I always bring my book, and read for 20-30 minutes, then I can’t do it anymore even if I don’t have anything to do. Then I go home and study for 3-4 hours, but still feel guilty. I think I’m obsessed with this. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night I’m thinking about OCI, equiy, PPE and crap like that..even on my way to the restroom..lol..

I have been closing my door for an hour or two claiming to have a conference call or meeting and have been able to knock out some studying. I'm with you on that all I think about are different topics in FAR.

I close my door and turn on the heat and tell everyone that it is freezing as I bang out MCQ! I know they look at me crazy because I am in CALI and the weather is pretty decent. Ah well gotta do what I gotta do!

It's definitely a luxury I have. I would still try and sneak in MCQ's throughout the day if I had a cubicle though. When I was in one during my MBA courses, I would work randomly on papers when the “timing” was right.

@ markiux88…so funny I just had to post. I sat by AP for 2 years and it was miserable. Prior to that at my other company they were on the same floor. Always the same, talking about nonsense!! All day, nonstop chatter about EVERYTHING. I even have top of the line Bose noise cancelling headphones…I could still hear one of them. I just do not get why people feel the need to talk ALL day about everything. Good luck to everyone studying!

I usually read my ninja notes on and off throughout the day since they are PDFs, it looks like all of the other work that I am doing, in the office or not.

I used to try to get to work early and study then, but at some point I just had so much to do that it was more worth it for me to start working right when I came and try to get out earlier.

Forget about studying during the day at work. There's too much to do!
