here's me, cyberslacking...

hmm... how interesting! and ironic...

first, why is this story based out of jerusalem?? the reporter person in jerusalem had nothing else to report on? and an israeli-american poll? australian professors of psychology? i get that this is an "international phenomenon" but really?

second, why are these figures so low? people are much more unproductive than this story makes them out to be... if people actually worked for 8 hours a day five days a week, they'd run through a year's worth of work by the end of the first quarter! if you have more work than you know what to do with and you can't take a little breather for yourself, you're in what we professionals like to call a "widow-maker" profession.

i enjoy that they've also provided you with hints on how to cyberslack... thanks thestar.com, you've officially runined today's already limited productivity!
