Web Use In The Workplace Off The Rise.

A local Computer Engineer, Jimmy Spencer, spent a whole day at work working, and is upset about it.

"I really wanted to cruise the web to check the latest Online Gazette stories, but I had to work on a project instead. I mean, what happened to 'me' time anyway?", Spencer says. In his 12 years of working for the company he has always taken a few hours out of the day to keep apprised of the latest news. He feels that if his employer provides a computer and web services, he is entitled to personal web time, not having to do work for the whole day.

His manager, who refused to be named, inadvertently assigned Jimmy a lengthy and important project that will take up the majority of his time for the next few months, not realizing it would disturb his normal daily 'work' routine.

"Just what was he thinking, giving me all this work? Doesn't he realize I don't multi-task?", an incredulous Spencer asks. Spencer is considering looking for a new position in a company that, in his words, is not so totalitarian in it's practices.
