6/10    For people working as programmers: what percentage of your time at
        work do you spend slacking off (web surfing etc?) and do you think
        some amount of slacking off is necessary in order to be productive
        the rest of the time?
        \_ Depends on the person, and the company.  If you burnout easily
           and need recharges through the day, but nail or beat deadlines,
           a good manager would be able to recognize this.  Keep in mind,
           though, that there are a lot of bad managers out there.  Also,
           as a manager, I would want to know that you can handle being
           "heads down" if you have to.
           \_ Do good managers ask employees to swallow?
              \_ Good employees will offer to swallow before a manager has
                 to ask.
                 \_ Good employees swallow without having to be asked.
                    \_ A good employee-manager relationship involves mutual
                       and simultaneous swallowing.
