And by that I mean messing around on h2g2

Mine do not and I think I’m going to keep it that way. Best not to have worlds colliding or I couldn’t talk about how the woman who sits directly beside me is a major drama squirrel who comes in early and works late because she can’t stand her husband.

Now how would it be for her to see that I’ve written that?

Christ no. I express personal opinions on here. Couldn't possibly have my co-workers thinking that I had opinions.

I heard someone at work talking about a web forum I used to go to. I’m not sure how she found it but clearly that website is dead to me now.

Did someone say "squirrel" ..? Do you have some spare ..?

What's a "coworker"..? One who orks cows?

Your little secret is safe with us in this little corner of the internet.

Whether it's safe from your IT department is a completely different matter.

Some of my cow-irkers are aware of my presence here. They are clearly lower life forms as they haven't had the good sense to log on here themselves...although...wait...is that *you*, Dan?

Some of them also indulge in Mybook and Facespace, although they can't get access to that at w**k, so more fool they.

They seem to think that I'm behind the times because I'm not on Bebook and Mybo. I point out to them that I've been using a social networking site for over 5 years...that tends to shut them up.

But nobody here is scanning for keywords so they can spam you RF..

I have a T-shirt bearing the legend "Myspace is for slags" - you should get one for work!

Um, they know I come on 'some sort of site' on occasions when I stay in my office and eat my lunch over a bit of hootoo. They all know i'm blocked from the internet in general and cant get their heads around the BBC having anything other than news and sport on it... It's too confusing for them. Except for one work mate who introduced me to you guys He knows who he is...

My coworkers couldn't care less about anything relating to the internet. As someone else said, more fools they. I'm pretty sure my boss knows, though, and as long as I'm not doing anything wrong I take the fact he's not mentioned it as a lack of disapproval.

your IT department is a completely different matter

They monitor you and save the reporting for your six month review!



Maybe I work for YOUR IT department..

Working, supposidly at home at the PC hootoo is just tooo distracting sometimes... eh, yeh like nor for example ; when I havce* to go into the office I behave good and don't even sneak a glance at anything unworkrelated unless its just some personal/non work Emails I coudl immigrate and it'd take my manager/collegues months to notice I wasn't even in teh same country as when I began working for em actually I'm tempted to imigrate just to supprise them one day

We don't have an IT Department. We just have a couple of guys people come up to and say "The printer's not printing stuff," expecting them to drop their main job to tend to it. In fact, I'm kind of the third reserve on that list.
We also don't have a 6-month review. Or at least, it's been a bit over 6 months and nobody's mentioned anything yet.

oops sorry wrong thread, although that's where I'd like to be right now.

They may be just a bit behind with the reviews.. It saves money on the pay rise!

I don’t think our IT guys speak enough English to actually follow what the site is about if they did happen to pull it up to see what I’m up to.

The 'bbc.co.uk' bit hides it nicely, I think.

I'm sure my coworkers don't know, but I've been coming here for over 8 years now. A few of them know I do 'some kind of writing', but most of them aren't even curious past that. (I'm not sure all of them can read )

Well I'm ok. I finished work at 2 so I'm home how.

Damn you!

Sorry.
