Well when you have to get the work done you don’t really have a choice, do you?
@Arston
Sure you do. Either get the work done or get fired.

Not if you want to keep eating.

To pay an employee an hourly wage while he/she is telecommuting is idiotic! Either pay by the job or pay a salary if there is any telecommuting going to be done. Of course, make sure parameters are set too, like deadlines, conduct, and business hours. That way, whatever your employee does with his/her time is his/her own business.
Distraction – mishmachtion.
To you (control freak) bosses: stop trying to control a chaotic world – you’ll live longer. Focus on the the results!

hahahaha; well computers are self-destructful; but hey we can’t leave without them.as long as you’re done with the daily routine task you can waste some time and get back.

Re what balloons are pointing at: computer and computer.
