You know you're addicted to LV when... (slight return)

Everything except LibriVox (yes, this is where knitting gets discussed. Now includes non-LV Volunteers Wanted projects)

I cannot go a couple of hours without checking my posts even do it whilst at work now just can't wait till I get home.

Also finding really great projects that I would like to read on then finding out it is not PD for me :(

Yep, seems to be a common problem for LibriVoxers.

1:Don’t go to the forum for a day or two.
2:Come back to find you have ten million notifications and seventeen PMs(slightly exaggerated :wink: ).
When you come back after a couple of days and click on each notification, so you can un-bookmark the ones that are all claimed up and off your potentials list.

You are dreading the outage on Monday 5th April and pray it only lasts three hours. :help:

I suppose that I am lucky it will happen while I'm at work. The worst thing I'll experience is not being able to kill time during my down times by checking notifications.

We are on school holidays here so I have a whole week free to devote to Librivox. I am glad it is only down for a few hours and not a few days. :D

Not if you were Admining whilst dancing a Viennese Waltz. (Shades of my youth).

The scary bit is ... who was my dancing partner? :lol:
