When Post blogger Keith Hemstreet gets bored at work, he doesn’t just stare blankly into space, he grabs a hold of his mouse and takes a mind-altering trip through the World Wide Web. “The internet, God bless it, sure does make work a whole lot more enjoyable,” writes Hemstreet. “Who amongst us hasn’t spent time randomly browsing the web while at work? Everyone does it. It really is a blessing to be able to spend time pursuing a topic of interest, purchasing a book, or planning a vacation on your computer, all while pretending to be working on something job related like a spreadsheet, a memo, or some such ridiculous thing. Prior to the advent of the computer, I can’t fathom how employees wasted time efficiently. They really had it tough.”
