friends online? well, 8 an your side -- on your side has some answers for you. we have jonathan sellers here today. the tv business we use it every day and almost every minute. for other industries, what are you finding? are people using lot of social media? >> well, yeah definitely. and i think we kind of guessed that but what in study showed is maybe a little -- some people a little more than we expected. in the uk, people per hour which is a freelancing website surveyed or they found that 35% of men and up -- 5% of men and up to 11% of women are on social media 45 minutes of every hour at work. that's six hours a day. at -- on social media. >> that's pretty bad. >> that's pretty bad. >> that's a lot of productivity wasted. >> you would think so. >> it's friends interacting and just doing things that aren't related to work. >> and that it leads into online shopping and things like that and also involve but maybe

maybe they don't have that much -- productivity or maybe they don't have much to do. so there's a little bit of i think both. there's a little bit of probably a lot of wasted time and then there's a little bit of also maybe these employees or the employers, their managers, can get them more work to do. >> what is the answer? what are they bringing out into the fold? should the companies champ down on them for using it and limit their time or do they just need to find more things to do? >> you know like i say i think it's combination of th standpoint, if you know you're on social media half the day. maybe you go to the boss and say hey can i do more? maybe that will also in turn lead to a raise for you. we can get more done at work and you know you get a little bit more money. >> so many industries now depend on social media or are trying to market to social media to get the products is services moving. >> that's why i don't think it's a need we to clamp down thing. figure out how to work together

>> thanks so much for being with us jonathan. we appreciate it. all right now let's check the forecast, julie phillips is probably tweeting right now. >> no not tweeting. although i did that earlier today. all right we have to be on social media all the time right? for weather, facebook, twitter make sure you're following all of us and we always have the forecast out there for you and you can see right now the storms that we're tracking this hillsborough county. visible from the camera at veterans ford in tampa. 87 degrees at the location, no rain right here but you can see off in the distance. so at 9:00 p.m. they'll be mostly dry and we'll see clearing skies and temperatures in the low 80s. when you wake up tomorrow morning, lots of sunshine to begin with today. and temperatures will be in the mid 70s. we'll top out near 91 tomorrow. so it may be fall but it's not feeling like it here just yet. and you know that's pretty typical here for us in florida. at this point, the rain is very spotty. we are tracking some showers and -- storms in highlands

tampa. you can see just north of harbor island and davis island. lot of heavy rain and a lot of lightning clustered in within this one small storm just sitting over the temple terrace area up all the way closer towards pebble creek and sulfur springs there along 275 north. so as we head throughout the rest of this evening the rain will be spotty and most of it will be east of i-75. so if you have evening plans for the most part it's looking dry. tomorrow morning, lots sunshine to start the day and average teat drier air in place not going to see a lot in the way of rain again. they'll be warm though right back up into the low 90s. heading into saturday, great start to the weekend. dry start on saturday. and then we'll keep it mostly dry into the afternoon hours. high pressure is building in. which drier air aloft. that means not a lot in the way of rainfall. out in the tropics we are tracking what is still tropical depression karl expected to become a hurricane into this weekend but not going to be

tropical storm lisa also right now expected to weaken and that's also not going to be affecting florida or the u.s. so for us fairly dry the next few days and our rain chances increase heading into next week. and our temperatures stay hot. near 90. all right julie thank you. coming up, creating jobs for veterans. see how one company is filling much-needed emergency positions with some very qualified military candidates. we'll be live at 4:30. >> also -- >> the coveted news channel 8 team of the week trophy is looking for a new ac home. i'll have the highlights from some of the best in the bay area coming up. >> then first at 4:00 sports the bolts are back without some familiar faces. find out why that might be a good thing for in year's -- this year's team. >> get developments on the day's biggest stories on gay's most -- tampa bay's most convenient prime time newscast. it's every night on great 38 at 8:00. stay close, we'll be right

i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. i know more about isis then the generals do. john mccain, a war hero. he's not a war hero, he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured ok. donald trump compared his sacrifices to the how would you answer that father? what sacrifice have you made for your country? i think i've made a lot of sacrifices, built great structures. i've had tremendous success, i think...

tampa bay is amazing. i work here, i raise my kids here, i even take care of my mom here. but you know what? i could use a hand. hey! we hear you! it's why a-a-r-p is supporting family caregivers like you with free tools and resources. and we're making our community an even better place to live, work and play for people of all ages. if you don't think "this is right for me" when you think a-a-r-p, then you don't know "aarp."

after week four in high school football, we already have some upsets and a couple of blowouts, now the team of the week trophy needs a new home. here's anthony all red with highlights from this week's big three teams. >> tampa bay, what it do? we're four weeks into the friday night blitz season and our highlights are still going strong. this week, we take a look at three games that span ju so sit back relax and think about who would you choose? because i'm going to make these highlights two what they do. breaking through the paper banner the land o' lakes gators looked like they were ready to beat the sun lake seahawks for the first time in six seasons but in a game that could have been sponsored by home depot because whoo! both teams were bringing the lumber. the seahawks, wearing the road white unis scored three touchdowns and held their cross

beat the fighting gators 21-3. and over at the home of the braves, the lake wales handers were sending up -- high landers were sending up smoke signals from kickoff to the end of the game. the lake gibson braves' defense was all up in the high landers' kitchen breaking all the dishes, forcing three turnovers. four sacks and only allowing the highlanders past midfield two times during the entire out. and breaking north, up to hernando county where the nature coast sharks' high powered offense donning the black uniforms is averaging 40 points a game. but the sharks facing their cross town rivals central bears lit up the scoreboard with quarterback brian haygoode single hand delay outscoring

the bears and went on to win it at-20. -- 59-20. this week i feel like the braves get a trophy, the seahawks get a trophy and the sharks get a trophy too. i think i just had an epiphany. maybe that is why they won't let me vote. but coming up at 5:30, the team of the week trophy finds a new place to anthony allred. channel 8 sports. now the other set of sports. paul ryan. >> you can't just give the trophies away they're expensive. only have so many of them. one a week okay? that's the limit. that's it. jeez. not just football season anymore guys. it's already time to talk pucks and not just the world cup. hockey season never really goes away kind of like my student loan debt. the team the penguins beat in the eastern conference final dropped the puck on training camp this morning. the tampa bay lightning

medical and physical testing as well as a barrage of photo shoots and promoes for the upcoming year. there's a good reason for that. a dozen members to have big club are still in toronto competing in the world cup of hockey. general manager steve yzerman sees their absence as an advantage giving new guys a chance to shine and getting the veterans in game shape. >> you are looking around where's stammen and heady? they're always here, they'll come back and i know they'll get a few days off. but i think u' the guys that were at the world cup when they get back out there, just had a month ahead to prepare and they've had pretournament games and tournament games which are for the most part you know, these are do or die games and they'll be ahead of our guys and i think for our team that's an advantage. >> reporter: the bolts had the undeniably successful off- season, resigning steven stamkos and victor hedman but couch of, e leading scorer remains a restricted free

world cup, yzerman hopes to have him in camp as soon as possible. >> we want kuch signed and we want nestrov signed. we're going to continue to work towards reaching an agreement and we've -- we were in constant contact with nikita's representative. and will continue to do that and hopefully sooner than later we can reach agreement on a contract. >> reporter: the man who lured hockey to the sunshine state is about to be inducted into the florida phil esposito coheadlines the hall of fame. x-rays' outfielder damon and foley and olympic sailor allison volley. the ceremony is set for november 15th. also want to mention for a second straight day the buccaneers were without a half dozen players at practice that includes defensive end robert ayers and running back doug martin. the good news tackle donovan smith returned in a limited capacity from his hip injury.

week against the l. a. rams especially that defense, chuck sims going to have to carry the load in place of doug martin. >> all right very good thank you. we'll be right back. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. he's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. donald trump is a phony, a fraud. he's not a serious adult. i can't vote for donald trump given the things that he said. trump should not be supported. i believe he's disqualified himself to be president.
