After Emmalee Bauer, 25, was fired by the Sheraton hotel company in late 2006, she sought unemployment compensation from the Iowa agency that offers benefits to employees terminated through no fault of their own. However, the judge noted that Bauer had written a 300-page journal, during office hours, chronicling her efforts to avoid work. Among her entries: “This typing thing seems to be doing the trick. It just looks like I am hard at work on something very important,” and, “Once lunch is over, I will come right back to writing to piddle away the rest of the afternoon,” and, “Accomplishment is overrated, anyway.” (Her claim was denied.)
