By Jason DeRusha, WCCO-TV

We all take breaks during the work day. Some take 15 minutes to smoke. Some walk around talking to friends. Others, surf the internet.

Come on, almost all of us surf the Internet. Unless our workplace blocks it.

Nearly half of Chief Information Officers interviewed as part of a local survey say they block online shopping sites at the office.A third allow access but monitor for excessive use.

Share your thoughts in the comments, we'll use them live tonight at 10 for Good Question!
