Mine was playing Tribal Wars online when work was quite, it started off as 10 mins here and there throughout the day, that soon turned in to half an hour every hour, which turned into looking all day every day from when I woke up to when I went to sleep, to make sure nobody was attacking my villages. That game is soooo addictive, stay away!

One of my other bad ones was putting a captcha bypass on my send message conversion page!

"now all you need to do is enter the 10 digit, case-sensitive, highly unreadable code."

That company became Overture.com and then in turn became what is known today as YAHOO MARKETING! Wonder what my 1,000 shares would have been worth by now?

Can you say...DOH! Ala Homer Simpson!


My biggest mistake was not getting in the game earlier. The people who bought the good domain names in mid to late 90s are now sipping their mai tais in the bahamas.

My biggest mistake was not digging deeper to figure out how to get in on buying some stock when Google had its IPO. I wasn't working *here* then, but I was in the tech business, and in a position to know what that stock was likely to do.

My biggest mistake was paying for SEO services to someone that did mostly nothing all day! My turn around was to learn it myself and then......hire quality help!

My biggest mistake is constantly expecting that major corporations will post basic helpful information on their site where it can be found.
I have lost days of my life to this. ****ers owe me bigtime.
