    I find that during the week, I have only a limited amount of time to do wedding stuff, so I do a lot while I'm at work too!  I know it's bad, but I can't help it.  I'm getting my work accomplished, but I'm also getting wedding tasks accomplished too!

    Do you do this?

    Yea, that's pretty much where I usually am when I'm on WeddingBee.

    the majority of the time that I am on weddingbee (like right now) I am at work. I may or may not have booked all of my vendors while at work and No! no I absolutely did not bring all of my water bottle labels to work today so that I could use the paper cutter.

    So . .. um. . .yes, yes I do

    Hahaha. Love this post. I checked WB before I even got a cup of coffee this morning. I have a work to do list everyday and a wedding to do list everyday. Trust me, more gets accomplished on the wedding list. Ooops

    Thats actually how I got all my invitations done, at work!  (I made all the bows myself)  Luckily my boss is my future MIL and she doesn't care as long as I'm answering the calls. 

    If I didn't have this job I don't think I would have been able to come up with so many ideas.  It definitely helps having internet access too.

    My job just recently ended... but I used to do wedding stuff all the time.  I even asked my assistant for her opinion when I was shopping for shoes online!  (Oh, that was NOT the reason my job ended!!)

    Ha...of course! I've done so much at work. Its hard b/c if I didn't do it at work, I don't know when else I would have had the time to research and contact vendors, etc. I've also created favors tags, programs and menus at work but I will take them to Staples for printing:-)

    I am rarely super busy at work, so its not like this is interfering with my daily tasks:-)

    Umm....thats when I do all my planning. My entire wedding has been planned while at work. I'm kind of worried that when its all over I won't have anything to do! My job seriously only takes .001% of effort. It's kind of funny because the other day I did like 3 things I don't normally do, just because WB was running slow and my boss asked if I wanted to go home early since I had done so much!

    I kid. I do my job and put that first. But yes, I'm on weddingbee and doing wedding research during the day too.

    Yes, only when we're really slow. But I had to take about 8 hours of work home this past weekend (grrr - totally cut into my DIY time) so I don't feel too bad about printing a few items here or there.

    All the time! Sometimes just because there is stuff to do, other times just because work is boring.

    Well I'm on Weddingbee all day at work, although not always looking at it it is just a quick click away!  Plus I have done a lot of my research for wedding related things at work.  Everyone has down time at work at some point, so I figure why not?

    yup!  I think just about every bride that works does this! LOL! 

    Of course, I also do a lot at home, too, but only when the kiddies aren't requiring mommy.

    I do, but I feel like I have a more fluid job than most so I don't really feel that badly about it. For example, I absolutely spend some of my 8-6 time online doing wedding stuff (obviously)... but my job isn't really just 8-6 it is as-needed. If I have to work late, I work late. If I have to work weekends, I work weekends. I feel like I'm (and really, I am) on call 24/7 so work and personal kind of has to be mixed.

    YES! When else am I supposed to contact vendors? It's not like they operate outside normal business hours. In addition to that, I've done a lot of my research (price comparisons, photographer search, etc.) online and it's hard not to do it at work when I'm sitting all-day in front of a computer screen.

    ALL.THE.TIME!  I have the tabbed browser at work, so I keep my work program (which is all online) on one tab, the bee on another, and my personal email on another!  I really wouldn't accomplish anything if I didn't do it at work.  Besides, my supervisor loves seeing what I'm planning and doesn't mind as long as I'm getting my work done!

    YES - 100% and for some reason I don't feel guilty. At the moment I feel I am getting paid to wedding plan and not paid to work Tongue out  My boss leaves Monday for a 3 week trip in Europe and I have already made two wedding appts next week, the appts are in the middle of the morning, haahaahaa

    Absolutely. I've done most of my wedding planning while at work. It sounds terrible but those are prime hours for booking appointments! I get my work done as well. I think it's difficult to be a bride with internet access at your fingertips and not plan!

    Oh yea I've done most of my wedding planning and research while at work. I'm afraid that once this wedding is over, I'm going to be really bored at work. It definitely helps the days pass by quicker. haha.

    I wish I could!!  Our computers are monitored and most non .gov or .mil sites are blocked! :(  I am, however, able to get to my personal email and I access that to check if i've received vendor emails.

    One lady I work with asked me when the big day was, and I looked at her, totally confused, "What big day?" because when I'm at work, I'm in work mode, when I come home, I switch to wedding mode.

    I have waaay to much to do at work during the day! My co-workers think I'm such a calm bride, but I just come home and freak out then. :)
