It has become a very indispensable part of my, and I will assume most other regulars at DU, lives. One aspect I consider rewarding is as a diversion. When I'm working on something and about to go crazy I can just surf around and see what is happening outside the walls of my office. Yes, yes, getting away from the desk and running around the block a few times would definitely be healthier, but then I would end up getting even less work done.
