Playing on the Job.
This is your chance to come clean. You're among friends! I've been wondering about those who have access to the internet at work and how often they take little breaks online.

I have an office and I deliberately turned my screen so only I can see it. That way I look like I'm working hard when I'm really finishing the edits on my ficathon story...

I sometimes look back on it and hope that I managed to clean up all the evidence from my computer before I left. :D Not that it would matter, really, but I'm still friends with my old boss, and I'd hate for her to know what I got up to!

My workload is triple his, but I've grown my efficient and need a break. At first, I was sacred to go online and I didn't have time. Now, I surf LJ, check e-mail in between jobs. I have a list of things to do and if I check off a few, then I reward myself :D
I'll read a one shot on break, but tend to read fanfic at home. I research when I'm at work, because it's easy to search for things and copy and paste stuff in a folder.

It's probably just as well - I post on LJ and I get quite a few comments that I can't respond to until I get home. I post on DW and I get only a couple of comments and it's not too much time to answer them.
I write fanfic while at work - lunchtimes, and sometimes when I'm doing documentation and am bored. Mostly, though, I'm programming - and if it's engaging developmental programming, I'm more than happy to solve problems. If I have a story to nut out, I sometimes scribble down notes on the story on paper, like I'm making notes for work things.
But yes, it is hard to get in the proper headspace at work for fanfic - although I imagine it's easier for me: I don't usually write het or slash while at work and the large body of my work is gen, possibly with a dash of UST in there, but nothing explicit.
In order to read fic (which I don't do much anymore, since few people write my pairings and I'm very picky about who I read in the Gen area), I go through my f-lists in the morning and save the LJ entries and stories that I want to read - in '?format=light' on my USB drive. Then I read them at lunch, or when my brain needs a break.

I have to be careful though since I'm in this weird analyst/IT support role and people are constantly knocking at my door which has a window. Saturdays I'm typically the only person on the top floor, so I'm practically alone which is very tempting when I'm between projects.

Sometimes (but that's more the exception than the rule) I read longer stories if I'm bored...
