Want it fast? Check out some Web smut from the comfort of your cubicle. Or recommend some of your favorite skin sites to your coworkers (via e-mail, of course). Or if you're not into that kind of thing, spend lots of time elf bowling or shopping online. Do just one of those things and you could be on the bullet train to Bootsville. A new study from the U.K. shows that Internet and e-mail abuses will get you in hotter water than pilfering office supplies, lying to the boss or talking smack about the company. In fact, researchers found more workers got in trouble for Net naughtiness than for acts of dishonesty, violence or safety violations.
