Yes, occasionally, just as I occasionally make a personal phone call. In both cases, out of discretion and in deference to office policies, I try to confine them to brief exchanges, usually about such things as plans for the evening. Once or twice I have been at a site where more tolerance was exercised, and I've done more "correspondence" on the net.

Jane, 62
West Linn, OR   USA

Yes.

Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ  USA

I receive so little email that I hate to miss it, so I got a Yahoo! email address so I could read it at work.

Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD  USA

I rarely send personal email from my work email account. I send work related email from my work email account and personal email from my personal email account. Because my work place and hours and rather fluid, I send personal and work email from both my home office & computer and my work office & computer.

Laura, 37
Lowell, MA   USA

Men may work from sun to sun, but women's work is never done. Yes, I send and receive e mails in the course of my 24 hours days.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA   USA

Yes, but I don't use my work address. If I go to Yahoo or Hotmail, I feel a little better about sending it.  I don't like thinking someone else is reading my email.

Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV   USA

I am doing it right now.

Nicole2, 20
Jackson, FL   USA

If school counts as work, then ALL THE TIME!

Eric, 20
Beverly Hills, CA  USA

All the time! From my hotmail account not my work account,  Naturally.

Talia, 24
Wilton, CT   USA

Yes. Very sparingly though. I can usually only check during lunch.

Keri-Jade, 21
Brampton, Ontario  CANADA

I try to keep work and home activities separate. On occasion the boudaries between the two slip, but not often.

Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA   USA

Not applicable. I write at home.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS   USA

I don't work anymore (I'm a full-time student), but when I did, I sent and received personal email all the time. I didn't see it as being any different than receiving a phone call from my husband.

Sapphire, 31
Ft. Lauderdale, FL  USA

i don't have email, but i make mad personal calls on my company cell phone.  gotta keep in touch, y'know?

A-Dog, 19
McMinnville, OR  USA

That's what I'm doing right now.

Firelady, 24
Dallas, TX   USA

I used to when I had a desk job. I'd read/write email, surf the web, talk on AIM. I was not a very good worker bee.

Maggie, 22
Sandwich, IL   USA

You bet I do, all the time. I receive a bunch of personal e-mail during the day (some of it is actually real mail as opposed to lists or spam), and I send probably about five messages per day.

etoile, 21
Washington, DC  USA

No. Work has a strict internet policy. They don't want their system used for personal stuff. So I avoid using their email.

Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ  USA

It is frowned upon, but I still do it in a limited manner.

Doug2, 29
Overland Park, KS  USA

I have checked my email while at work. But where I work its ok.

Christina
MI  USA

Since I am at work, I probably should not answer that question, lest somebody at work have a cow.

Frodo
parts unknown, age unknown

yes, including the one to repsond to this question.

Ryan, 28
Riedlingen  GERMANY

I used to do personal email at work sometimes, but not while I was on the clock.

Karen, 22
Ames, IA   USA

I did at my former job but am still too new at this one to take a risk! I  don't really have problem with personal emailing at work as long as it's brief family contact and my work is caught up. Email seems quicker and less disruptive than a phone call during the workday.

Fisch, 46
Preston, CT   USA

Yes. Almost every day. I feel lucky that my husband is the manager where we work, so when there is nothing to do, he let's me play on his laptop to pass the time.
