Exactly. Good managers care about results, not the sanity breaks.
I figure if the metrosexual down the row doesn't get yelled at for reading DailyKos at a 90% conservative place, I'm ok reading FR now and then.
Yah. Pretty much everybody does a little personal email, and browsing of various things. Lord knows all the top brass have streamers running of all the stocks in their portfolios.
I probably spend the bulk of my day reading news sites, both regular news and technology news. The difference between work and play in that environment is kinda fuzzy. Heck, I probably get about half of the breaking tech stuff off of FR. Otherwise its Computerworld and The Register and whatnot. I used to browse slashdot alot, but it's tiring anymore. Too many lefties.
