Default Honestly how many hours a day do you spend at work goofing off online or whatever?

For me typically, a solid 3 out of every 8 work hours is purely spent online browsing reddit or other time waster websites. Now that it's the slow season with regards to the oil patches getting floods or whatever up north, I spend less than an hour a day doing actual work. Our economy is RIDICULOUSLY inefficient when you think about it.

Am I the only one who is shocked that Option84 is old enough to have a job where he has enough independence to slack off 7 hours a day?

You also need to read reviews on 3d Fatheads so you don't get ripped off when buying one

Depends how busy I am at work. A lot of days I don't spend any time online. On a slower day, I might spend 1-2 hours. I'd say maybe 30 minutes on average.

Yeah. Like I'm answering that. Option84 is obviously my boss trying to find out if I'm slacking off.

Yeah for every 10 min of work I probably spend 30 online at least. Its not my fault. I have to be here for 8 hours and they give me 2 hours worth of work to do tops.

Really depends on how busy it is. I'm an accountant so my workload during the year fluctuates pretty wildly.

When its slow around here, I spend a whole lot of time online. But when its busy it depends on if I eat my lunch at my desk and just catch up.

I'm in the same boat, my work is cyclical. There are weeks where I might have an hour of work a day, others I'm going flat out and working OT.

Diversionary tactic. I'm certain it is no coincidence that the number of inane threads has risen dramatically during the summer months when school is out.
