If you're reading this article, chances are you might be slacking off at work.
You're not alone. In fact, so many people take breaks to surf the Net at the office that some Web masters have created sites specifically for workplace loafers such as www.IShouldBeWorking.com or www.BoredAtWork.com.
"Employees do a lot of Web surfing instead of doing their jobs at work," said Frank Scanlan, spokesman for the Society for Human Resource Management.
And there's plenty for them to do at these slacker sites. IShouldBeWorking.com features games, jokes, links to articles, e-cards and a slew of other ways to put off the day's tasks. There's even a panic button for a quick exit to a more business-like Web page.
The offerings on BoredAtWork.com aren't as extensive, but include a list of links that might interest those looking for an office distraction.

Lisacat has had a sad Ubersite existence, will probly meet a sad end to the Ubersite experience. At least there is symmetry.
This is good, yet bad.

With media attention, won't that mean that employers will now know to block the site? This news has potential to suck.

Couldn't read the article as my glasses fell off and without them I am a bit myopic.

It's great that site is getting kudos.
And just think how many future new uberers there will be.

Want me to contact her? I'm not Bart, but I could pose as your equally awesome secretary. Believe me, I'm always bored.

Holy crap! That's awesome.
The woman who wrote that sent me an email the other day requesting that I contact her, but ironically enough, I was too busy at work.
