At InArkansas.com, we endorse hard work. Clock in, do your job... with a smile on your face, thank you ... then clock out (but only if your request for overtime is turned down).

The chain gang. That's the old-school way. Wield that hammer, file those papers, move those widgets. And if your company is gracious enough to afford you health insurance and paid holidays, not to mention a roof over your head, what more could you ask?

Well, apparently, there are folks out there who go to great lengths to make themselves look busy at work. We kid you not. Not content to show their gratitude for two bits a week, they aspire to actually unwind, goof off, or worse yet, talk American-freakin-Idol...on company time.

These people disgust us. Here at InArkansas.com, we toil from sun up to sundown to provide you, gentle surfer, with everything there is to know that pertains to living, working, playing and eating in Arkansas.

It is our sole purpose.

We accept our paychecks every other week with an almost bittersweet sense of guilt. But accept we do, only if to provide ourselves the means with which to purchase fuel for our vehicles that enable us to get to work each day.

It seems, however, that being a company man is — sadly — just not good enough anymore. It's all about me. The three most important people in a worker's life are no longer one's immediate supervisor, manager and big boss, but me, myself and I. 

Still don't believe us? Take a look at the methods some hooligans will employ to make themselves look busy at work.

Like we'd ever even consider such things ...
