I have never been able to come on here at work - old job we didn't have the outside world internet, and new one I daren't risk it as internet useage is allegedly heavily monitored, and the company policy is reasonable and appropriate use (which in real terms is not in working hours: before, after and in lunchtime is fine, and no porn, offensive, defamatory or anything that might cause the company name to fall in to disrupute is not allowed). And then my desk is in the corner of the office, so everyone else can see the screen, so I wouldn't come on anyway.

However, even if I were allowed on, and my screen wasn't in view, I wouldn't be able to post much, as I need to concentrate on the task in hand! I can see how other people can do mutlitasking, and it all depends on the nature of the job that you do - I need to concentrate as I need to be very accurate and detailed, and I work with four different documents at once.

One thing I find about MS, and posts like this, the accusatory and presumptious tone that people take about people who they only know online - sometimes, people use MS to vent/rant about things that only come out on here, and not in 'real' life. Things are blown out of all proportion because not 100% of the facts are there, and the post is skewed as the poster only writes about one side of the story, and all the issues are not always seen.
