Are you interested in opinions from us academia types?  (Didn't think
so.  Oh well, I'll go on anyway: I'm as egotistical as the next poster.)

Is there really someone watching to see whether you're reading news?
And what does "working hours" mean?  Personally, I can't get anything
done until six or seven in the evening.

About the only restriction we have on reading news here is that it's
not a good idea to be found reading alt.drugs during a site visit by
funding agencies. :-)
