pfloyd 0 #1 January 17, 2007 I just wanted to see how many people are here when they are at work, and who gets away with it or not. Please tell your stories as I want to laugh! My Boss has seen me on but has never mentioned anything. But that was a boring story -- see why I need you help. lol My drinking team has a skydiving problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve1 5 #3 January 17, 2007 I recall one day when I was supposed to be working. Instead I was merrily typing away on DZ.COM. I was laughing between sentences and having quite a good time. Then I turned around to see the ugly face of my superintendant staring at me through the window on my door. No words were spoken, but his body language said everything....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGUN 1,407 #10 January 17, 2007 Mirrors can be used with the explanation of "jumpy with someone behind me." The Win+M keys minimize everything.

Zenister 0 #11 January 17, 2007 Quotelol, I can imagine your monitor with the motorcycle style mirrors attached to them. very common in the software industry actually. mostly i surf during lunch or while waiting for some other task to complete, so no as long as i am continually productive and get my tasks done no one bugs me about what i'm doing in the moments of 'idle' time.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
