hot diggity

someone in my office got suspended for excessive internet use. i find it absolutely unfathomable that anyone here uses the internet more than i do.

*shakes in boots*

looks like i'll have to simmer down a bit on the work OT action.

i'm off to the bar. post here if you like beer.

:beer:

They are looking at bandwidth, not actual 'usage'




we do it here as well. Top two people are given warnings. Everytime it's someone using streaming content all day, or warez-related.

Was busted recently for "inappropriate" websites at the office myself. :) I didn't feel SomethingAwful was inappropriate *whistle*
