Survey Says…
Apparently “loafing” around on the internet is the most popular form of slacking off at work these days says news.com. It is funny because we have a temp right now. She doesn’t have much to do other than answer phones and she brought a magazine with her today to entertain herself during slow parts of the day. I thought to myself as I walked past the front desk “Why doesn’t she just surf the net, at least then she looks busy?”
The average worker admits to frittering away 2.09 hours per day, not counting lunch, according to the report. That’s far more time than the roughly one hour per day employers expect the average employee to waste, the report said. The extra unproductive time adds up to $759 billion annually in salaries for which companies get no apparent benefit, the report said.
Wow when you put into BILLIONS of dollars, it kind of makes you think… anway, back to frittering away my expected 1 hour for the day

So with that said….can we please have shorter work days?
A shorter work day would be divine. After all, we are just frittering away those 2 hours anyway.
