    I think that computer playing is for home -not for the office.
    Everyone's job is different.

    Part of the day I work in my office and I'm swamped and have no down time. But 3 times during the day I cover the switchboard so the receptionist can take her breaks and lunch.
    That's when I come here to PT to post.

    Does that mean that my job isn't necessary?
    No, it just means that I have a few breaks from the madness of my crazy work day to relax and come here and check on my friends.

    Moon- Sorry about the IT dept.
    Hope you can find a way to stop in as often as possible!

    I guess its good to work in the IT department

    I had a lot of downtime between assignments due to every boss having to review every little change and revision I made to the program I was writing. When working in a lab, some tests required hours to complete but they didn't require supervision (ever watch dirt dry? lol)

    I think as long as the employee is meeting (and exceeding) expectations a little reward is a good thing. There is no reason to punish all just because a few people are screwing around.

    Back to the original topic tho, I hope you can get on more and share pictures! We'll miss you!

    I too never left my job.... I did my job and with my spare time I logged in... if need be I went to work again and leave the "games" for later...

    but when you´ve done all you had to do and you have nothing else to do what can you do?... LOL

    logging was a "treat" itself.. so if I wanted a treat I should what was asked for, just like a dog sits for a treat... I agree happy workers work best.....

    and I agree with Angie all jobs are different..... and yes some employees perhaps a lot waste their time and do not do their jobs as theya re expected because they are all playing... and the few that do get blame for the many that don´t...

    I'm sorry you won't be able to log on as much anymore. I hope you will find time to log on from home. We will need our Moon, Bean and Sunny fix every once in a while!!

    I check in on PT just about every hour. I may only be on for 2 minutes, but I check in to see if any new threads are up.

    Just now, while reading this thread, my supervisor came into my cubicle so I minimized it real quick and brought up my email (because I did have new email). And she said - I don't care what you are looking at.
    She's told us before, as long as we get our work done she doesn't care that we surf the net sometimes. And I always get my work done by the end of the month and actually take work from another department to help them out.
    However, there are always threats from the boss man that our internet access is going to be limited. But honestly, that's not possible. Because people need internet access for job related things. Hee hee
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Thanks guys! I should have said earlier that all of my threads that contained pictures have been done from home as that's where my pics are stored and photobucket, etc... so I will still continue to post pics and threads when I have to share (Sunny is graduating from puppy kindergarten tonight so a pic of her in her graduation cap is sure to follow) .

    I just know I won't be around as much and would've felt funny to not say anything as I think we all tend to get used to frequent posts by certain members and I would feel badly if I missed an important post or a Happy Birthday post, etc... so I wanted to give an advance heads up as to why.
