    AWTK - Interwebs at work

    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?
    In complete darkness we are all the same. It is only our knowledge and wisdom that seperate us. Dont let your eyes deceive you.
    Its the little things that make the difference

    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.
    A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

    i work alone so very free these days.

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

    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).

    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

    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.
    May the force be a considerable distance behind you.

    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

    ^^ 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...

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

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

    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.
