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. |

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. |
I work from home, so does that count?

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!

Who needs a company computer anyways! I check out the Quilting Board on my cell phone at work! Fast and easy and my breaks and lunch are for me...not the company!

Quilty, oops I mean guilt!

I use a computer at work...but we aren't supposed to use non-work related sites unless on break. Somehow, I can't relate quilting to healthcare...so don't visit the site while at work.
