1. What is one thing that worries you right now?

2. Does the weather by you think it is fall/winter/spring or summer?

3. How is your calendar for October? Slow, medium, busy?

Sometimes your lack of logic astounds me.

<<In our office, it is abundantly clear if a staff member is slacking, and because of the way the workload is divided up , it's clear who the slacker is if there is one.>.

This.

Bawhhhaaa...just figured you were at work if you said you were wasting time. I guess you are just busy right now since you are only NOT busy when you are sleeping. lol

Nope, not really. We have a temp that seems to get everyone's work because they are all so overwhelmed and swamped with work. BAER (me to them lol).

That was your definition, not mine.  I'm actually watching a music documentary right now ... it's fantastic.

See? Your job/work is obviously very different than mine and Bord's.  It my department/field, it's very obvious when someone isn't doing their job.

Yes, and I would go by you, who finds it perfectly ok to take 30 min breaks all the time to do personal things in the office but will stay late so it looks like you have a ton of work to do. Seen it over and over and over in my over 23 years of working full time.

Morty, you were the one who said things had changed, but not for the better. Another for for that phenomenon is. "Deterioration." So now people "take advantage," but all this "taking advantage" really had no effect on the office performance? It's only a problem in your mind? ( PS: If you are not going to give straight answers but rather try to engage in a game of twenty questions, I'm not playing).
