Get Back To Work!!!

The attached article says the average US worker wastes 1.7 of 8.5 work hours per day. Are you one of them? Wasting Time At Work

As the Hot Chicks' Blog Circle expands, I am spending more and more time while at work reading blogs :) but I wouldn't call that wasting time! Plus, there is a really thin line between work time and non-work time in my life, it seems :( Non-work time is usually only distinguished by alcohol intake being ok :)

What is this Hot Chicks' Blog Circle? Do you have to have permanent eyeliner to join? :)

As someone who shouldn't be online at work (yet whose company has not yet decided to block Blogger), I too have found myself periodically checking the circle of blogs I refer to as Friends of Kim Who Don't Actually Know Each Other In Real Life throughout the day. In fact, I often ask Rachel if she's read the blog of so and so (and as Kim pointed out recently, we all use blog names except for Kim).

I'm going to count this non-work time as time that is necessary to keeping me sane and happy despite the insanity that goes on throughout the day - hardly a waste of time! As a manager of a team of 16 (4 of whom were pregnant simultaneously) - I would hope that this type of activity were preferred over alcohol consumption (which is at times tempting).

I might average 6-8 hours of wasted day looking on the internet, talking on the phone, doing non-important stuff. Wow!! Now I have found out about the Hot Chicks Blog Circle...YESSS! Now another thing for me to check out!

Can I join the Hot Chick's Blog Circle??? I am hot... I have a blog... and I waste way more than that 1.5 hours a day at work... my early morning coffee break is 2 hours all by itself...

Wow, if my work had LESS INTERNET FILTERS, I would waste more time too.

I personally don't waste time. However, my second graders do it on a regular basis!

It's pretty hard to play on the internet from the checkout counter.

Considering I am reading this while I am at work, yes I am one of the people who waste their time at work.
