None here. In fact, our national sales manager frequently surfs porn during work hours. I caught him checking out a "Big Jugs" website last month.

Does your workplace block anything?

2. Yes.
Just about everything. It's as if they expect me to work the whole time.

:argh:

6. No, that's because the main office monitors our computers.

They know what Web sites we visit and they can see what is on our screens, so employees that I work with don't dare go to objectable sites.

10. Same here.
Our Internet access is wide open, but everything we do is logged. Even worse, those logs are on an open Internet server, so anyone can view them. The general rule is "Don't do anything you don't want everyone knowing about".

It's called peer policing :\

9. Ken Dorn is an asshole. I met him at a convention once.
In fact, a lot of sax-players like to call him Ken Porn, as he used to be in the porno magazine business.

And it's saxOphone, you cretin.

8. Mine does, but since I work out of my house,
I also have my own laptop handy. DU is blocked from my work laptop. :( I run both at the same time. I don't dare do anything on my work laptop that I don't want broadcast or checked.

11. Lots. Fantasy sports, music downloads, and weirdly, 'The Onion'

:shrug:

Porn, too, I'm sure. I've never been stupid enough to try that.
