Is anyone really busy at work anymore?

Technology has certainly changed my working day - it's made it even busier than it was. I'm constantly rushed off my feet at work (or at least, I would be if I were on my feet - but I drive a desk!) Ease of communications means that I now have clients that I wouldn't have had before, because work can be done more quickly with the advent of fast Internet. I also spend a lot more time communicating with clients, which I suppose is good because that's how I get the work in the first place.

My job requires lots of motivation and concentration, but every so often the concentration has to break and that's where PH comes in. A quick read on here between blocks of work helps to keep me focused on my work.

So yeah, to answer your question. I'm really busy although technology has in some ways facilitated the actual job I do.

im in tech sales, covering EMEA so lots of travel ...I can be doing something for "work" every minute im awake if I wanted to....theres always something to do, tasks are stacked up and its a case of daily prioritisation on where to go and what to do....

...theres another 14 people in my team doing the same ......

so yeah, we are "busy" at work

So true. Nothing like 10 minutes on PH to clear my head when I'm getting bogged down in paperwork.

Ridiculously busy

Admittedly it is desk driving, but moving people around the globe doesn't seem to have been affected much by the recession.

I am really busy at work - most of the time and it looks to get worse due to staff shortage.
