my boss is out having a smoke and, as a non-smoker, I feel entitled to small intarweb breaks.
Yes! If smokers can have addiction breaks, the rest of us are entitled to them also.
You damn skippy about that, omba. (as Lore Fitzgerald Sjoberg once said, the best thing about "wombat" is that it has a "wom," a "bat," and an "omba.") The interweb is way addictive, and I enjoy taking snippets of my day to feed that addiction.
Ugh. I just had my second probationary performance evaluation. My first one, at six months, saw my probation extended until now. I got taken off probation, so I'm here to stay, but I was denied the merit increase.

Sadface.
Oh well, maybe I'll get it at my year anniversary.
(*edit* Oh noes, maybe my performance has been adversely affected by my intarwebnet addiction? Holy shit. I'd better close out Firefox and think about that one. Just as soon as I read one more thread. I promise.)
On a side note, I never made the Circus Peanuts connection until reading this thread. God dammit. My grandparents used to always have those things around. They are insanely terrible candy, but we always ate them anyway. Now I have absolutely no good memories of Circus Peanuts due to this unfortunate and creepy character.
