I don't have **time to do it unless I suspect it is being abused, so for the most part employees can get away with it here.

**I don't have time because I spend all day on msg boards.. :)


LOL, can I work where you work?

In DC nine people got fired for porn viewing, it was somewhere in the the rage of millions of hits over a few years. They could have solved that by filters, but some companies go overboard. When I was at my last job, we could access myspace and youtube, to an extent. So long as the film wasn't categorized as obscene, we could see it. DC had no filters whatsoever, apparently.

I just love the world of work. So many nice people.
