I second the motion haha.
Yeah, this is kinda true. on a side note, I had a friend who had a friend who worked in P&G and she used the internet for non-work related stuff. Apparently they were monitoring those things and at the end of the semi-annual report, her statistics showed 99% of her time on the internet was spent browsing non-work related sites and she visited over 1,000,000 sites in 6 months!
I usually download the stories at home. Never at work (primarily because of biases yeah). At work, I'm a co-head in the I.T. dept (more on the management side than technical) and we decide what sites can be visited. We know about people visiting farmville, frienster, and all these other social networking sites but my policy is that as long as they get the work done it's fine by me. Heck, I even find flash games installed in their computers! I recognize the fact that the work can sometimes be boring especially for the clerks so a little reprieve from the monotony of work never hurts.
The only times I've ever reprimanded them was when I found Kazaa installed and one of the critical computers was infected with a viruses that automatically closed any application that opened. I wanted to ban the employees there from touching any computer in the office starting that day!
