Members leepmeister Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 I'm doing my work...which consists of placing probes on a silicon wafer and pulsing circuit components until they break... But while the tests are running, I COULD be reading more about circuit design (this is an internship afterall)... But I spend about half that time on here. I don't THINK my boss minds...much. And to answer my own poll...1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members basshunter Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 None. It happened once or twice over the years, but not often. My office is all the way at the end of the room opposite the door. I can hear people as they walk towards me. Once someone gets close enough, I know they must be coming to see me and I toggle to something work related. Voila!!! See how hard I'm working!!!

Members Bonoman Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Only 1 or 2, but that's because my boss doesn't come into my office very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SA Rios Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 I always have a window open that I can switch to in a heartbeat. My desk also faces out to the room with my back to a wall so I don't have to worry about anyone sneaking up on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weirdocat Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 er.. haven't been caught yet! but whilst we're on the topic of people looking over your shoulder.. does anyone get really pissed off when people do that? Like.. lean over your shoulder when you're checking e-mail and stuff and go "who's that? What does that mean? I can't believe you're still talking to ____" :mad: it makes me so mad!

Members leepmeister Posted May 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Unfortunately I face the wall...so sneaking up on me is a matter of course (I'm in a big room with lab eqipment everywhere so it also obscures his approach ;-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sludgebass69 Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 My desk is out in the room facing the door so I've got plenty of time to see who is coming into my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members niomosy Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Never. Alt-Tab is my friend and I always make sure it switches to a Word document of some kind of documentation I'm working on It also helps that my surfing system pretty much faces my cube entrance (so people only see the back of it, not what I'm doing) It helps that we've got raised floors in here which make a fair amount of noise. I can generally hear people coming before they get into my cube and switch before they get here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 At my college job, the answer is never...though it really doesn't make any difference as long as I'm getting my work done. At my other job, I'm the boss...so it doesn't make any difference there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members no-logic Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 I run the truck fleet where I work and my boss doesn't bother me much. It's a great job. So I don't spend much time on non-work related sites at work. You know, because I like my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeonVomit Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 As for the question, BOALG because I'm a student and I work at a bar part time, no internet connection there, therefore no HCBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluesman0511 Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Who are all these smartasses that want us to believe they never get caught on HCBF by their bosses? Oh wait, I get it... They are unemployed or they work at the 7 - 11... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
