schlick writes "The Associated Press is carrying a story about a NYC employee fired after Mayor Michael Bloomberg noticed a game of solitare on the employee's desktop at work." From the article: "Greenwood, who earned $27,000 a year and had worked in the office for six years, said in a telephone interview that he limited his play time to his one-hour lunch or during quick breaks when he needed a moment of distraction. 'It wasn't like I spent hours and hours a day playing, because I had plenty to do,' Greenwood said. 'If I had been working at something exhaustively for two hours, I might get a cup of coffee and play for a minute but then go right back to my work.'"

One day he will thank them for firing him...I know if I saw the people that fired me long ago, I'd hug them.

Good ... too many people go on their comp doing fuckall on their work hours... I know cauz when we put down the 1 on 1 chat on our site, we had MAD complaints cauz people can't access msn / other ims at work... lol

They'd be naive to expect someone work their ass off at a computer job for $27k a year, his boss should be fired instead. On the second thought though, it may have been the last straw if the guy was computer challenged or completely unproductive or something.
