    Reminds me of a great Matt Groening cartoon from Work is Hell:

    "How to Kill 8 Hours a Day and Still Keep Your Job"

    Sample:
    3 Questions to ask yourself:
    Have I checked my work?
    Have I double-checked my work?
    Have I triple-checked my work?

    Had a Biz writer at our place years ago who was writing a book on his work computer and saving it in our system.

    He later quit, went to Vanderbilt to work on his master's degree, and is now a lawyer, last I heard.

    And, sadly, I bet somehow she'll end up with a better job because of the press this has gotten. :(

    Dammit, I should have been less productive!

    I do the same, but I delete my thoughts every day for fear of ending up like this dumb ass.

    WSKY,

    Be careful with that. Some companies can monitor not only what Internet pages their employees view, but what keystrokes the employees make as well.
