How do all you guys out there with jobs, manage to get away with posting all day here. Surely you must be on some network that has some form of logging. And how do you hide the fact that you have XLTronic open on the screen when other employees might be around? *pauses of a minutes silence* Poor Thad :( |

i've got my own office, and i use firefox, so i can either ctrl+w, or ctrl+tab and hide my surfing. i post on at least three other forums as much as i do here. <-- least productive person ever. |

My monitor is pointed at a discreet angle so the two people either side of me can't see what's on it. I don't give a fuck about logs, I'm looking at porn most of the time - there's so many people here IT haven't got the time to check it thoroughly (so my source says) and I use someone else's password (if not IP address) to access the net. *Goes back to Championship Manager* |

my boss couldnt give a dick and a shit about what I do on the comp. I basically sit here, waiting to check out gear to people... nothing else really... so we can do whatever we like in our free time that we are waiting for someone to help. sweet. |

i have my own office. i only surf when I don't have anything to do.. which is most of the time because I'm so efficient whenever i get a job, so it'll be finished like 20mins after I get it. |

We have core hours, between 10 and 12 and 2 til 3 when we can't surf. But I'm a renegade and laugh in the face of their rules. Fuck the Welsh Assembly. |

Teaphoo? Whered you look on the internet for that bra! its gnarly! (you seen blue crush, oh how i laughed) Cools ok, unless you use it 'just' to describe your new liquid nitrogen cooling fan system for your pc |

I got that pic from www.surfersofdubai.com, I thought you would have already seen it since you posted the link. I take it that is not your site then. |

oh defs not bra! its some new zealand expat guys. its good we have it though. not many ppl think theres surf in the mid east, they all think we ride to school on camels and live next to pyramids. BUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! im going to put a new atvar up. |
||||||||

|
|
so you tell us not to 'Surf' the web but you like to use the words 'defs' and 'bra'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's ok dude! he surfs so he is allowed to use those words. Surfing also grants you use of words such as gnarly, awesome, radical, totally, fresh and exquisite (as in 'that wave was quite exquisite) :) |

Well I use the active desktop to keep an eye on the page. I just refresh it every now and then. When I'm actually looking at the page I do it like this: |

When I worked I was on here a lot more. Tricks: Engage in subtle replacing of desk/screen to shield view of screen. Don't DL any big files at work (the few people whose internet usage was investigated was based on the employees who used most bandwidth. I was on XLT/doing personal email lots of the time, but the actual number of MB UL/DLed by me was very small.) Actually do your job- if your productivity is high managers: a) Won't investigate your net usage b) Will turn a blind eye to it if they see. My job involved lots of small periods of waiting (for phone line modems to dial up, documents to print, files to copy, install bars to progress etc.) So I used to just use XLT to fill those small gaps. I do the same now- I'm rarely just "on the board", I'm usually waiting for graphics/sound to render, docs to print etc. Become friends with at least one person in the dept that monitors internet usage. That way you can find out the monitoring policy and also if you're under investigation. I used to play CS with one of ours and he had far more questionable net usage than me so I was fine. |

yeah i have no idea how they get away with it. |

Well my good friend this is how its done. I dont give a fuck what they think I dont give a fuck who they be....that's me singing. No really I know they can check where you go on the internet but they mainly take notice if youre going on porn sites constantly. My boss has walked into my office when I've had this page open with FREAKY EYES looking back at him, but he doesnt care. He knocks anyway (RESPECT BITCH) so i usually minimize and on the screen is the database i should be looking at :> |

I'm at work now and I have 19 applications open at the moment so no boss can see the difference between xltronic and the other web based applications we use all the time, so I'm safe. And everyone here mail lots of junk to eachother all the time, including da boss... |

They TELL me that they monitor our internet usage, and I never see anyone else surfing the net at work, so I don't do it much myself. Fuck, I'd love to be able to surf freely. I do occasionally read some sports pages and interesting computer related things (that sort of IS my work), but I'm not a big surfer there. I've been thinking I'll test drive it though. Spend a day on a messageboard and see if I get roped. I'm a good worker so I doubt they'd fire me for that one hiccup. |

I have no fucking minute at work to post I am working hard..... for once |

I get lots of time to read magazines and eat stuff between taking calls, precious moments. Don't you get any leisure time or spare minutes to mess around? I kind of wish my job was like that, it would make the days go faster. They're as slow as a slug slugging through mollases. |

mine go fasty fast I tell you but I only work 5 hours a day so I dont really need a break... if it where 8 hours I surely would need some break for lucnh and some other break too |

surf @ work, not in work |

I don't work! |

Sadly I dont get the water and waves in my office to be able to surf. I can only use the internet because my boss allows me. My boss is the greatest boss in the world. My boss is me. |
