How To Appear To One's Boss That One's Working, When One's Really Staying Abreast Of Breaking News.

There used to be a software you could buy called "The Boss," and it installed a two-key macro that popped up a spreadsheet to cover your video game or whatever when "the boss" appeared.

The problem is, I'm my own boss. All I know is that I'm not getting enough work done. Who to fire?

Same here, what a life, huh?

LOL! The easiest way is to follow rintense's above instructions AND keep a spreadsheet or whatever minimized for instant maximizing when offending co-workers/superiors appear. This requires a good ear if your back is to the rest of the cube creatures.

In this part of the country, many of us would LOVE to have work to DO. Recession is absolutely KILLING small service businesses connected to the metal fabrication markets.

You hit it right on the head for me too! This year has been bad for business, too much time on FR! But on the brighter side of things, I'm much more informed than most folks.

This one hits home since we live in the area and have small kids. My concern is not for my safety, hope it would be a head shot if I were hit, but I'd be sick if my kids were hit or if my wife were injured. Granted the chances are 1 in 1 Million or more but it's still not comforting, nutjob or not this is terrorism.
