Two out of five work days a bust

So says a new survey from Microsoft. Workers who responded to an online Office survey reported two days out of the workweek were a waste of time, with U.S. workers blaming procrastination as the top cause.Time wasters blow off two days a week.
Hmmm. Could another reason be that they have so many viruses and spyware on their WIndows machines that they can’t get any work done?
Just kidding.
I believe it– when I would give tours of the manufacturing plant where I used to work, I was often asked, “How many people work here?”
My stock response was, “oh, about one out of four.”
Too many times I was not greeted with laughter, but groans of “I know what you mean.”
Offices used to be chatty chatty, now they’ve evolved into ‘e-mail’ chatty. And IM chatty.
