When you're at work, are you expected to actually work, or are you allowed to blog and social network online? Many companies have Internet access for their employees, but some of you are taking advantage of this and chatting online instead.

"But many of us aren't chatting to friends and watching videos on sites such as Facebook at home during our free time - we're doing it at work. This presents businesses with the challenge of dealing with the loss of productivity." ~Seize the skills and HR benefits of social networking by patrice Barbedette of Jobpartners

I do some chatting while I work, but since I work from home, it's not too big of a deal. I don't chat if I'm billing by the hour though. I'll wait until the assignment is finished first, then I blog.

What do you do?
