John,

Define "work."

        Time signed on

        Time actually keying something

        Time reading something in a manual

        Time spent staring at the wall planning what to do

        Time spent writing code on a white board, with changes,
corrections, and pseudo code

        Time reading the screen trying to figure out what the previous
programmers did

        Time spent waiting for a compile to complete

        Time spent keying test data

        Time spent waiting for test run to complete

        Time....

Well, you get the picture.  It's very difficult to analyze exactly what a
programmer does and what counts as 'productive' time.
