Talk about just not getting it..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Saw this post over at the J-Walk blog. Apparently, someone has decided to do a study of how much we all read blogs at work:

Workers in the U.S will this year waste the equivalent of 551,000 years reading blogs, a study has suggested.

Yup, all those tips, ideas, solutions, and general tech information that you read here, and in many other blogs, is wasted time! Bet you didn’t know that.

You might want to make sure the next time your boss asks you where you heard about a technology, not to mention you read it on a blog. You might get labeled as one of those slacker blog-readers!

    Doc and the rest of the Cox Cable systems users seem to be having problems. The lesson here, never trust the pretty box, always go with a company that is willing to just give you the settings you need and not install software all over the place! That being said, Time Warner did the same…

    Saw this story over at Just Another Geek’s blog about knowing a few minutes ahead of time that someone’s going to get fired and having to slide into their office and disconnect them from the network while they’re being fired in another office. I’ve had to do that, and it sucks. I work in a…

    Yeah, for whatever reason going back to work today after the three day weekend was more of a drag than usual. Not that anything too major went wrong, it was just one of those days where everything seemed to be just a little “off”. No matter how had I tried, I just couldn’t muster the…
