| A cat surfing the web? That's A-dorable! Plus a little freaky to be honest. |
Surfing the Internet. The focus of today's post is one very dear to me. In fact, if it wasn't for surfing the Internet, where would I be without video game FAQs, YouTube videos, and of course Blogs. The Internet has provided me with countless hours of insight, entertainment, and wisdom. From free online games to website about nothing (http://www.nothing.net/deult.html).
So why talk about something so obvious to everyone? It's because the Internet helps me (and probably you) make it through the day. Think about it for a minute. Who's there to pick you up from your afternoon boredom? The Internet. Who's there to make you laugh with a silly video of monkeys and poo? The Internet. Who's there to mend a broken heart? Duh! Your parents. But it's a good chance they read an article on the Internet.
If it wasn't for the Internet, I wouldn't have gotten the idea to start a blog at work to help me get through the day. Sharing my thoughts and hoping for feedback from my readers (we're up to 4 now!). But I feel we need to give thanks to this awesome piece of technology to save us from the mundane work week. I for one love the act of minimizing the screen as a co-worker walks by, just to maximize it and continue reading whatever it is I was reading. If not for the Internet, how would I know about all the great sales on Amazon? Without the Internet, there would be no Amazon!!!!
But enough praise (for now). As I type this post up, looking outside at the snow coming down, it made me thankful to have a place at work to go to get away from...uh...work. Let's be honest for a minute: We're not always busy with work and there are moments throughout our day where we have a moment to breathe, sit back, and just sigh some relief. During those moments, why not jump online, read something quick/watch something quick, and then get back to the day? I guarantee it would help make the day go faster and more enjoyable.
Who wants to sit staring at an inbox all day or an inventory screen? I sure don't, but I'm supposed to. Even if there is no work to be done (not often, but it does occur). Why is it not allowed to surf the web in your free time? Who says you have to be working every second of your shift? So what if I'm not busy the whole day? Does that make me or you a bad employee? No! If anything, it makes you a diligent and efficient worker. Yet, some co-workers and management frown on not having anything to do.
So let's weigh the options: Work slower to drag it out all day or do your work first and then spend a few moments online? I vote for the latter and I don't think I'm alone. But I can't assume so let's hear what the readers have to say. That's right! Time for you to post some comments and share your thoughts. You know you love the Internet as much as the next cubicle-enclosed worker. You know the Internet is the closest thing to your friend at your desk next to that red stapler.
In short : Thank you Internet for being legen-Jewish people cannot mix meat and-dary!
