10 Sites to Keep Your From Doing Your Work

If you're like me, you like to start off the day surfing on favorite websites. Here are ten of my favorite sites to check out throughout the work day (but shh, don't tell my boss!).

  1. Facebook - with so many new applications, it's hard to even surf through it in one session (I personally like the Scrabulous app). And remember getting outraged when stalkerish "updates" on each other were available? Well pretty soon, marketers will be able to get their dirty little ads out to you.
  2. Pink is the New Blog - a daily update on the latest pop culture bits floating around the world. Not vulgar, easy on the eyes, and tastefully done.
  3. CuteOverload - what other way to start the day than with pictures of cute animals?
  4. Life in the Office - the lastest news on "The Office." The forum is pretty active and friendly, too.
  5. Overheard in New York - New York City is pretty damn crazy. What if all that crazy was bottled up in the form of a quote-site? Learn the crazy street slang the kids are using these days. And learn how pervy, crazy, and indirectly funny people are.
  6. Wikipedia - what better way to kill time, especially if you could be learning at the same time, too? Look up various things to impress your friends later, or just read up on anything from movies you were wondering about to fun facts about Sweden.
  7. Television Without Pity - get episode recaps and news about your favorite television shows.
  8. CNN - hey, I don't have the time to turn on Headline News, so rather than waiting for the whole cycle of news to start from the beginning, I rather read it all on my own pace.
  9. Gmail - if you have a group of crazy friends who love to email each other back-and-forth, it makes checking your email during a slight break from work worth it. Plus, you can chat with friends who are also on, comparing woes of the day.
  10. Life in Boxes - hey, I work in marketing :D
