Tell your boss studies show…
Browsing enjoyable websites for a few minutes prompts a 39% surge in alertness. Taking a Web-break from work is 16% more refreshing then walking around the office, making a phone call, or texting a friend.
However the same study found that if you spend that same internet time reading and answering emails it causes fatigue.
So the next time the boss stops by tell them you are just rejuvenating your senses and are increasing your productivity!

Hahah that is awesome! I have to use the internet a lot at work, and often my boss has me running to his office because he wants me to see something funny!
Vanessa says
My bosses suck as they check even the history and cache to see if you’re using the internet. I can’t even get causght cause I can’t do it.
