hehehe...

I know I'm addicted to Specktra cos of the following:

**When anything happens... I'll be like oooh, I'll "ask someone/tell/find a post abt" on Specktra - MU or nonMU related!

**I cant buy any beauty product without having searched for every single post on it on specktra

**I wonder how many US ppl are logging on as I am logging off here in the UK at night- lol

**When I say I really should get to bed, but still want to see what a 'New Post' click will bring up... again n again!

**I use American words in conversation like Haul! lol...

**I am so with the comment abt the Thanks button... what a genius idea!
BTW, I would love a ITA button too!

**Mention the word specktra to all MAC colleagues at least 6 times in a day...

Oh dear...!! What are we like!

I am so obsessed!

when you read a thread with no new replies all over again! And watch the traincase pics you have seen already over and over again.

when the pc at work is sooo slow but you still sneak and run specktra and then clean clean clean cookies

OMG....I've only been on here a couple of months and I so relate

here are mine....

when you try your hardest to hurry up and make 20 posts so you can see the wonder that is the clearance bin
when you have to seriously think about the tutorial contest candidates before making a decision
when you have any makeup issue that you can't figure out.....and you turn to specktra for the answer
when your whole life you've been happy with makeup thrown in a bag....but now you dream of the ultimate traincase and vanity to store goodies
when one of your biggest reasons for buying makeup has turned into wanting to have an awesome haul pic
when you play in makeup every night trying to find that perfect 1st FOTD shot (still haven't found mine)

whew, can you say....addiction? lmao

If at anytime during this post you've answered yes or smiled while reading, you are addicted to SPEKTRA, and it is OK !!

By the way I answered yes to all of the post.

no way, what happened? I'm so scared of that happening to me, (with the office job)!

* When you reference specktra in everyday life among people that have no idea what you are talking about.

* When your SO knows everything thats going on with the ladies of Specktra and KNOWS THEM BY NAME

* When your SO tells you , " all you talk about is Make Up & Speckra"

* When you look at the Fotd's and decide you need to go out and buy EVERYTHING she used to create it

when you keep telling your self that you're going to turn off the computer at an even hour like 1am oh, but it's 1:07 now - just a little longer, just refresh the new posts one more time, just one more next page. Then it's 6am.

when your boyfriend makes fun of you because if you're on the computer you are always looking at makeup. When you should be looking for work but spend the day planning a trip to the nearest CCO 40 miles away. When you keep checking to see if there are new swatches to compare or future collection pictures to drool over.

when you lose track of your day making posts like this.

let's just say i spent way too much time on here and it added to up to 35 pages of history! i'm not blaming specktra because it was definitely my fault, but i took it for granted and just spent more time here than i should have during working hours. so as a result, i got the axe.
i started a new job this week so everything's okay now but like i said, never again. i can wait until i get home to view this wonderful site!

if you work for a big company and/or you know they have a major IT dept, then i would definitely be careful with your internet usage. someone can be watching you and you don't even know it. it's not worth risking to me anymore, so i'll stay off it until i'm home and on the weekends. so be careful!

Had this same exact thing happen to me! It was early in my office career (read I was young and inexperienced), one day my manager called me in the office and had a HUGE stack of papers on her desk. She pointed out that the papers contained all the URL's I had visited in the last two weeks. HAHA Her husband was the IT guy, I didn't know a THING about office politics. It really depends on how "cool" your IT guy/dept is. Being let go because you used the internet for non work related purposes isn't a highlight of my career, but I'm glad I didn't let it deter me from forum communities or else I might never have added a forum to Specktra!

that's pretty much what happened to me and i thought i was cool with the IT guys because i had expressed an interest in going into the department. when it comes to them doing their job though, they sure didn't play around! no favoritism involved whatsoever. the manager had a huge stack of papers of my urls as well. the sad thing? i've had plenty of office jobs so i'm way old enough to know better.

and i think i speak for everyone when i say we're glad you didn't let it deter you either. as you can see, some us can't go without this site!

You certainly learned something from the experience and you have a great attitude about the situation, I think that's fantastic. I am sorry you had to go through that though.

jennifer. · 07-03-2008, 12:39 AM #69 (**permalink**)

thank you. i was a little sad at first, but definitely not surprised. i guess it's one of those things where you feel invincible because you haven't been found out yet and then bam! you're gone.

i urge everyone to be careful about your non-work related internet usage at work. now's definitely not the time to lose your job!

Mizz.Yasmine · 07-03-2008, 01:47 AM #70 (**permalink**)

hmmm i dont even know but im obsessed! haha u guys are all so hot, i love seeing everybody playing with makeup and learning new tips.

stacylynne · 07-03-2008, 04:04 AM #71 (**permalink**)

Hmmm...
When you tell your loved one that they are your HG, and they look at you like you're freaking nuts, so you have to explain HG, and that it means Holy Grail. I think I said, "You know, my Holy Grail, my go to guy, the one I can't imagine life without." Yeah, I'm still getting teased about that.
