Filling out your Super Bowl pool sheet, checking eBay, bracket time during March Madness, going through personal email, visiting blogs and message boards that have nothing to do with your line of work.

How much time do you spend using online features that seem to be more interesting than what you're "supposed to be doing" while on the job?

Now, don't get me wrong... I'll take my Gavel Chat readers any way I  can get them, and I will say that I can't beleive how popular this blog has actually gotten, but I thought this was an interesting topic that I'm sure your bosses might not be too thrilled about.

Have you ever listed or bid on an eBay auction at work? How bout visit the various sports memorabilia message boards at work? Heck, you might be Gavel Chatting at work right now! If you are a die-hard, like most of us are, it's hard not to venture away from the daily grind once in a while, but be careful guys ... Gavel Chat is almost more important than work, but not quite.
