The thought occurred to me while I was sitting here...for what is going on my 7th straight hour of trolling through posts, and bouncing b/w dz.com and my hotmail inbox...

Does anyone else spend, on average, 5-7 hours at work doing anything but working??!!

It amazes me that I still have a job[:/]...and I enjoy my job for the most part, but really - is this the best that corporate america has to offer??:|
good work - if you can get it...but really, why bother!! Toll-booth workers are more active than I am!!:S

Anyone?? Or am I just a sorry excuse for a corporate 'skydiver'??

I have my moments...gotta make time to check DZ.com, horoscope, 5 email accounts, current events on CNN.com...etc. By the time I get that done, new posts are made and I get mail. It is vicious cycle :)

[Laugh] well, I've been spending something like 3-4 hours a day reading and posting on here through my Blackberry pager instead of working! [Tongue] I'm surprised that I still have a job! [Crazy]

Feelin' the love!!!B|


good to know I'm not alone! And I hear you 'g8tor'...it is a vicious cycle...one i'm in as well!!

Any self-respecting employer should be warned upon interview process...if you see skydiving under hobbies/interests...expect little production from this employee!!!:D:D

You actually work 2-3 hours a day? Fuck, at one point I had so little to do I spent something like three months playing backgammon, while pretending I was working. The best thing, though, they gave me an on-the-spot bonus for working so hard! :D:D:D

FYI - Call it paranoia, but in light of recent events I personally refrain from making public statements like this. You just never know what can come back around and bite you in your ass.



Ya know, you and I think along the same lines. I was just going to remind them of recent events.

I remember that too, which is why I said "at one point." At my current job, I'm so busy, I'm always working, and putting in extra hours trying to get things done. ;)

Hey Billy, your boss is probably yelling at you to get back to work!!!:D Try looking over your shoulder every once in a while to make sure.:P:P:D:D

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Most of the employees in my dept have some kind of small mirror affixed to our monitors in cubicle-land. We are always situated with our backs to the cubicle entrances, so I can see someone passing by behind me... Well guess who started that trend... :D:D:D

Yep, work, sleep, work, sleep, work. Just got off a 96 hour shift at 8 this morning, and just woke up from a nice, 4 hour nap in my own bed. No access at work so theres a TON of posts to read here.

Don't get me wrong - I work when there's work to be done - and I like to think I'm good at it, but really - it's not a struggle to 'think' on my job...so I find I'm distracted more than most!

Of course - my rampant ADD doesn't help either!

I work for a large accounting firm...good firm, good people, but man - it can drag sometimes.

Oh well - I guess the problem is me...[:/]

No reason to PM the information to you. I think it's better for the other people that don't know the story to be educated too. Here is the link .
