What do you do at 5:10pm? Win an iPhone 3G..

We are teaming up again with TSheets for another fun competition. This time, the challenge is simple, what does the blogosphere do at 5:10pm? The most fun and creative entry will win a new iPhone 3G..How’s about that then!

Why 5:10pm? Here, straight from the TSheets blog is their reasoning:-

“5:10pm is possibly one of the most celebrated times all around the world. You’re free. Great God almighty, I’m free at last! Granted, at 10 after 5 you may or may not be calling it a day, but by most standards you’re free to go if you so choose. And this is exactly what we want to hear about. How do you rock it at 5:10? What’s the coolest, craziest, most creative thing you do at 5:10? Tell us all about it…maybe you load up the iPod and have your favorite DJ slam your subway ride home? Is 5:10 the time that you slip the wingtips under the desk, strap your Specialized shoes on and blaze through commuter traffic all the while chasing Lance Armstrong along the Champs-Élysées? Send us as many entries as you’d like. Talk to us!”

How to enter:-

Take a picture, shoot a video and write a post (without picture or video should you prefer), the picture or video needs to be what you do or did at 5:10pm..You are not restricted to entering once, so be creative..

Please make sure to leave a link to the blog post in the comments here or on their work of art there..

On July 24th Matt Rissell, (CEO of TSheets.com), will announce the iPhone winners during the award ceremony with Brandon Zehm, CTO of TSheets.com.

RULES

  • Something indicating that it is 5:10pm (examples = Picture with clock in the background, Video with clock, or blog posted at 5:10pm).
  • A link labeled “time tracking” linked to http://www.tsheets.com and a comment on this page or their page here so that we can find your entry, tagging fuelmyblog will flag an email to us.

“You’ll score mad props from the judges by getting the most views or comments on your entry or if you give a shout out to TSheets. Props where props are due, but ultimately the most creative/crazy/cool post will land the ice.” (couldn’t have put it better myself!)

As a bonus, we’ll link to all entries on the fuelmyblog competition page here. If you do not see your entry on the list, leave a comment under here, thanks, have fun and good luck!

Oh,oh, another competition!Today I entered a competition to win a digital camera.I really need one…for ages!!!This iPhone3G is too much for me, I don’t even know how to use it!If I say “Beam me up, iPhone!” will it teletransport me to the nicest sunny place in the all universe with palm trees and warm water and fresh pineapple juice on my glass?!!A place where there is no poverty,no diseases, no suffering?If so I will enter this competition too…It seems Mandelas’s Hyde Park concert really affected my insensible numb brain…

@JohnC: Right up until they (TSheets) announce the winner on the 24th July :)

I would love to see what you do at 5.10pm..wait..that sounds bad!

It sounds great. However, what about us merry old souls who work erratically: evenings, weekends and all around the clock and calendar? Then again, I could fake a 9-to-5 existence…I used to be part of that stable(?) crowd. Thanks.

Michael,

You could always take a shot of what’s going on at work while the rest of the world in that zone’s going home. I bet there’s a bunch of ironic shots you could get that are really unique to what your experiencing.

Hi John,

I may do just that. If anything, I always seem to be going “In through the Out door anyway!!! Thanks for the advice.

@Michael: The question is more what do you do at 5.10pm..It could be anything, going for a run, getting the train turning off the laptop, making a phone call..!

Gosh… a great contest but that’s the time I’m having my bath! SERIOUS!

I think I would have to take a bath at 5.11pm then LOL

Emily - I have no objection to seeing a photo of you in the bath - naturally, I’ll close my eyes ….

KevinD,

I merely and incorrectly assumed that “5:10 PM” was to be limited to work-related themes. Being that it’s 5:10 PM in general, that obviously allows for a wider range of possibilities. This will certainly be fun. (By the way, since it’s summer here in New York City, I’m apt to take mundane yet mind-enhancing cold showers at around 5:10 PM.) Thanks.

I’ve done nudity involving interviewing a local gay politician on my blog. This shouldn’t be too difficult…the van…the upholstery…might go down to the beach.

If it’s of any interest to anyone out there (man or woman or child, dog or cat, etc.), I’m hereby submitting my post entitled 5:10PM & RE-COUNTING. I hope that my ramblings aren’t too over the top and that you’ll get some enjoyment from this fragmented tale…most of it is reputed to be true. Thanks to everyone at Fuel My Blog.

Here is my entry

I’m sorry about this, but the link I provided is linking to the wrong post on my website. When I checked it on my WordPress Dashboard it linked correctly, but here at FMB…I don’t understand the problem. Please help. Thanks.

I was going to join in, but the requirement to link to your tsheets.com site with a specific keyword is a little too spammy for me I’m afraid. Very similar to what a self catering establishment did in West Cork. Might as well call it pay per post and be done with it. Sorry.

KevinD (24 comments) says:
July 9th, 2008 at 10:25 am Reply to this comment

Donncha - It is not a pay per post, we are not paid for it, nor are you, they are giving away a cool bit of kit and of course, they want to at least get a link back for it.

I suggested they didn’t ask for keyword links but as we are doing it for free and after all it is fun, I left it in there (we are using their text), a simple link to their site to at least show your readers what on Earth you are talking about (in my eyes) is fine.

Would be great to see your entry, without the “spammy” links ;)
