"Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."
BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. workers say they squander over two hours a day at the workplace, with surfing the Web, socializing with co-workers and simply "spacing out" among the top time-wasting activities, according to a survey released on Monday.
And folks, this post defines "mailing it in". It's a Monday, I'm tired, and I don't feel like weighing in on the Kenny Rogers "controversy".
* How annoying would it be to have him at your table?
Former NFL TE Shannon Sharpe will participate in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas beginning today. UPDATE: Apparently other well-known donkeys at the WSOP include actors Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Tilly and golfer Rocco Mediate.
* This made me feel a little bit better on a crappy Monday:
Could you make ends meet on $11,700 a year, before taxes? How about $16,500? For 86 players in Major League Soccer, that will have to do, because 26 percent of the league's 331 players make less than $20,000 a year in base salary, according to salary documents obtained by The New York Times.
* America's greatest president? A casual shoe for yachting? They killed Jesus Christ?
The Young Republicans have given cocky "Apprentice" punk Kelly Perdew the boot. The brash Perdew, now working for Donald Trump after winning the second season of "The Apprentice," was slated to emcee Saturday's black-tie dinner at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, which closed the Young Republican National Convention. But convention chairman Nathan Taylor got fed up with Perdew's irksome antics and unceremoniously disinvited the former Marine at the last moment.

"Uh, Oh. Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays!"
Good luck with your layoffs, all right? I hope your firings go really, really well.
What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Gotta love Vince McMahon...
World Wrestling Entertainment and UPN have heard from several concerned viewers following last Thursday's "WWE Smackdown," which depicted a terrorist-like attack involving a group of Arab-Americans and a wrestling opponent.
The episode aired the same day as the subway and bus bombings in London; UPN ran a crawl on its screen four times through the broadcast, noting that, "In light of today's tragic events in London, parental discretion is advised in viewing this episode."
That wasn't enough of a warning for some viewers, who took offense at the depiction of Arab-American wrestlers Daivari and Muhammad Hassan -- who was shown in the episode praying while five men wearing ski masks rushed the ring and choked the "good guy," longtime WWE wrestler the Undertaker.
Mayhugh and I saw the recap of that on Sunday morning. It was hilarious. Michael Cole and Taz were apalled.
You could have (read: should have) slept there.
Hopefully you weren't talking on the phone WHILE chugging the beers...
Drivers are four times more likely to have a crash if they are talking on their mobile phones, researchers have found.
TJ, Chandy offered you a million dollars and you were hung up on wrestling. Nice.
