hmm, no, but then I do hide the screen when management come into my office!

To be honest, as long as I do my work when I need to then they are pretty laid back about it.

Timbo - know what you mean - I don't think the reaction would be any worse if you got caught in bed with her sister or something

FB,

as i drove home from work at lunch time I passed Tim on his way in so it seems hes adopted the practice of play PS2 in the morning then go to work to avoid any wife/PS2 encounters in the afternoon when she gets home from work!

Thumbs up

I had to give myself a thorough bollocking this morning for being on Scoobynet instead of working, now I am my own boss

Seriously though, I understand the PS2 thing - why the reactions from women I have found a way to do it now though. at 11pm she says shes off to bed. I say I will be up shortly, but I know she will be asleep within minutes - PS2 then goes on, and 2 hours later I sneak up to bed

There not actually allowed to look to see what sites you have been visiting... Apparently something to do with RIP Regulatory investigative powers.. or whatever...

Dont take my word for it though... but its what are info security manager told me...

Oh... work for IT and no havent been told off.. they wouldn't dare!

If I caught my partner playing on the PS2 he'd get a kicking for being on it instead of me LOL

I have no PS2 though

I wondered into the IT department and one of them coughed - Scoobynet

Apparently I have clocked up a fair number of hours... the best bit is I am currently a long way down the list and I get on with everyone in there (another reason for the username change).

So no trouble yet, give it time.

Though the two people who are about to visit HR (told by IT) may not fair very well... p0rn on a company laptop!! Morons...

Cool

not officially been told off yet, although I have been *seen* logging onto scoobynet when I shouldnt have and told to calm down a bit with the amount of access I indulge in.
I get round being caught by shifting my Internet Icon down down to the bottom right of the screen, then moving the monitor image to the right so it is obscured totally. Then Its just a case of being handy (not to mention quick ) with the minimise function
Its worked so far
