How much of your work-day is actually spent working?

And 10% is spent doing what?

Lately, I'd say about 30% of my day is working. The rest is posting here and acting busy. What can I say, that's your tax dollars at work. (I work for the govt. and no, I'm not a senator or the president!) That is likely to change in the very near future. The lab I manage is closing due to the end of our project, so I'm going to have to start doing regular program technician work. Either that, or I'll be on the road training other people to use the new digitizing program coming out this summer.

I'm currently pursuing my master's degree from an online program. So, in my downtime (when I'm diligent!) I spend working on assignments and reading the chapters. I'm taking "cost management" right now, and I hate it.

The amount of time I actually spend *working* is something I don't really keep track of... I work on an internet database and so, I'm constantly flipping from the database and back to EN World or any number of sites that I frequent.

It's very easy for me to to check something on the database and maintain a conversation on IM... or read a story hour... it's a nice setup.

However, my database logs me out after 20 minutes of inactivity, so I generall do at least *something* every 20 minutes. As a general rule, I work for 25 minutes and surf the net for 5 minutes. But - those numbers are pretty fluid.

Senator or President Kanegrundar?

I'd say 80% of my work day is spent working.

2 hours work

0.5 hrs coffee break

2.5 hrs work

0.5 hrs lunch break

3 hrs work

But MAN do I WORK! *ow my aching body*

I'd be the same kind of President that Lewis Black said he'd be during his Luther Burbank show. "This morning President Kane is in the Rose Garden...sipping margaritas!" Though I'd have to add a full afternoon nap (thanks to the drinks) and then flying out to the Camp to fish and drink beer. In fact, I'd have to say that's where I'd do my best diplomatic work!

I would feel ashamed to accept a pay check for that amount of work. No offense intended, I just couldn't do it and feel good about my day.

Why? I am paid to be at work from 8:00-16:30 to man a phone. We have a commitment in our contract to have a service level of 90%. Basically 90% of our calls must be answered within 20 seconds. We have minimal staffing usually 3 people on at all times. This way there is always 2 people to answer calls just in case. There are times when things break and it is none stop calls. I am here in case something like this happens. Most of the time it is slow but the bodies need to be staffed for the times when it is busy.

I'd say between 95% and 100%. I work part-time so I don't get lunch or official breaks. I work in technical support so the job isn't killer, but I'm usually busy on the phone at least 50% of my day. The other 50% is records that I maintain for our department.

My monthly Saturdays are much easier, since I'm there by myself. Call volume is lower, so I can relax and surf the Internet in peace, probably 40% work, 60% goofing.
