Talk about just not getting it..

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!

    You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have…

    Maybe “toughing it out until 5” wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. In my weakened mental state I think I just agreed to do some on-the-side consulting work for an organization that I’m not all that fond of dealing with as part of my regular job! Oh well, it’s one machine, a couple of…

    So where I work, we allow attorneys to work from home on a pretty regular basis, we’ll even go ahead and set-up their machines for them to use a VPN connection to our network, and Remote Desktop to work directly from their office machine. We also require that they have a firewall installed if they…
