Grr... This sucks. Some guy in Cincinati discovered an inactive Domino's pizza web promotion and got himself a free pizza then let alot of people know about it and within the span of one day 11,000 pizza's were given out for free. It sucks because, I so want a pizza right now..


Anyways, Aeson, I think you should post this news story at your work:

Surfing on Company Time Boosts Productivity
Posted Apr 2, 09 12:20 PM CDT in Business, Arts & Living, Technology

(Newser) – If your boss catches you reading this article, don’t sweat it. A little recreational internet use on the job makes for more productive employees, according to a new Australian study. The study surveyed 300 people, 70% of whom engaged in a little WILB—“workplace Internet leisure browsing.” Those valiant slackers were actually 9% more productive than the 30% who heroically refrained from checking Facebook, Reuters reports.

“People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration,” said the study’s author. “Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself.” But he cautioned that the results only hold true for those who spend less than 20% of their time browsing. True Internet addicts tend to have lower productivity.

I'm going to a formal meal thing tonight, it's meant to have like 7 courses, okay it's semi formal and is round a friends house, and I was invited last night at the last minute because someone else dropped out but still. Time to break out the suit me thinks, I look good in a suit, mind you most people do.

Looks like the Hive is taking a long weekend this week.

Nothing interesting happening out there?

Anything to take my mind off the odd paranoia that I am feeling anyway?

Memo to self, get suit. Although I am a bit discworld troll-like in that no matter how well tailored my clothing is I seem to make it look shabby...

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Hehe. Awesome. Especially the: "But he cautioned that the results only hold true for those who spend less than 20% of their time browsing. True Internet addicts tend to have lower productivity" part.
