A:
65%, the rest of it is spent driving, at the post office, picking up and dropping off kids, errands, I get a short lunch break and when I'm on the road, before I leave, I check my email for appointment times from cancellations.
Also, unloading supplies to get them to the right storage area.

My last job was like sweat shop so I had no choice but to do what I was paid to do 100% of the time. Being a person with a business now I can see why they were like that; I wouldn't want to pay my employees for chatting on their cells or surfing the net, however, I do understand that taking some time throughout the day to chat with a co worker or make a personal phone call is not a bad thing....as long as it isn't taking up most of their day and the work they are being paid for is just piling up!

It depends on the day, i work in the office in the retail store so the biggest part of my job is completed in the morning preparing the deposit for armored pick up. Also there were days that I had to do more, but most of the time I would walk around the store talking with friends that worked in various departments.
