I had referred to a bad thing that i needed to post about a few days back. Well, I guess I was over-reacting.
I was working from home because of having to wait for the Dish Network guy to come and upgrade all of my equipment (ok, not all of my equipment... you pervs). My riend and co-worker Dan was in IM telling me about his roommate from college. How he is a complete geek, but he has started working in a different field that computer science, which is what he went to school for.
Dan then sends me a URL. Not thinking... I blindly click. Wholly hell, the guy is part of some porn site in which there are videos of him and some other guys having sex with much older women. It is totally disgusting... Dan tells me to check out a particular page. It's like a train wreck, I couldn't look away.
I got away from the computer for a while... then I realized it, I was connected through the work VPN when looking at that crap. SHIT!
Now the IT folks at work are going to think I am a really sick fucker.
I talked to Dan about it later. He called me a moron in a million differrent ways. He didn't think I was on my laptop. UGH! I started to wonder if I should talk to someone about it. Dan rationalized it for me. He said if they were going to do anything they would first give me a warning. He said if they were going to fire me for it they would have a hard time since we are on these contracts because of our jobs going off-shore. He said they wouldn't do anything because I could take them to court and cost them far more than my severance.
I remained freaked out for a few more hours, but as I thought about it more and more I was sure he was right.

On a good note...
The VP that made the ever popular decision to move our project to Scotland and China "has decided to leave the company". Yes, that means he was fired. He has cost the company a shit load of money causing our project to go from making a good profit with a huge potential for a large market share to scaring most of our big customers and losing their trust. The ass clown is surely riding on a huge golden parachute, but he is gone, and we are cheering about it.

Hmmm... well how long were you on the page for?
- if it was only a minute or two, then you can totally blame it on the internet (pop-ups and such).
- if it was for up to 15 minutes, then tell them that you were on break (at home), and that was how you decided to spend your 15 minutes off.
- more than 15 minutes? You're on your own.
But seriously though, I doubt that they'll even care, or notice for that matter. There's definitely no need to worry about it.
I've decided that I am not worried about it. This company is so big that I doubt they much time for watching that stuff. If they were that concerrned they should disallow access to sites like that. I worked at a company a couple years ago that blocked traffic like that.
that is HILARIOUS. but i wouldn't worry about it either.
