I do consider myself lucky because I can multi-task. In the morning I check Pet Talk before my email. I can then minimize the PT page all day and continue working on other stuff and keep checking back. If the higher-ups were to impose something like that on us, I'm afraid I would just have to break down and buy a PC for home, or do some digging and find out how to "unmonitor" my internet traffic.

Mruffruff: I agree. If it weren't for Pet Talk I'd have really bad days.
