After sitting in my lonely cubicle, staring at blank walls with no windows in sight, listening to various conversations throughout the office and drifting off, I started thinking about great of an idea it would be to write an article for the divine Associated Content website about the work habits across America. We are all slackers to a certain extent. We are Americans. The lazy gene was born in us, as if it were some invisible fabric of our DNA that keeps us from being productive at work. Gone are the days of getting our hands dirty, pulling crops, and earning your living. In fact, the phrase "earning your living" is vastly overrated these days, in regards to productivity. What we have "earned" is a cushy salaried position with full benefits, two breaks during the day, a lot of social time, and a few hours of work if we can fit it in our schedule. After all, we are busy people, right? The thing I'm most curious about is who exactly wastes the most time at work? With the help of an America Online Survey, I'll break down the different scenarios. What I found will blow your mind away. By the way, if you're reading this while you're at work then make sure your boss isn't coming.

I hate the lonely cubicle with no windows in sight. Sounds like an interesting survey.
