http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2008/12/20080326-computer2.pngWe talked about this a while back, but the coolest thing I pulled out of the "working at Blizzard" (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/14/working-at-blizzard-sunshine-rainbows-claymores-backrubs/) article last weekend wasn't the on-site gyms, valet parking, subsidized cafeteria, or the amazing swag, it was than when your boss walks in the room at Blizzard, it's totally OK if you're playing a game. Of course, as a freelance writer, I've got a little freedom to play with any free time I have, but my free time comes in small amounts these days (I only made it to 78 this weekend) -- being able to play WoW at work (and have it count) would be great.
Of course, some of you play WoW anyway (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/02/20/do-you-play-wow-at-work/) (or just read our site -- don't worry, we won't tell your boss) even if you're supposed to be doing something else. And some jobs (security guards, IT tech support, a few call centers) lend themselves well to playing WoW during breaks, or just when the boss is not looking. What's your situation? Are you not near a computer to play WoW on at work, do you bring your own external drive in to play during lunch, or are you constantly alt-tabbing in case the boss stops by?http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Breakfast Topic: Playing at work (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/17/breakfast-topic-playing-at-work/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Wed, 17 Dec 2008 08:00:00 EST.
