Do you surf the web @ work?

Well, i'm on my second week of a new job (that I thoroughly enjoy, don't get me wrong) and i've come upon the almost inevitable situation that a lot of us office-dwellers encounter : To surf, or not to surf.

I work my tail off whenever there are tickets that need taking care of, but aside from those times (which are sometimes few and far between), there's really nothing else for me to do, aside from clicking back and forth b/w 2/3 windows and driving myself nuts waiting for something to come in. I spend most of my iNet time here, or on a select few other sites, just to try and stay a bit modest in my downtime, however, I still feel kinda bad about it, even though my manager and everybody I work with are relatively laid back and do a bit of surfing themselves.

Anyways, enough with my troubles, do you surf @ the office, or just @ work, for those of you lucky people not stuck in cubes?
 
who doesn't? besides those companies who completely lock down their comps and wonder why they have such high turnover
 
I work when theres something to do, cruise the web when there isn't. Boss man doesn't worry about my internet habits because I take care of all probelms before he knows about them.

That sounds like a lot of fun 😀

I'd love to be an admin for a smaller company with really current servers/software/OS's and do something like that. Configure/fix/install what I can, and then post here and Google for the stuff I can't figure out 🙂

her209, we use Clarify, which runs off an Oracle database of some sort. We're moving to a web-based solution by Mercury though; it runs more quickly, but i'm not sure I like how everything is laid out inside of it.

Been almost exclusively doing server and network support here though, nothing at all like the desktop/helpdesk stuff that i've been doing before this for four years. Sitting in server rooms replacing stuff and toying around is one thing; responding to the same alerts day in and day out with the only variety being what you type into the individual tickets and what you have for dinner (1-11PM, four days a week) is quite a culture shock. Hence, the surplus web surfing when i'm not busy, which is, like, %75 of the time :frown:

Nah, I like it. I'm always busy and always challenged. I got a promotion today, too. 😀 I'll be running the whole of production by July.
 
When I did IT, yeah, I would ATOT it up all the time.

I got a grading job that pays 50x better (literally) at only 1 hour or so per week, so ATOT time is coming straight out of free time now
