Posting during the day? At work? How?
 

I only post when I'm at work, it's how I fill down spots during the day.

If they tried to fire me, I'd claim a sexual harrassment lawsuit. I'm sleeping with the boss:eek:

He's my husband;)

I work at a library, but I'm a student so they really don't have internet rules aside from "no porn" :)

I am vice-president of my family's business...

I don't go in until 11-11:30 a.m. If I post during the day, it's because I have a few moments of downtime...

So long as work is getting done.. and the site isn't blocked by the firewall.

We don't really have internet rules here.

At any rate, I can always justify my social network usage as part of development (communications and fundraising). :)

Ditto.

I'm still on lunch right now, so I review GC and may post a thing or two. If work is getting done and it's not blocked, nothing really comes of it.

3rd that.

I was just talking about this yesterday! :) When I was hired, I told my then-boss that I was very active in my sorority and was planning to run for national office at some point in the near future. So, I would likely need to respond to e-mails and such during work hours. She said she was completely open to staff doing personal work at the desk if, and only if, it didn't interfere with work. So, my e-mailing expanded to Greek Chat and other things. I'm one of the most productive people in the office and my current boss loves me, so she doesn't care at all what I do.

I guess it doesn't hurt that I'm also one of a handful of people in the office with administrator privileges on the network since I do some of the IT work. :p I have no firewall and I have no remote viewer on my system. I could be planning a hostile takeover for all they know.

By they way, PrettyBoy, what is your deal with the word "jokers"? Or has that been revealed elsewhere?

It reminds me of my great-uncle who is always calling people "rascals" as in "Come ear you rascal!" or "You did a great job, you rascal!"

It's how this particular account defines itself - the others have their own tics.

I post if I see something that catches my attention - essentially my bosses just want me to get my work done and be productive, and if I'm productive it's not a big deal.

Exactly my case, too.

That's awesome! I work at a school. Our IT department (and firewall, for that matter) is so anal-retentive that even the word "Nazi" is BLOCKED from Google Search. Imagine the surprise of the social studies department when the teachers tried to do additional research for their unit on WWII. :rolleyes:

I used to work at a Christian college in the Academic Success Writing and Research Center and we had the same problem. They even blocked the word "sex" so students who were trying to do papers on "premarital sex" were blocked.

In another instance, I was making a presentation at a local elementary school about internet safety for parents and their children. Part of my presentation included youtube videos that I had downloaded and put into the presentation. The computers were old and couldn't seem to handle the videos so I tried to go right to youtube and found that entire site to be blocked.

I know now to always check ahead on the technology whenever I present outside of my office!

It's a bad habit I have IRL.

You know what's so funny about my posts? I had lunch with a few people I met on GC IRL on a couple of occasions. delph was one of them. Before I met the others, I told one of them how old I was via PM and a couple of them said "Now, PB you've got to be joking." Then when I made arrangements to meet up with the few that I met, they said :eek::eek::eek:"Your PB!?"

But it's a bad habit. RC, Ksigkid and others have already gotten on me about it. I'm working on it.:D

I work for a state agency and I'm barely allowed to breath on my pc.

I used to be able to check my home email but I can't even do that.

I do check the Atlanta paper front page several times a day so I don't feel so cut off from the world.

I can kinda sorta (not really) understand. The whole bldg. has been plagued by a computer virus the past few days. I do know other folks who are definitely checking non-work sites but I know that I'd get busted!

I am hoping to get a BB in 3 months so I can check the web and they won't know. ;)

That happened to me in my old district. I teach biology and all manner of words associated with the reproductive system were blocked. Many of the teachers across various departments lobbied for teacher access, so we were able to search for scary words like breast and Nazi in peace.

The current school I work at probably wouldn't care, but I just don't post during work hours. Since I'm on such a different time zone, most people aren't posting when I'm at work. Its been a bit of exception the last few weeks since I've been off for holiday, but starting soon it will be back to the grind.
