Internet Play at Work

Hey, this is CR4. If you are retired, then the question is N.A.; otherwise, 'fess up!

Does doing this count as diversion or work?

(I am currently at work)

To answer the question, yes i use the internet for non-work purposes, but I do not use social networking sites or play games at work. I do cruise CR4 and other sites where I might learn something that will relate to work. I keep up with the news and read an occasional article that catches my eye.

Why is it that this is such a common question these days but nobody has ever asked me if i ever think about work while at home on my own time?

That is my method also. Plus I spend more than 8 hours at work, so it balances out.

They get 8 hours of work, not just a body for 8 hours and only 5 or 6 hours of work.

Likewise, I've sent emails to my work with ideas. or I've left voicemails. (While driving)

Well, certainly, I try not to. I'm not a gamer, so that helps...even though The Strong-National Museum of Play (where I work) has recently created the International Center for the History of Electronic Games. That aside, I have a very inquisitive mind, and I often find myself looking up 2 or 3 more things after I read about the first thing I looked up. That's what I find addictive about the Internet. It's the world's greatest resource, and it's hard not to look other stuff up after you've found the stuff you were looking for initially.
