Thirty-four percent said they parted their hair in the middle -- compared with 23 percent on the right and 30 percent on the left. For 14 percent, this question was moot, as they indicated they were bald.Forty-three percent said they dressed in a "business casual" manner and 39 percent said they ate their lunch at their desks every day.Thirty-eight percent indicated they had at some point in their careers dated a co-worker, CareerBuilder said. The beverage of choice at happy hour after work was beer -- 38 percent -- followed by water, which was named by 31 percent of respondents.Given the many distractions at work, from music to cellphones to attractive co-workers, the survey found that 38 percent of respondents felt they felt they put in a full 8-hour day at work. Twenty-one percent indicated they worked for seven hours out of their scheduled time and 18 percent indicated they really worked six hours out of the day. Eleven percent indicated 5 hours was spent productively, while 12 percent indicated actual work took up four hours of their working day.The survey was conduced by Harris Interactive. The results had a margin of error of plus and minus 1.55 percentage points.
