And it's about City Hall the -- herald went to the FaceBook pages of some of these hacks who work at City Hall. Specifically for some of the us that there's some of the staffers of the of this Boston City Council. And they just when they checked it out in all these guys are doing all day long is these guys and gals both. All the doing all day long is just a screw around on FaceBook. I mean you know I can't say that I'm really shocked I -- it was a very humorous story. But I cannot say that that that it really surprised me and I use as someone -- used to work at City Hall long time ago I was a reporter but you know on the air every day just like. Just like hacks. I have to say that. They're always gonna for. Hacks are always gonna find a way to screw off and and not just tax either by the way. I meet people are going to just not do the work they're gonna figure out ways. Two was it to screw around. The poster girl for the on the clock cyber slacking is. Who -- earns 39000 a year of Boston City Council president Michael Ross has communications director so she's communicating on FaceBook."

" The former Boston magazine blogger regularly updates her personal status on FaceBook and Twitter throughout the day brazenly joking to more online pals about -- at a hearing. Ranks marquee comments about the reality TV show Jon and Kate plus say. Opining on an article about Boston being one of the best cities to meet guys and babble babbling about our Halloween -- Emea dirge -- is going to sit in the council meeting and now she wrote on FaceBook 11:49. AM last Wednesday. I believe the City Council meets every Wednesday -- at noon. The next day she spent the morning complaining about her -- each City Hall cubicle on Twitter. Somebody bring -- hot coffee and fluffy sweater plea she wrote at 930 to weigh him. She was apparently eager to punch out that they riding a 4:40 PM 20 minutes and I am -- UT out gone no longer present do not contact me what you want to drink shopper watched sporting events. Other FaceBook junkies include Mac Daniel -- 983000. Dollar year communications director of the mass convention center authority.

" This can -- more from the goal. You know did did they expect -- was gonna be a war alcoholic. He's he's a bow tied bum kisser running a little bit ahead of the layoffs. Other work they musings included a YouTube video of comedian Lewis LCK and rants about what the World Series and GOP rep Joe Wilson who famously shouted you lied the President Obama during a speech. City councilor John -- 71000. Dollar year administrative assistant Dave is -- plays a web based game called mafia wars almost daily on FaceBook during regular work hours. Ross said one of the reasons he hired the juror what did. -- was to broaden his social networking and develop a personality for his office. I'd like what Amy's doing said Ross adding that he encourages -- urge you to use FaceBook and Twitter to spread his message to constituents. It's not so much that she's -- away her time would be flattering. Way -- time she doesn't have time to waste. Tobin defended this -- FaceBook usage this guy plays mafia wars all day. Saying his staff doesn't work a typical nine to five acknowledged probably more like a typical. I don't know eleven to new -- and -- three -- four day you're just I mean just talking about it. The thing -- most upset about his oldest prime play mafia wars and he hasn't come close to the top ten in scoring Tobin cracked.

I don't have to account for I'm not working for told -- I'm working for for myself here I'm a self employed contractor what it boils down to. But anyway that the fact is though people screw around people -- whatever happens. What whatever wherever people are bureaucracy. Even in the dreaded private sector people are gonna screw around. And this is funny this is funny stuff but it's no different than anything else I mean there's an old joke you know. Why do state workers. Not look help them look out their windows. In the more in the morning. Why has an enemy outside the minute now because they wanna have something to do in the after known. I'd say she's -- so she's talking on FaceBook about Jon and Kate and whatever that does that that's stupid show as.
