Anyone Slack Off As Much As Me? Options

[Coomer]

Does anyone spend most their time slacking off at work? I work four hours a day during the school year, and most days I spend 10-15 minutes doing actual work for the company I work for.

Some days I work a lot. Like today...it's deadline day for the project I've had assigned to me for the last month or so. I worked on it for about an hour yesterday, and close to two hours today, and it'll probably take me another hour to finish it and then show some people how to use it. So I've maybe put in 6 hours of work into it. The company thinks it takes me weeks to do this stuff though(and they think weeks are fast...they still are very happy with me.)

So I spend the majority of my day in my office browsing 6GC, Celica.net, 4GCelica.net, ToyMods, TwinCam.org, Club4AG, Honda-Tech.com, NWStreetRacing, eBay, Craig's List, etc. I keep a small 640x300 pixel browser window open for browsing these sites, and always have open actual work in the background that I switch to when someone comes into my office, so it always looks like I'm working.

I seriously actually work for about 10-15% of the time that I'm paid to be here for. Anyone else slack off this much?

yes, you would be suprised how much of this so called productive economy is run off of gross inefficiencies, people working hardly/hardly working. I work on and develop crappy applications, no vision, idiotic simplistic requiring a few hours of work for the whole week, I blame this on management. They are lazy so everyone is lazy. then the marketing folk, or the sales team does their road show and idiots buy this lame product for crap loads of money.

I wish I could work in a cool company like google, or some cutting edge game development studio.

I do admit I get busy at times, but then when im blocked from doing anything constructive i get depressed and waste time the whole day, surfing the web and buying books ill never read of amazon.
