Yikes, you have way too much time on your hand to police that much. What software do you use to monitor all of this stuff?

007 Starr is one I have used but there are many others, most of which run completely in the background undetected by the user. I've also used my linux router to track net use by logging IP's. Not something I particularily like to do but it's part of my responsibility.

My work requires me to be there for 10 hours a day 4 days a week. I do sporatic work. Its honest labor, and I have to be here to do it. My job is important, and if I screw up we lose money.

But out of my 40 hour week, I realisticlly only work 10-15 hours of it.

I split my "free" time on my hobbies, and my school work. Am I a bad person for that? I don't think so.

On a 911 is the gas tank the one with the odd shape for the spare wheel? How does it work to get fuel up in the center of the wheel part? Am I totally off?

You fill the tank from the top, so it should automatically rise within that area...

I'm sure the next time you drop your car off to the mechanic you won't mind if he takes takes a few days to drive it up the coast, using up your gas, burning through a set of tires, oh, and putting all that time on the bill when he returns.

It amazes me how many people feel it's ok to steal from their employer, which is exactly what you are doing when conducting personal business 'on the clock'.

More surprising that one business owner would aid people to steal from another. Must be part of this "New Economy" everyone talks about.

If companies followed the line between work and personal life, I wouldn't have a problem with the above statement.

Since most larger companies are expecting people to work more hours, more overtime, and with more "on-call" time (w/o any additional compensation, mind you) I don't think that I mind to much taking care of a little business of my own.

Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile. Also, I would ask how many upper level execs DON'T do personal stuff on company time. Very few from my personal observations.

Just my .02$, anyway.

brianhinfl,

what were you doing at 2:28 pm 2/10/03?

I AM the Network Admin where I work, and I have software that lets me see at a glance all the sites that any given user has accessed, and if I see a paticular address that seems to come up often, I go to it and see what it is, and decide if I need to tell the guy to calm down, or block it.
I am VERY lax on who goes where, but I can see when someone is spending too much time on the Internet...
Unfortunately, for you Wayne, I am the only one here who uses the Pelican BBS, because I am the only Porsche guy here, and I do not block it!

I work for a small company where I have many "hats" including network admin, technical director, and lead R&D. My employer has the right idea when it comes to management which might explain our 30% growth last year. Simply put he keeps the employees happy. Family and personal time are considered of the utmost importance and it is not unusual for an employee to run personal errands during work hours or get the day of to take care of a sick child. The employees also have afterhours access to the building including use of the company tool crib to repair their cars and such. I myself store and work on my P-car at our facility, the week before Christmas I spent a week installing a new engine into a used Explorer for my wife, my boss even helped. The point here is simple when employers allow personal business to mingle with work the employees allow work to merge with "off time" perhaps this is why none of us think twice about staying late or working the weekend to get orders out the door or why I sometimes bring research work home with me yet never account for the hours to my employer. A little give and take goes a long way towards making a company successful. It also means that employees become dedicated to their jobs and will not tolerate those who choose not to be part of the team. As network admin I had the unfortunate duty of keeping tabs on a non-team player who was massively abusing his privileges, I used spyware to catch him in the act and he was eventually terminated. The end result to this was an even more productive team and ultimately more successful company.
