The average worker devotes 90 minutes a day to “personal” web use and sending emails - adding up to 43 lost working days every year.

Six minutes of each working day is even spent job hunting, according to the poll of 4,000 workers by the search engine Foundem.com.

Another six minutes is spent paying bills.

Major League Eating, which sanctions events and promotes professional eaters, is pushing Lee as a breakout star this year, her rookie season.
