Feel sorry for me!
Edited on Mon Aug-11-03 10:41 AM by LuLu550
Our wonderful, left leaning network administrator is leaving at the end of the month. He gave me a "heads up" that the new guy loves Bush and is a right wing nut. Feel sorry for me...now I have no one to talk politics with here are work. I'm getting paranoid that the new guy may watch were I go when I surf the web on my breaks and lunch!

On edit: He's not my boss, he's the computer network guy. That's why I'm paranoid about his watching me!

1. You have my deepest sympathies, LuLu.
There is little that is worse than having a reich-winger for a boss. You have to listen to their hot-air and misinformed political views, and you can't go anywhere to get away from it.

5. The hard part is keeping your mouth shut
I had a boss who didn't know where I stood but he suspected I was a Dem, so he kept baiting me.

The one day I let him have it with both barrels--and guess what? He came back to me the next day and said he respected my opinion!

6. If he respected a differing opinion, then he was not a real
right-winger.

7. True, I think this guy has hope
but he watches to much TV news (like the rest of the country).

8. Avoiding being watched
There's two main ways of watching you - packet sniffing and peeking.

If he suspects enough to start watching packets, his packet analyzer can watch the traffic and note that some of it is going to democraticunderground.com. If he's just sniffing, you can get a bogus ftp session or other bandwidth waster going in another window and your DU packets will be buried inside the FTP session.

To peek, he needs to use SMS or some other screen capture protocol. The thing is, though, you can watch it happen by keeping your task manager running in one corner and watch for strange programs to pop up. Also, if your mouse suddenly gets really sluggish or the mouse pointer starts moving on its own, you're being watched.
