Cube dwellers: what do you leave on your screen?

[slackerinabox]

what do you leave on your screen when you leave for say a bathroom break? I don't like the screen saver because it looks like you've been gone for a significant amount of time, so I pop up an excel sheet (even though I rarely use excel).

You?

I lock the screen like every responsible employee should when they leave their desk.

I lock my machine whenever I plan on being further than 15 feet from my cubicle.

Not taking any chances here either.

Lock it usually. But if I didn't it would be Outlook.

 

[slsmnaz]

no way I'm leaving my desk with it unlocked. Not that anyone would do anything malicious but there are plenty of pranksters waiting

 

[clamum]

I lock the screen, so my wallpaper is what's left.

Yeah...with some of the topics here (and every Avatar over at TFNN) having an unlocked screen could be catastrophic...lol

Always locked. It's my job on the line if it isn't.

If IT walks by your desk and see's an unlocked computer they lock it and change your password.

If they walk by your office and see a open door and unattended notebook computer, they take that computer and you give it to your supervisor.

i took a screen shot of acad with a drawing open, set it to the background and hid icons when my jr engineer left his unlocked. he came back, thought it locked up and pushed the reset button. i had a great laff on that one when it booted up to acad. he was confused for a while on that one. he locks it if im anywhere in the building now.

I just walk away. I get my job done and I know my shit so it's a non-issue for me.

The windows lock screen.

 

[Lamont Burns]

Bathroom is steps away and building is secure.

 

[Possessed Freak]

If I stand up, then I lock the machine.

some corporate screensaver pops up after a while. i lock it when i leave my desk and if i'm here, and people can see the desktop, they see a December 2009 Edmonton Oilers calendar.

 

[DrawninwarD]

I lock it if I step away where I can't see it.

Winkey+L use to be modivation to hax0rs the computer where I worked. I'd reboot the PC with my CD that'll crack an XP password in like 3 minutes. If they were gone even 7 minutes I could already have done something. Stupid office never set the BIOS to not allow booting from a CD. I only did this on co-workers I knew well as jokes. They'd be like "WTF!!! I was gone 10 minutes and somebody hacked my PC and changed my wallpaper and made my icons huge as hell.

all in fun.
