I have been in back to back challenges since late march this year and have had a constant access to the update button, even sometimes 2-3 shots the same week but now I have not got an entry in and the lack of the update button is killing me! What the heck am I supposed to do with my time now at work? Actually WORK??? Any suggestions?

I too am Update button-less at work. I'm doing a huge scanning project, which is fine, except there's about 25min of downtime after each scan as the equipment processes and creates the file.

I stagger my time at DPC with trips to Wikipedia. I just let it chose a random article and read it, then use the hyperlinks within to move to another. You end up reading some strange articles that way, and I always find it interesting to learn new things.

Not quite as intense as the Update, but sanity-preserving.

What's an update button?

One of the perks of paid membership :D
Actually, it's an arthritis-inducing button that forces us to check our scores every 30 seconds to 2 minutes rather than waiting a WHOLE hour, and is the most addicting thing known to man.

Only if you feed us several drinks first, then take advantage of us in our badly inebriated state! (holds out large, empty stein)

I've been clean and updateless for 17 days now. You just have to take it one day at a time. :P

Is there a 12-step program or something?

I wonder which one is easier... quit smoking, or quit "update" buttoning!!!... i think I just created a new word :P

Whenever I realize I am in that "black hole", I take my camera and shoot pictures around... anything and everything... and they keep me busy :)
