"Productivity at all major companies in the Triangle came to a screeching halt around 4:00pm August 1. No one is 100% sure but they believe a debate on city-pages.com sparked by garner vs clayton, looking for smart kids and terrible builder ethics cause not only this decrease in productivity but an increase in people utilizing the lazy emoticon symbols to the right of this screen. Who has the best steakhouse, what is your commute and finally where is a good hair salon are also amongst the thousands of worldly important phrases that Trianglinians have on their minds today. Forget Iraq, forget the economy, I want to see pictures from Carolina Ale House Saturday evening and read about where the affluent blacks live or what is the biggest baddest gang in Raleigh/Durham (which by the way say more than a 50% decrease in homicides last year from 2005). Enjoy the rest of your evenings folks and happy posting."
Too true! I must admit that I occasionally wonder why so many people are free to post here during the day. Are people really posting from work?! I certainly hope not! Back when I was working, people would get in trouble for simply checking the headlines on CNN.com. Posting on a forum like this while on the clock was an easy way to get fired.
By the by, I'm free to post here during the day because I'm a housewife
I'm actually suppose to be working on the house...house is officially on the market tomorrow morning.. Sure I would have gotten quite a bit more done....really is a nice break though. P.S. When I'm working, I always take a peek during break....shhhhhhhhh
I post at work and don't mind saying so I work very fast and there are slow points throughout the day. I get all my work done and still have time to lurk around. I only post once or twice a day usually...
Ha, ha actually, I just heard on the radio this morning that the average time spent each day at work on non-work related activities is an astounding 3 hours per day!!!!!
Instead of working, we're writing/reading emails, surfing the net, paying bills, talking to family/friends/dr/dds on the phone making plans or appts. or chatting with our coworkers.
What this new found toy, the computer, will so to our overall productivity in this country remains to be seen.
Myself, I'm a summers off school para-professional (our fancy name for teacher's assistant) so my lost productivity is reflected in the housework I don't get done LOL!!!

Quite honestly I think it is extremely therapeutic...and quite addictive.
Very addictive - I just moved to a new office and I positioned my furniture so my screen is viewable to all who walk by. This is because in my last office nobody could see my screen and I found when frustrated with my actual work I was on the internet waaay too much. Now I'm tricking myself into good behavior.
