AWTK - Interwebs at work

[Aphex]

PSB always seems to be quite active during the day, as do a few other forums I frequent. Just pondering, are you lot sneaking a peak throughout the day and hoping no one sees shutting shit down in a hurry when some one walks by or is it something you have the freedom to do at your leisure provided your shit is done?

self-employed...

Iv got abit of freedom. My boss doesnt mind me have PSBlive running in the back ground. Just so long as im not typeing out replys or reading massive posts. I even call him over sometimes to read the odd post or have a look in the babes section.

i work alone so very free these days.

Old job, far less so, but still managed to get distracted from work quite a lot.

As long as I get my stuff done, it's all good.

Same mentality at my work..

I´ve posted from the boat a few times, boss doesn´t care, I´m useful when it counts

I can relate.. but I call it the 'rabbit out of the hat' approach to productivity... sleep till 10am, leave at 3.. 2 hours for lunch.. and just when its starting to wear thin, out comes the rabbit which they'll remember for another few months

Mostly on here during lunch time (gee, look at the time). the boss doesn't mind if it's a bit quiet if Im on the interwebs otherwise.

Doesn't mind me being on PSB either as it has generated a few sales for us so in one way, posting on PSB is drumming up business! (that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it).

When I'm studying... Hour or two in the books, 15 minutes on psb..
When at work, only at lunch.

As long as shit gets done and people arent doing anything dodgy or unlawful on the computers then its pretty cruizy here.

I've been sick as a dog lately so sitting at home doing my best to rest to get back on full steam, you guys see me at my best (whacked out on strong meds) but I'm still a while way from being 100%. My work has me in and out all day anyways so I'm on in between to fill some time. Tomorrow will be my first full day of work for a while, looking forward to it

[busa_bloke]

I do nights mostly. So meh, nobody to see what I do.

Acceptable use policy is basically - no porn etc, no interfering with others doing their job by your web use.

I think running torrents might induce coffee spraying, but a little bit of forum stuff done discreetly goes under the radar.

ditto for me, but only because my boss is so good about it all

[thro]

I'm the BOFH.

No time as of late.



edit:
Out policy is so long as it doesn't interfere with work getting done, doesn't potentially expose the company to legal risk, and doesn't chew bandwidth on sites that don't have it - fair game.


If you're streaming non-work-related audio/video out on a remote site on some shitty 256k frame link, ruining the link for everyone else while they're trying to get work done, I will find out and disable it

[Palms]

Is blocked at work, proly cause of the Babe section

[thro]

^^ more likely, it showed up in the top 10 websites by hits in the firewall/proxy log, admin looked at the report, noticed it was most certainly NOT work related, and canned it.

internets aren't free, and if they're work internets they probably don't want to be paying for you to not work...

[Dragunov-21]

^^Mine too, but under McAfee's work filter.

Used to only be the babes forum, but now the whole site.

[XSorXpire]

I used to go in to the office to check out the babes section and surf for porn as it was too hard to do on my mobile.

Now i have the interwebs at home so i only go in to the office for friday drinks.
