all they see is me coming in to work at 11, taking a lunch at 12 and then leaving at 5. does this mean i am a slacker? to those people, yes. but when they are at home jerking off to porn at 1am, this is when i do most of my work. at night, while others are sleeping.

I don't really think that it's the kind of job. I worked as a sales at the apple in Hong Kong. (The 323 is my mule there. And just in case you are wondering, I'm a college student and did not buy the S-class and M3 with what apple wages. They were gifts from my parents.) Anyways, when I worked there, I slacked off a lot. My day consists of watching Lost and prison break online and a few movies here and there. Yet, when customers shows up, I drop what I'm doing and entertain them first. I always racked the the most sales. I was also transferred to 4 different store (1 store a week). And the store which I was at always had the top sales figures for the week. The boss was very happy with my performance and wanted to give me a raise despite watching youtube/ facebook right in front of him. I unfortunately had to return to the states for school. I think this really shows that such micro-management isn't really needed.

Also people do browse the web on they have a break or something, so maybe I some people don't like to have video or pics that are considered offensive to others while at work
