How many of you are sneaking on DU while at work???
Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 12:46 PM by RiverStone
Ok, I admit it. My employer has a pretty loose internet policy and I know lots of my co-workers are occasionally on e-bay, sending emails, checking football scores, or simply goofing off.

Maybe even on DU?:hi:

Two months ago I discovered this cool place! And now, I'm here (while at work) too much!
Lets just say its a healthy distraction.

Anybody else brave enough to admit their sneakiness? Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

p.s. You are NOT being monitored right now...well, probably not

5. Work? You mean doing stuff that someone else tells you you're not doing right
but pays you nearly nothing for it anyway? I'm on my way to take a nap. Fuck work.

11. DoD blocks DU where I work
The neo-cons can visit the Drudge Report, but DoD (at least where I work) blocks DU. They also block Air America but not Rush Limbaugh. Maybe the new majority in Congress will change this???

14. Not me
My company has a very strict "no non-business related surfing" policy; they monitor usage and have been known to fire people for it. The one termination case I'm familiar with involved listening to internet radio, no porn or anything obviously out-of-bounds.

15. No sneaking required
I go in to see my boss and find him playing solitaire plenty of times.

22. I was, all day

But I've been careful to forget my login password so I can't actually post from there, or small skyscrapers of paperwork would rapidly grow in the space of a week.
