Percentage of time you actually spend working

[DreamGirlie]

I am just curious...how long do you typically spend not working while at work? I started a new job a few months ago and I feel as though I have a lot of downtime but I always get my projects done. I just want to see the range

In my old job at least 1 hour per day during a 8 hour day..in the job I have now maybe 10 minutes throughout the whole day no matter how long it is. Not enough and I start missing downtimes from the previous job.

IT techs say they dont actually when when they actually do their jobs. i understand this is correct as my old office required the tech daily and my new office's tech literally plays team fortress 2 and WoW all day. we asked him why he doesnt work, he replied, "i do my job, that's why there are never problems.", after that, i never questioned him again.

My compulsiveness actually made me add up your percentages to see if they were less than or equal to 100.

^^ I hate paying monthly fees, and I don't want to pay for the game because I'm a cheapskate. Needs to have minimal requirements and be able to be played in a window...

Re: Percentage of time you actually spend working

I would estimate that I do actual work 10% of the time spent at work. Sometime's I even get bored with the intranets and go back to the old standard.... solitaire.
