And Maggie is right about the grocery & liquor store. I'm usually just a bit reserved about giving someone my phone number in a situation like that though.
My girlfriend's daughter tried the online dating thing. Didn't have that much success. She met a few guys, but nothing really worked out.

It is called multi tasking.

Nope, no work. I'm pretty pathetic. I need a life implant. Actually, I spend more time biting my tongue and fighting the urge to post a lot more than I do.

My husband and I met online ~ not through a dating site ~ but through a game site. That was in 1993. We got "married" online in 1994 (made a commitment to one another ~ which we consider our REAL wedding) and got married legally in May 1995.

Why for wanting me to work instead of surfing the net?

I guess if I were surfing the net it might be an issue. I don't have standard breaks or lunches. Sometimes I am working on a machine or talking with customers. Sometimes I'm sitting at my computer working. Sometimes I'm chatting with you good folks. My employer gets 110% and she knows it. 100% of minutes worked does not mean 100% productivity. Some bosses don't understand that. I understand it with my employees, my boss understands that of me. I am ALWAYS available for her regardless if it's a "lunch break" or not.

And sorry Mercy I wasn't meaning to "aim" that comment. I have been a bitch lately and have been looking for fights which is not my usual mentality.

efficiency and multi-tasking, yup

I don't take my full hour for lunch nor my full half hour of coffee breaks, so I periodically (constantly? ) take breaks for surfing/posting. I am a VERY fast reader/typist. Like, manic.

As long as people get their work done every day, my employer does not mind, or I imagine they would block web access for people.



I wouldn't apologize, Dana. I find it funny how this question comes up from time to time, and it's always very 'innocently' phrased.

Well, you know I like to fight

Our computers are monitored, and every day when I log in to my computer I "sign" in saying I will adhere to their internet policies. Not that we all don't sneak a little internet time in occasionally, but too much.... and you're gone!!

Mercy, nice attempt at a thinly veiled group put down.
