play at work everyday, boss doesnt mind, actually not the first time i ended up discussing tactics with him!!

When i was working shfits for BT i used to play CM3. It was installed on the Panasonic Toughbook we used to have in the office (that we used when engineers called us up with problems about them), was class!

Just to say i can't play at work anymore, io'm a programmer these days so theres not much time sat around twidling my thumbs (big shame! ).

i am a nurse so would be nothing short of dangerous to be concentrating on this at work!

i work for a ISP so weekends are long and boring, films, fm and and music has to occupy me:P

Currently manager of Watford FC and doing well

i've got too much work to do to be playing the game at work.

i can see it being quite boring if you've got enough time to be playing FM not to mention if your not supposed to be then there's allways the risk of being caught

I'm a teacher and desperately trying to think of a curriculum that is based around FM... haven't quite managed it yet. Think I might strike in protest.

I play at work all the time when I'm in the office. I spend a few weeks in the office then a few weeks traveling back and forth.

No one really comes in my office and if they do they can't see my screen anyhow, and my day I spend mostly going over reports and making phone calls. So I tab back and forth between FM and get most of my playing in when on the phone since I am often on hold anyhow.

check this out. Its a cloaking device for your computer which connects via usb. It will be perfect for anyone who is looking to play FM (or any game for that matter) at work.
