I think everyone can claim at least one completely unproductive day...I think the better question is.

Whats the longest amount of consecutive unproductive days you've worked?

I've only done about 10 hours of real work in the last month. I wish there were stuff for me to do, but there's not. I feel like a slacker. :(

I've been wasting time and been generally unproductive for a little more than a year now. Fortunately, the boss doesn't care too much.

<--- the boss :beer::D:beer:

I've been to five day meetings where not one damn thing was accomplished other than the participants getting paid. Piss poor management.

at my current job, not much time.

at my old job, i had work to do, just didn't want to do it. so i often wasted a good 3+ hours but still came out with results.

prior to that, i wasted almost the entire workday.
