if you are at work and you are on line doing non work related things it is theft of time. period....
Frankly, I find a 10 or 15 minute break looking around online to let my brain cool down and relax every few hours makes me a better worker.

it you're at work & want a break, take it..away from your computer...walk around, stretch & be back when you're supposed to be...because the people who have to cover while your "on break on line" get bitchy when they have cover for you when you're not available for 20-25 minutes and i then have to deal with the whole mess..
same thing for smokers...why does it take 20 minutes to smoke a cigarette, and why does it always require 2 or more people to go at the same time?
no personal stuff on work computers...end of discussion where i work

I can't even meet her for lunch there and sit outside. No one is allowed on the grounds unless it is strictly business.
I agree with the person who spoke of the work ethic.

Whoever still subcribes to this thread, I have to say it's my Aunts Portable Building Business. I'm the office manager and she's ok with me being online as long as my work is done and everything is going well for the day. She'll even have me look up goofy things for her to look at. She doesn't do computer well at all. So it's more like my toy at work!

They don't call it a time-sink for nothing.
