Quick opinion pol...

Okay, so...I only work tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays these days, right? I come in to work of a tuesday morning, and my inbox is full of all the corporate emails that have been sent between 3pm thursday and 9.30am tuesday. I need to check through them, just in case there are important procedural announcements in amongst all the fax failure notifications, heckling between my fellow team members, and the updates on that annoying breakdown-selling competition that I can't participate in.

So....my question is, on that particular day of the week, do you think it's fair of me to claim the time it takes me to review my inbox as time out of my work day? I get in with just enough time to fire up the computer and load up all the necessary software, before I have to knuckle down and try to meet my daily productivity score.

My supervisor doesn't seem to think it is.

There are times I wonder if a small fraction of my poor productivity scores to date have been down to her not allowing my 'time-out', for things like the more difficult complaints....
