We talked about that a while back, but the coolest thing I pulled out of the “working at Blizzard” exposition 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 whether you’re playing a game. Of course, as a freelance writer, I’ve got a little freedom to play with any free duration I have, but my free moment comes in small amounts these days (I only made it to 78 that weekend) — being able to play WoW at work (and have it count) would be great.

Of course, some of you play WoW anyway (or just read our site — don’t distress, we won’t tell your boss) even whether you’re supposed to be doing something else. And some jobs (security guards, IT tech support, a few signal 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?
