Poll question: How much are you allowed to use the Internet for personal reasons at work?
Seems a lot of companies are clamping down on that.

Mine doesn't give a rip, so long as I get my work done.

7. Actually we have a policy against abuse of the internet
but in actuality no one baby-sits anyone else as we aren't run by wingnuts.

13. My fundamentalist christian republican bush supporting boss
would be appalled. But I'm good at what I do and he wouldn't want to lose me so I have some leverage here to do what I like as long as my work gets done. I actually have a feeling he is spying on my computer. He had at least one computer here under surveillance. It was the one his lying, cheating, stealing, pious christian wife used. She's history now. Hello there bossman! :hi:
