I've always been of the mindset that you get paid to do something, so do it. There are obviously many others who feel differently. I once worked at a contract in Roanoke, VA for a large transportation company and there was a guy there who would go get a hot cup of coffee, set it on his desk, lay his glasses next to it, set the computer to run a long process and then go out for breakfast. His idea was that anyone would think that he just stepped away from his desk for a few moments if the saw the steaming coffee and the rest of the stuff. He did this two or three times a week. Of course, everyone knew what he was doing. He has since retired. I'm not sure what that means in his world; perhaps he just never bothers to get up in the mornings anymore... :-)

>The fact is only 4 or 5 out of the 25 were doing any work anyway.
