How much time at work do you spend on the net?

So how much? ie in the time you are getting paid to work in How much time do you spend surfing the net for personal -not work- activities.

Me Id say currently 3 hours a day. This will drop to zero when i get my new job wher i prob wont even have access.

So.........

Until recently (all caught up at work) 0 hours. I prefer to surf on my own time.

way too many. My job is ridiculous I have like no work to do right now, and since Im leaving in a few weeks have no motivation to care. If you include the time I spend on the Instant Messenger also as internet time then probably 5 hours of the 7 i work.

Sometimes none because I don't want to or am actually working.

Other days, nothing happens and it may be up to 12 hours. Yesterday, I was doing a myspace page and it took several hours to make it look like I wanted. Nothing was happening so I got bored and made one.

ugh oh, welch is on myspace too?

on slow days i'd say i spend 6-7 hours surfing the net, and on busy days only 2-3. i get to work usualy at 6-7am and nobody else shows up until atleast 9am and clients are not in their offices etc. i need my morning quiet/surf the net/drink my coffee time before i am able to do any work at all.

i feel like peter from office space, 'it's not that i'm lazy, it's that i just don't care'. lol. most of my money comes from commision so on slow days i have zero motivation.

yeah it's a great waste of time. i set up my entire page at my old job. lol

the nice thing is you can set your profile to private so only people on your friends list can see your info and your pictures. i only approve people i know because there are a lot of weirdos on there. it's a great way to keep in touch. this is how lazy i am. i don't have to call people anymore. i can just post a comment or write a quick message to see how things are going and not get sucked into a 20 min conversation...

welch, damn it i want to see the face! pm me your url whenever you want, i'll send ya mine.

Not this time. Although I am a sucker for what my kids want me to do. This time it was adult co-workers and colleagues in surrounding counties. So I made the page, I haven't given any of them the url yet though.

Quite a bit, but only when I don't have work stuff to do. I'm a lab tech, so there's a lot of down time for me.

Being an online trainer and nutritionist...um...a lot? lol. I'm self employed though. And being online IS working, at least often...
