Do you and your sweetie keep in touch throughout the day? Do you speak during the day or do you wait until you get home at the end of the day to talk? If you do speak during the day, how? Phone, text, email, chat, facebook?
The Hubs and I drive to/from work together. During the day, we'll usually check in with one another 2-3 times, either via text, email or Gmail chat.
FI and i usually don't talk/email throughout the day..unless something is going on then we'll text each other ..and see each other when we get home of course.
We talk alot during the day, probably too much since we are supposed to be working. Id say on the phone we probably talk about 5 times a day during work (more if another call comes through and I have to call him back), we text alot and sometimes I will send him an email. I have a bad short term memory so I will call him each time I think of something so I dont forget it later. Thats a lot of phone calls or texts :)
He gets annoyed if I call him too much during the day, but is sad if i don't at least text him. :) I try to keep it at a happy medium!
We usually don't talk too much during the day. We're both at our busy peaks at different times during the day. But we will call/text/e-mail if something is up.
We're also off and on through email for part of the day. It depends on how busy we are! We'll talk to each other at least once on the phone.
We don't talk during the day as he is too busy and even if I did call him he wouldn't hear his phone ringing. He usually calls when he's on the way home.
We talk at least a couple times a day on the phone while we are at work, usually one of us calls to say good morning since he is usually out the door before I wake up. Then usually once at lunch and depending on how busy or bored we get at work we'll talk a third time in the afternoon. Occassionally we text, but mainly it is a phone call!!
We rarely talk on the phone during the work day unless it's something very important. We used to talk a LOT via gmail chat -- but realized after a while that we were a) bugging each other too often; b) not getting our work done!; and c) didnt have much to talk about at the end of the day ... now we check in throughout the day and send each other links (to houses or jobs to apply for) but try to keep the real "talking" for when we are in person.
We send each other texts during the day and talk when we can but he can't always talk on the phone with his job so I always look forward to getting home :)
We text anywhere from 1-20 times a day. It depends on how busy he is at work. And sometimes he calls me when he is on his lunch hour.

My guy sends me a sweet text every morning (he goes to work before I'm even awake), calls during his lunch break, and then he calls when he gets home. We live in seperate states right now though, so we're a bit excessive and Skype together every night!
I've always wondered how other couples handle this, too.
My fiance and I like to try and e-mail each other at least once a day, just to say hi. I dunno, it kind of makes the day break up, and keeps us sane, especially if work is stressful that day.
But typically, I'd say we e-mail/text 2-4 times a day. We're just cool like that :) If we have a lot going on (like, for example, with wedding plans), we e-mail a lot more.
FI works as a trader for a financial firm, so he can't answer his phone or check his email during market hours, since he has to be watching the market all the time (he says it's like a video game!) I text if there's something important, and email him about all the other little things that come up, and he answers the emails once the markets close, before he has his end-of-day meetings and things. It's fun to get the little flood of emails at the end of the day!
My husband and I are constantly communicating during the day. Of course on busier work days it's less but the average is 20-30 emails a day. We rarely call, and never text each other.
We rarely talk on the phone while either of us is at work. If something comes up we'll send each other quick text, but that also doesn't happen too often. Since he's a firefighter he's busy putting out fires and saving lives and since I'm a teacher I'm busy focusing on the kids, so we just don't have a way to be e-mailing or anything. It's nice, though, because when we are actually together we have more to talk about.
I have to say, and not to sound mean, but I used to hate when I worked in an office and I could hear, through the cubicles, coworkers on the phone all day with their SO...I just felt like I could hear too much of their personal business and a lot of it I really could have lived without ever hearing.
Mr. Starfish is a firefighter and his station has no service while he is inside. He will call me sometimes when he is riding on the way to the store to pick up food for lunch or dinner and at least 2x at night. Once to check in on how each other's day went and once to say good night. On days he doesn't work I get a lot of texts.
actually just got off the phone with him... we usually talk during lunch breaks and bbm a few times a day, but we're usually both on google chat all day, so if there is anything going on we usually chat that way.

We never talk on the phone now that we live together. We usually e-mail once a day, to talk about dinner plans and our day, but that's about it.
I love the diversity in the responses. When fi and I were in a long distance relationship, we never talked during the day unless it was an emergency. We only talked about 3-4 nights per week, because my fiance isn't a big phone talker. We texted rarely, maybe once or twice a day, usually in the evenings on days we didn't talk.
Now that we're married, (and have one car), he drops me off at work and I usually call/text him around noon to figrue out dinner, ask him to get something done/pick something up, etc. We spend all night together, so we usually don't feel the need to talk during the day.
We talk several times a day on the phone at work. We work only a few blocks from one another, and nearly every day at 3 p.m. we take a short walk together. We arrive and leave work at different times though, so we don't usually commute together, even though we have the same physical commute by subway train.
We don't talk too much during the day. mainly texting. Hes and machinic and i'm a hairstylist so its hard to talk on the phone and do either of our work. We both normally go to lunch around 1 so if we do talk on the phone its always arond then.

We talk in the morning (usually on my way to work). Sometimes an email or two, if i have something to show him. Texts maybe 8 times throughotu the day or more if we're in a mini conversation. Phone call on the way home, maybe one more during dinner, then a call before bed. We live apart....otherwise we'd just be talking in person.
I loooooove having text messaging!
We live together, yet we talk to each other at least twice during work, once in the morning (usually around 10:30) and during the afternoon (usually around 3:30) the morning call is to talk about how work is going & what we're eating for lunch & the afternoon call is usually just complaining about work and telling each other that we can't wait till 5:30. Once in a while he will call me during lunch also if something happened at work that was funny or annoying :)
Girls-
The other day I didn't call my guy because I was worried I had called him too many times that day. He didn't call me either, but I wasn't concerned.
About two hours after I got off work, he called me. He said, 'I was trying not to call you because I was worried about annoying you, but I miss you so much!"
I just thought that it was funny that we were both worrying about something so silly. :)
While we are both at work - at least once (just to say hi). It's our "good morning" ritual that I love.

We both IM through Skype during the day, but only respond when we aren't busy- so sometimes the IM's are nothing more than "I miss you/can't wait to see you/love you" sweet little messages. 
Makes the day go faster.
We talk a couple of times a day. Usually around 10am and then again once or twice in the afternoon. I call him...he is usually busy, but he'll chat. :)
We usually text, and because of my random work sched, and his fairly predictable one, we often chat for a few minutes on the phone during a break or lunch break =)
we always talk in the morning to say hi and we made it to the office - we both have personal trainers at seperate locations for 6am sessions so 4 days per week we leave the house EARLY and shower at the office and then during the day we will chat a couple of times - depends on the workload & schedules. i only email him if im passing on information/links to be discussed
We usually text eachother 2-3 times a day and usually I get a "Miss you lover" text, I love it, lets me know he is thinking about me.
we im throughout the day as we're online all day. then he calls me when he's coming home from work until he walks through the door.
heh, I also wondered what other peoples' habits were on this. When we were long distance, we talked a lot more during the day, and even when I moved in, I'd try to call him when I got a chance once in the afternoon or so, and he used to call on his lunch break, but once he got a new job our free time didn't really match up and he's a lot busier. We would text instead, but the screen on his phone is broken and he literally can't see ANYTHING, so it's pointless (but we get new phones soon so hopefully that changes!). Occassionally we'll send an email or something, and I can call if it's important, but otherwise we both just call each other on our way home (he leaves work at 4, and I leave work at 6:30). I'm the clingy type and it took me awhile to get used to not talking to him through the day (plus, as a nanny, I was surrounded by a baby all day and didn't mind the adult interaction lol). It's not that I'm worried or don't trust him or anything, I just love hearing from him that much! I still get a little jump in my stomach when I see that I have an email or text from him, or see him calling :)
What's kind of funny is that my dad got remarried after my parents were officially divorced and we'd spend the weekends at his house. Sometimes his new wife would be off at work but she always called on her lunch break. At the time, I thought that was a bit excessive and was kind of annoyed, considering they lived together and saw each other every day, but I guess now I get it lol (he later divorced her as well, but that's beside the point).
We IM alllll day. But he's not a great IM conversationalist, so it doesn't do much. We also commute on the train together every morning and evening.
We email back and forth at work all day, we talk on the phone one or two nights during the week, and we spend the entire weekend together every week.
The fi works some odd hours (afternoons till about 10 at night), so he will usually call me on his way in to work, and sometimes we'll send a few txt messages if we aren't too busy. Then I wait patiently for him to be finished for the night to come and hang out with me so we can speak in person!
FH and I email on and off throughout the day - the number of times is highly variable based on how busy we are at work!

FH and I are long distance right now. He's in Vancouver, BC and I'm in central California. We're always logged into MSN and unless he's at work we talk pretty constantly throughout the day. Wish we could talk more in person!
I usually email him first (because I get to work first) and then we'll email back and forth throughout the day or talk on Gchat (the devil and the greatest thing ever).
