At your workplace, are you able to listen to music or browse the web?

I work in the corporate world - neither is permitted during work hours. Facebook, youtube, listening to music - big no no.

The work hours are 9 - 5; we are there to work and serve the interests of our very important clients who move the world's economy. Hence any distraction from this activity results in poor time use and management and loss of money to the firm.

The World's economy is moving?

I can surf the web and can also sometimes listen to music...but I rarely have time to do either.

Yeah but, I have to be sneaky.

That's how I was at Wal-Mart, thank God for long hair.

At the dealership I was allowed to have headphones for the most part (when it wasn't busy I had internet to surf, but no youtube or music sites) and the warehouse I'm temporarily assigned to is very lax and allows me to listen to music (no computer to surf the web though).

it is annoying work gets in the way, isnt it

My job pretty much requires me to have open access to the web for graphics and video production. I'm not sure if the entire company gets as much freedom as our department though. I try to limit my porn viewing during the morning hours.

As for music, up until this past summer, I was in a room pretty much by myself most of the time, so music was cranked on my boombox. We did some reconfiguring of the department and now I share a space with 2 other dudes. They're pretty cool with their music tastes, no rap or top 40 stuff, but I mostly listen to music with big, comfy headphones on, just out of courtesy. All 3 of us do actually. Sometimes it's a little too quiet in here.

Because I´m student of journalism and free lance journalist.. I HAVE TO listen to music and browse the web during my time in university or my home "office". It is my job to be attached all the time.

Nice isn´t it?

Technically yes, I am logged on a computer at all times so I can browse the net and listen to music if I want. BUT, I actually have to get some work done during work hours. Unfortunately.

I can relate - lol!!!! I actually am a full time teleworker, so I run my laptop next to my work laptop - I use it for music and to surf the web during those long, boring conf calls that I just have to listen to. Of course the ones I lead I can't since - I am just not that good at multitaking

HARD ASS!!

My office recently implemented a firewall that blocks all sports-related sites, anything related to video gaming, streaming video and music sites like Hulu or Pandora, and most file sharing sites (Facebook, strangely enough, is still available). The reason given is that our customers need to access out website regularly and doing stuff like listening to radio online reduces bandwidth.

Fortunately, Youtube is still okay, so I often listen to music that way (helps me focus on my writing when it's really busy and/or when people around are having loud conversations). I guess they had to leave it because, as a news organization, Youtube can be valuable for accessing footage online.

Same here. I guess if I had an Iphone or similar phone, I could surf the web out on the route.
