Twins = twice the fun and little time for yourself (but I still find time to blog in the wee hours of the night). Atticus is still doing the feed for 25 minutes and sleep for 25 minutes thing. It appears as if that is about 12.5 minutes sleep for each of his chins. Adrienne slept for over 6 hours last night but saves up her poop for one big one every other day (Yay!)
Now that I have my baby blogging out of the way....
I was listening to a couple of retarded disc jockeys on a local station here and they were having people call in to talk about how few hours they actually work at work. It seems that there is a widespread virus of people who spend a good part of their day goofing off at work instead of being productive.
As a person responsible for a large number of people this doesn't completely surprise me but does distress me. I believe that for the most part my employees are hard working and don't goof as much as the perceived average discussed on that radio show. However, I do frequently catch several of my employees surfing the net when they should be assholes and elbows deep in a project or their regular work.
I have had to come down on a few employees because of this. I even caught one person surfing porn. I should have fired him on the spot but I really needed him at the time and he proved to be an excellent employee otherwise so I let him off with a warning. The rest of the offenders are well over sixty years old and female so I really don't think I need to worry about them surfing porn but maybe I should watch out for compulsive obituary reading.
The bottom line is that this behavior is actually stealing from the company. I pay a decent living wage and I expect them to give me their full attention when they are supposed to be at work.
So how many "productive" hours do you put in during a full workday?

I wish I could answer your question better. I am a stay-at-home mom so don't have any boss I have to looking over my shoulder - but since I've developed my addiction I probably spend more time reading blogs than paying attention to my children and housework.
However, when I did work outside the home I was a major hardass when it came to working - I didn't fool around on the computer until my stuff was done - maybe 5 hours a week of computer time (and that was usually my lunchtime!!!)
