I feel somewhat foolish.

[Never]

I forgot this was a porn site.
I forgot this was a porn site while I was at work.
I forgot this was a porn site while I was at work and I wanted to check my e-mail.
I forgot this was a porn site while I was at work and I wanted to check my e-mail until a giant screen popped up in (flashing) red letters telling me I had broken company policy.
I forgot this was a porn site while I was at work and I wanted to check my e-mail until a giant screen popped up in (flashing) red letters telling me I had broken company policy, that all such attempts were logged in the sever history and I could expect to be questioned at a later date.

Good thing I was planning to give my leave in three weeks - I really hated that job.

Oh, and I tripped and sprained my ankle.

 

[Merelan]

Holy shit. You are kidding, right?

 

[April]

Ouch! That sucks, Never.

 

[Mistress]

Awww snuggles

 

[LittleRedDevil]

That's bad.

 

[Chuckus]

Oh no, that bites the big one.

 

[Svedish_Chef]

Oh never I would feel you but never foolishly

POrn? This is litEROTICA... time to hire some lawyers I say.

Almost as bad as checking mail at a public library

 

[Bonnie Wee Lassie]

Opps

I'll say not to worry. Sure, it is logged somewhere. But the chances of some overworked MIS person actually having time to look at the logs and follow up on a single mistake on your part are slim. Now, if you did it many many times so your name was all over the log, I'd say you had a problem. Getting one warning on your screen is likely not the end of your job. It just shows the screening software your company uses works.

 

[Adoratrice]

Any chance they would belive you were looking for the "LITERNOTAMERICA" site?.....didn't think so.


I have no advice, but know that I sit here going "Oh...My ....Gosh...." & feel your pain cause it sounds like something I would do. In fact ...I wanted to show my sister something I had read ....on here ...& like you, I forgot it was a PORN site! I was reeeeal smooth & just turned off the moniter and told her I had some fresh chocholate chip cookies in the kitchen.....good thing she is easily distracted.

 

[Never]

Maybe Cheyenne, that's what I was thinking, but you never know..
They could be watching me right now for all I know. I hope they didn't log me surfing the net and going to ebay to buy some swords and monster.com to find a new job..

Adoratice, where have you been? I missed you... But why didn't you show your sister? You might have made her day, you never know.

 

[morninggirl5]

Never,

My former boss deliberately accessed some porn sites from work to see what would happen soon after we got our current computer system. She got an e-mail saying, "we're sure it was a mistake and if it happens again, you'll be subject to disciplinary action." And how exactly can they prove you didn't get to the site by mistake? I wouldn't worry, especially if you're leaving soon anyway.

Morning

 

[Adoratrice]

Never
Adoratice, where have you been? I missed you... But why didn't you show your sister? You might have made her day, you never know.



Oh yea right ...and have her tell MOM on me? No way.

She already thinks I'm a freak...no need to make her suspicions concrete.

You missed me?......Now you know how we feel when you just run off galavanting doing Goddess knows what at all hours of the night for weeks on end!

I missed you too sweety.....thought maybe Siren had got a'hold of ya
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

 

[Myrrdin]

Never.

Don't worry.
They'll just up the dose of bromide in your coffee machine.

 

[Merelan]

I have often had to stop myself from showing someone something here. I like this place and don't want it cluttered with my crazy, whacked out relatives and friends.
I mean, we are crazy and whacked out enough. If I wnt to say something about a thread here I say i found it on a bb I frequent. only had one guy ask which board. Uggh. Quick change subject and he was distracted. Have to remember the chocolate chip cookies oe though, that would work too.

 

[Mortto56]

Well Never!...I don't know if YOU"LL get caught.But you never know.

In the last 6 months,I have read in the local paper where there have been 2 major companys,and 4 or 5 smaller companys that have fired quite a few people for surfing porn sites.

I guess they just can't take a joke.:lol:

 

[p_p_man]

Work for yourself...

...saves all those little problems of work interfering with porn site surfing...

These bosses - they just don't know what's important in life.

 

[batter]

that really sucks

however we all have to remember, it is company policy, it is company time and money, and it is also company equipment we use when we are at work.

there are many companies out there who do have programs which continuously monitor computer use.

i would think if it were a first time event, then a mere verbal warning would suffice, but to be fired from it for a first offense it insane.

good luck on your next job and be careful if it includes using a computer. it is a hard way to learn a lesson.

just so you know, i dont work in an office. i work in a steel factory so i am not trying to sound biased in any way.

 

[unusuallyconfused]

I am very lucky since I am my own boss and since a large portion of my job is telephone time therefore on "hold" a lot, I can indulge myself. I think an explanation should suffice. If you are a good worker, I can't see why that would adversely affect you except your boss may have some new "ideas" for you.
