Yep just had my boss caught me and say “You got enough purging* to do there” in really sarcastic tone.

*purging = a mind numbing process of looking a 100’s of claims and if they fall within a predefined set rules closing the claim.

Ps im on notice, one month to go so not really to bothered “face,bothered, face, bothered bothered face”

I often catch myself looking while at work..

I would tell myself off, but I'm two minds about that.

The guys here know that I visit and say that PH has ruined my life, that I have become more opinionated etc since I found it.

Personally speaking though, I'd say that certain things about PH have improved my life (especially recently!)

I get caught all the time

Crap now I have that feeling that he is looking over every few minutes, its like a game can I open PH post a message and change screens before he looks again.

I constantly check the Mercedes section, so I reckon I'm work relevant. Hard to justify my battering of assorted LFC sites methinks

Whilst that may hide it from management on a visual level... doesn't help on a corporate logging basis...

Oh bugger ..

boss:'you have been on the internet for 8 hours this week, which is a full days work. Mostly on pistonheads or something - please stop with the car thing.

I dont know what that is but it probably doesn't stop people looking over your shoulder, I need rear view mirrors on my screen

Maybe we should have a 'boss is watching' button at the top of each page that throws up a picture of a complicated looking spreadsheet - something like lastminute.com have got at the top right of their home page.

The windows button is between the Ctrl and Alt to the left of the spacebar. Try hitting that and the M key together.

I'm in Marketing within the software game and if you look closely in a screenshot on one of our product brochures you can see a little "PH:Gassing Station" in the taskbar. Not only have I been caught out in work before but now thousands of prospective clients the world over can see what I've been doing when I should have been working. Doh!

I must admit to topping the charts on internet usage in our company for three months running a couple of years ago...

Only 300 people work here...

PH was the number 1 site in my list

good work fella!
