I'm a Cyberslacker -- and so are you!
Long has been the debate, or issue, rather, that people spend too much time at work surfing the Internet which Al Gore so wonderfully gave us.
A new study, however, says that "cyberslacking" isn't really as bad as it seems.
For instance, people may use the Web at work to help balance job and life responsibilities; with the personal matters taken care of from work, they can focus on the task at hand.(Source: CNN)
The study also finds that everyone, from management to entry-level employees, is surfing the Tubes. The study did not cover the subject matter of the said surfing.
Which is probably a good thing.
Not for me of course. I'm merely balancing my job and life responsibilities.
YOU, on the other hand...
As usual, Dave Letterman speaks the truth...

Wrong. Just wrong.
Sorry for the lack of posts. Busy, tired, yadda, yadda, yadda. Onward we go...
Sure, in the grand scheme of things, losing a softball game isn't high on the list, but still. We go out in this level of Hell we call "Raleigh in June," sweat our you-know-what's off only to get screwed by some yutz who can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground.
Not that I'm bitter.
The umpire blew the call in our 2nd game Friday night. Cost us the game, a higher seed in the playoffs, my sanity and the temper of the rest of our team.
I did get to yell "Sit down!" at some lady in the stands, which felt good. And watching the president of our company get up in the face of the umpire was rather amusing as well.
And the team we were playing is rather smarmy, in that Frank Burns from M*A*S*H kind of way. Despite their losing record, they seem to play us well. However, redemption happens on Wednesday in a rematch to open the first round of the tournament.
Let's hope we don't have the same crappy umpires.
