Well, we have internet access at work, but we're not supposed to be accessing it. We do use Google to look things up, and check Google News. However, FB, personal emails, forums, and other social media are not permitted.

I think at my job they might frown on shopping. And I might not spend hours on BetterMost. But we're supposed to be communicating with the public, so social media and emails are all fine.

That is the weirdest thing about my job. I cannot access my personal e-mail, which is blocked, but I could spend all day on eBay--or Bettermost for that matter--and I've done lots of shopping during my workday, not just on eBay but on merchant websites, like LL Bean, Walmart, Target, Amazon, and any number of other sites. I've done this for years on years, though if my current supervisor found out, who knows what might happen. I may soon not have the time anyway.

To clarify, nobody would care if I spent 10 minutes ordering something from Amazon. But if I spent long stretches shopping they'd at least notice I'm not being very productive with work stuff.
Of course, they probably have ways to watch your every move online and certainly read all of your work email. But I figure no newspaper these days is going to pay someone to monitor that kind of thing when they don't even have enough reporters.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Happy Labor Day to all who celebrate it.
;D
I had a nice sleep-in today, then had breakfast, did some stuff online, and about to have lunch.
I'm in the mood to go through dresser drawers and closets, looking for stuff to get rid or, or just in general reorganize, so I'm going to start doing that at 2:00.

I haven't checked at work to see what sites we can and can't access. I do know we can access Amazon, but I've never tried ebay at work. The last thing I want to do is give the impression that I'm shopping online while at my workstation.
I do know that I've seen a few people around the office looking at Zillow during the day.
