I don't know. My job is all encompassing. I have to BE there, fully to do my job. I don't sit at my job at a desk, I am UP working, taking care of people, solving problems, charting, I've never had a job where I would have been able to be online.
My job is very dynamic and I can't imagine a minute where I would have the time to get online and just surf. Do a lot of people have a lot of down time where they have nothing to do? I can't even imagine such a job, I've never had a job where I wasn't needed every minute of when I was there. (not to mention all the paper work, research, continuing education and scheduling and charting I do at home that I am not getting paid to do.
It puzzles me that some people have not enough to do at work, that they could mess around. Health and Human Services is very busy and I can't wrap my head around how people can play on the internet while at work. Unless you work at a sex toy company.
What kind of job has the kind of down time that would allow this?
less
1. Can I hire you?
2. Actually, I DO surf at work, but it is during MY personal "down time" and since I work a solid 12 or more hours a day, five and sometimes six days a week, I don't have to justify to anyone what I do with fifteen or thirty minutes of my own break time. Some folks sit around and drink coffee, others tend their stocks, others shop online, still others blab and gossip. I choose to sit in my office and check EF and Facebook. That does not mean that the REST of the time I am not getting hammered doing my job. It is just that SOME jobs allow a BIT of downtime.
3. What jobs allow the real "free time to surf"? A friend owns a MUSIC STORE. Tons of musical instruments, but ZERO customers from 8 AM till about 3 PM, when all the music lesson kids start POURING in. Thus, he has an OPEN high speed internet for his staff. Once the instruments are dusted and stock put up, he would rather keep them happy and doing SOMETHING, then sitting there bored to tears and quitting. He could care less what they are doing online, so long as when customers come in, they are cared for.
