 Amfony,
 
 AM> What am I doing wrong?  I sit in front of a PC at least 50% of my

 AM> So in other words, you are being _seen_ to be working, despite the

 Don't get me wrong - I work my little tush off, and before I was having 
 a somewhat regular lunchbreak, I was really stressed out, had 
 headaches, got crook etc.
 
 Now I gave a complete 30min break, whether I go for a walk, read mail, 
 it doesn't matter. 
 
 The advantage of reading BBS Mail is that, like you said, you appear 
 to be working for the benefit of the company, rather than reading the 
 local rag, & even though it is ones lunchbreak, it could be 
 misconstrued that you are slacking off if you are reading the paper, 
 especially if ones break happens to fall outside of the normal 12-1 
 break (as it usually does !). Mine start anywhere between 12 & 2.00  
 (like today!).
 
 So either read the BBS Mail, or get out of the building altogether.

 AM> You could make a solid case that you are retreating from real life to
 AM> the madness of AVT to get your fix!  Junkie exposed!
