We may not be around as much :(

I think it is so unprofessional to sit and play on your company's computer. That is why the IT folks often are asked to control access to the internet. It is no different than sitting on the phone while at work.

I think it is the difference between an employee vs. employer mentality.

We agree that we don't agree on this.....but hey, someone thinks its not appropriate if companies are stopping access or limiting it.

Sorry if my opinion offends. It's my opinion. We are all entitled to one.

I am self employed. I have no employees. I got up from my desk chair one day and turned around and looked at the chair. Out loud I said, as I was pointing my finger at the chair, "you have got to stop spending so much time on Pet Talk and other sites and get some work done!"

I sat back down and said to myself "oh, rats, I got busted!"

As a result, I am not on Pet Talk as much because my boss is really a B____!.

LOL!

OK...here's a post (from home) as Sunny graduated from puppy kindergarten tonight. I will post more pics under "dog general"

My lunch break is an "unpaid" one. I don't feel the least bit of guilt logging on to PT while I'm eating lunch at my desk. However it's also important to note that it doesn't happen every day. 9 times out of 10 I work straight through lunch so again, I don't feel guilty for my occasional "surf" time....like now for instance.....a few minutes before I leave for the day.

I am in the IT department here and we don't monitor email nor do we monitor internet usage. In my opinion, if Managers are doing their job properly and monitoring their staff, then fooling around on the internet would not happen, or be kept to a bare minimum. That being said, I know of some senior staff who admit to checking out the stock market regularly....

Oh yes, and I try not to make/receive personal calls at work. If I do, it's always to/from my doctor or dentist to make appointments. Besides, I share an office with 2 other people so I really do have a privacy issue.

Gini.... I'm sure Rascal would have something to say about that!!!
