Do you visit BFP from work?

[Nat]

Do you or have you visited BFP from work? Just curious. :)

[Lady Pamela]

Yes to at work and Yes to on work computer..lol


I run my own business at home...lol

[The_Lady_Snow]

Do you or have you visited BFP from work? Just curious. :)

I was written up for visiting the dash site at one job.. Due to pornographic content..

My last job where I worked under a Corporation, they did not care, I still did it only on my breaks, or during down time, or lunch. Courtesy they are not paying me to play online.

I can now, my bosses don't care.

I feel fortunate for that.

If I went and applied for a job say at AT&T I wouldn't try it till I got an ok, no fuckery is worth my paycheck.

[JustJo]

Not on the work computer...cuz that would probably get me in big trouble.

I do log on during "work time" - but that's a fuzzy thing for me since I'm salaried, work from home and don't actually have set hours. I'm responsible for seeing my projects through...not for punching a clock.

I'm lucky like that. :)

[MrSunshine]

No, but I enjoy watching and knowing others have to work. I'm a prick like that.

[Linus]

Like you, I'm pretty much left to my own devices to do as I see fit for what I need to do. The only this isn't the case is when I'm actually teaching in front of students..

[Scorp]

Yep, I sure do...All day...so for those of you who think I don't have a job...WRONG... :byebye:

I can multi-task like a mofo...

Hopefully big brother isn't watching.

I usually delete my cookies, history, etc. before leaving for the day.

[dark_crystal]

i am at work right now! and on a gov't computer!

but librarians are total freaks about privacy and censorship, so no one is going to pull my logs and no one is going to tell me what sites i can go to- not in a million bazillion years

[LipstickLola]

Do you or have you visited BFP from work? Just curious. :)

Yes, on my laptop. I work nights, and since I joined, it has provided me with some really great reading :) some things are blocked by the network and I was however surprised that this site opened for me.

[Dreamer]

The Buggas wont get wifi on the paddle steamers for me so I miss out :( bastids

[JustBeingMe]

Hey Linus, I think Scorp needs a virus sent to hym. LOL Just to fuckery up his computer for ONE DAY of fuckery.

[JustBeingMe]

Just wait til they find out what this site is.....it won't be up for you anylonger than that. LOL

[Apocalipstic]

Yes, I am at work right now.

I am also quite a multitasker, left to my own devices and travel for work and am on call quite a bit so I have a lot of flexibility.

I prefer to work somewhere I am not watched, tested and micromanaged. I don't do well with that.

[Scorp]

Careful what you wish for there...

Payback is a bitch and I can be one major psychotic fuckery individual...

Hey Linus, I think Scorp needs a virus sent to hym. LOL Just to fuckery up his computer for ONE DAY of fuckery.

[Corkey]

When I was working I had internet access, one of the few in my department to have it. I could research anything having to do with my job, investigator. However my job had nothing to do with queer studies, so no I would not have been here during working hours.

I was out at work and never had any incidents of harassment for my gender. I worked for a very progressive company that also had partner benefits. So if they were being so very fair and up front with me, I could not be devious and go somewhere I should not have been, using their equipment.

Your mileage may vary.

[Ebon]

Yes because I work from home! The commute and dress code are both awesome.

[Gemme]

Do you or have you visited BFP from work? Just curious. :)

I have in the past, yes. Here and the - too. When it was inappropriate for me to do so, I didn't. When it was okay and/or no one cared, I did.

The environment and atmosphere for every job is different.

[Gayla]

At the soup factory, I could do pretty much anything and no one cared until a restructuring gave me an idiot boss who threw a fit about LJ of all things. He really was an idiot.

Since I am officially self employed now, even though I still go into the office everyday, etc., I can pretty much do anything I want so my answer is yes. I use my own laptop in the office but am on the company's wifi so I avoid porn sites or anything too offensive. Then again, I don't think there's anyone here who would be able to track our Internet usage since I spend a good chunk of my day reminding people how to do things like cut n paste.

When things are slow, I spend a good chunk of my day on BFP, Facebook or playing WoW. When things are not slow, I can go days without logging in to any of them except maybe in the middle of the night. So not seeing me in the middle of the day is a good thing! :)

[lipstixgal]

No I work for a medical office and not allowed on the computer at all. I don't even have a password I'm just a intern so no computer access for me. But if I do get a job in teh medical field I don't think I will go on even if allowed!!

I have used my phone and gotten on the site on break or while in the restroom, it's like reading the paper while ya go..... I would NEVER get on the site from a work computer with my company. To begin with it would block me and not let me have the site to start with. Secondly social websites are not important enough for me to jeopardize my job to begin with. Thirdly, my company can print out all the websites we've been to and not only that, they can tell how many pages have come off of your printer, they are pretty sophisticated with our IT/IS people.

To tell you how anal my company is they wrote up a guy last month for using his phone in the bathroom to post on facebook, at work having a great day. Someone trying to get brownie points for a promotion, who was not at work reported it.....

I would not last a day.

I am really good at what I do, but no way am I playing little corporate tell on people games at this point in my life. Zero.

Excellent, glad to hear that sort of behavior is not rewarded! :)

[Rockinonahigh]

No no never ever..I work for a catholic hospital...they would stroke out if I did get on this site or others like it.

[betenoire]

There are really strict rules about surfing the web at my workplace. No politics, no religion, no facebook, no hate-sites, no porn, no sites that have content that could potentially make any of your coworkers uncomfortable.

I work graveyard shifts and get a lot of downtime - so I pretty much just hang out on youtube and play Bloons Tower Defense. *shrug*

[Billy]

Yes I do :) But I work for Myself and at the warehouse there is wireless set up for the Brokers so , I just bring My laptop :)

[dixie]

My work is a very relaxed atmosphere all together, so our internet rules are very relaxed. We are allowed to surf any site we wish, as long as we don't download porn. I generally stick to bfp and facebook (and the cheezburger kitteh site) cause those are my favs anyway...lol I love my job. :)

[Tcountry]

Yes...best time to stalk when ya'll are sleepin...(except Gemme ~ she's always up) :)

[Gaige]

I access this site from work using my phone. I use the work computer for work only. I can access everything on this site with my phone except the chatroom. Whenever I try to get into the chatroom I get a message saying I need to download Java. I'm pretty sure I already have Java on my phone. Anyone one else have this problem accessing the chat with your phone. I'm using a Droid X btw. Would appreciate any tips you can supply. thanks

[Random]

Nope..

I'm at work to work, not play...

[Oiler41]

Nope, not ever. There are certainly corporate policies in place that say this site, due to content, would be a no-go. They will overlook sites like CNN, ESPN and even Amazon but a social interaction type website or any site that might have the chance of something that could be viewed as pornographic is, as a general rule, off limits in any major corporation. I can access the site from my iPhone but I just kind of don't think its right to access it at work; it just feels wrong and for me personally, that is kind of a litmus test I use. If it feels wrong, the odds are it generally is. I am a manager in my company and its just best for me that I not deviate from what I know would be unacceptable. The benefit - risk ratio just isn't there. I'll catch up with everything when I get home or want to check in on my phone. It works for me.

Glynn

[TIMBERWOLF]

Nope , not at work. Only 2 computers have internet and its not the one I use. My Boss and our receptionist are the only ones that have it. But If i need to research sometime im free to use my boss's computer or if he needs something he ask me to go on line and get it for him. I wouldn't screw off while they are paying me to work for them and not having fun for myself. Besides, I am far to busy running from patient to patient giving them Therapy, then to be on line.
TIMBER

[Hack]

No. This would be blocked, I am sure, on our surf filter.

[Gemme]

Yes...best time to stalk when ya'll are sleepin...(except Gemme ~ she's always up) :)

Not always.

*grin*

Moreso when I have insomnia or Organic's motor is running especially loud some evenings.

Linus would be the best person to ask tech questions about the site. He has an Ask Linus thread or you could pm him.

[cara]

BFP is blocked at my workplace, so I connect to the site through my wireless mobile phone during the day. It makes reading and catching up with people a complete chore. But at least I have a little bit of my BF connection throughout the day. :)

:stillheart:

cara

[hpychick]

Not an authorized Website. :( boo freakin' hoo. Howevah...it's probably a good thing. Otherwise, I would spend all day seeing what y'all are up to! :blink:

[LipstickLola]

Just wait til they find out what this site is.....it won't be up for you anylonger than that. LOL

Yeah, I thought of that already, lol, ESPECIALLY since this Fuckery word keeps getting thrown around :blink: I also feel that I should say, I work very hard, but do have built in down time with my job, just the nature of the beast ;)

[MsDemeanor]

I had to check 'other'. I telecommute, work whatever hours I choose, and have my work and personal computers sitting next to each other on my desk. I don't use the work computer for anything personal, and I don't bill for the time I spend doing personal things, but I can take a break from work at any time, hop on the home PC, and go anywhere I like.

[DamonK]

I very rarely....very....rarely...have time. When I do, it's on a break on my phone.

Then again, I rarely have time to take breaks.

[Lynn]

Right now, I don't have access to a work computer, and I set my own hours, so I go on the site when I feel like it. Or, when I feel like procrastinating, as I usually do.

In my last job, we could use email and go on personal sites when on breaks. I know, though, that they did check on line histories from time to time, and they probably didn't think too highly of my going on the site. It isn't porn, or I would have heard about it. But, they're a bunch of homophobic f-k's. Which is among the reasons I left.

Deleting cookies and history off of a pc does not erase the information which the administrator would have access to. It would be especially important to be sure to log on and off so it's clear that surfing is done on break times, not company time.

[EnderD_503]

No, and I probably wouldn't even consider it. At work I only use the comp for work-related stuff, and the only sites I visit that aren't company websites are fitness-related websites. Most of the time I'm not even at the comp at work, anyways.

[oblivia]

My office has the site blocked. *boo*. Though I don't have any real privacy so that's a barrier too. If I had my own office, I'd totally check in a little from work. :)

[1PlayfulFemme]

*G* Ah the advantages to owning my business!! I CAN do whatever I want at work; I OPT to get the day done sooner so I can get home and enjoy my quiet time here!!! :)

[AtLast]

Retired- I get to log-on to the Planet whenerver I want! And it is the only
B-F website I am a member of. Sticking with the best! Just is a good "fit" for me.

[perfekly_flawed]

Like some of the folks above, I work from home for an IT company. I have a company issued laptop and a personal desktop.

While my company is pretty progressive and gays/lesbians are protected under our diversity policy, we have domestic partner bennies - etc., my personal feeling is that I'd be disrespecting my company doing anything not work related on the equipment they provided for me to work on. Social networking, gaming, etc.

So, instead I have become the Queen of Multitasking between 2 machines at all times...

:hangloose:

I have a Droid as well, I tried to enter chat and it said I needed java so I hit the provided link to download it. Got to the java site and hit the free download button and got ... device not supported. So I guess using the Droid to go into the chat room is not an option at this time.

[RockOn]

I went online years ago to another B-F site while at work ... I got tagged for it back then and they blocked the website ... what a bunch of fun-preventers! LOL!

Now, they have tightened Internet restrictions even more in the past couple of years. I still get tapped on the head once in a while.

Oh well ....

[Syr]

Just one of the many perks of being retired.

[MountainStar]

I don't visit here...or any other site that could be tracked and cause issues for me. I can go online once home and go wherever I want...weeee!

[Nat]

My work computer is heavily tracked, and the official corporate rules are very strict, but most people appear to have smartphones and if you sit at anybody's desk (including my boss's) for more than 5 minutes, their phone does something communicative - emails, texts or rings.

My boss doesn't actually pick up if we're in there though my last meth-head boss would totally text and talk right in front of us.

I only ever use the internet on my work computer for work-related stuff.

We have productivity goals we have to meet, and I usually meet/exceed them. But I definitely read bfp from my iphone while at work, and I generally post on breaks. If I hear a song I like on Pandora, I will sometimes find the link on youtube and paste it to the listening thread while working. It's a pretty quick maneuver and then it's there for posterity ;) (read: for my own future enjoyment). If they ever make us put our smartphones away, it will be the podcasts I'll miss most.

[Medusa]

Sounds like we need to get to work on the iPhone app ;)

I've been studying the app building process for several months. I feel like I'm close to beginning work on it but it has to go in line behind the zillion other projects for the site.

Why can't I just win the damned lottery so I can work for ThePlanet full time instead of the system?!!!! WAAAHHHHHH!!!

That's exciting :) I hope you DO win the lotto. ;)

[Scorp]

Well, for the "hitting the lotto" day dreaming segment, my intention(s) have always been to:

Toss $$$ The Planet's way and to donate a big chunk to the MSPCA which holds a very special place in my heart. I love animals and am currently a sponsor.

Prior to anything above, I'll most likely hide out for a few months and not tell anyone where I am until I get things in order. Well, only a few folks that I "truly" trust will know. I don't want certain people coming out of the woodwork trying to be my friend and shit looking for handouts. So be nice to me and maybe, just maybe I'll give you a little somethin', somethin'...But that's after I interrogate you. :quickdraw:

[Darth Denkay]

As a rule I generally don't access any networking sites at work, unless there is something very specific I'm trying to follow. I share an office with several folks and my computer screen is visible to others in the room. At this point, however, I will not access BFP from work at all. It means I'm not active much, but I won't go on a site with the word "Fuckery" on every page. Prior to that I was very selective about logging on at work but I would on occasion; now I simply won't.

[Soon]

I Wish!
:canadian:

[Kätzchen]

No, I do not..... our work campus is surveillanced electronically, so I limit my own electronic activities, accordingly. I like to keep the scale of my 'footprint' as small as possible.

[*Anya*]

I would never use my work computer for anything personal!

Our network is government-related.

I am also just too busy to do anything personal and secondly, I am sure that it has layer upon layer of security.

I would rather not find out for sure!

I don't even answer my personal phone while @ work.

[girl_dee]

yes but from my iPhone usually between things or at lunch

[nanners]

Never from a company computer. Ever. They watch us like hawks....I'm not going to be the one they make an example of. I do however use my iPhone when on breaks, lunch or when waiting for something.

[Gayandgray]

I use my iPhone on my breaks.:hangloose::hangloose:

[VintageFemme]

Yes, but on my iPad not my work computer. Not that I couldn't but it's my choice to use my work computer for, work. I don't usually have a lot of time to play on BFP during work hours, but I will pop in from time to time to catch up.

[JDeere]

I voted other, when I was working, I would visit bfp on my cell phone, only.

[dark_crystal]

I totally get on BFP from work. It's a government network but our IT department can't find its ass with both hands. Also i work at a library and our intellectual freedom policy says no sites can be censored, and that there is no site that might not have a valid research purpose for someone.

I am not too scared because i DID have IT pull a browsing history on my ex-ex-secretary and they had to figure out how to get it on the fly-- then when i saw it, it only showed URLS. We reprimanded her for the time-stamps but nothing else happened

[JDeere]

Yes only on break time and on my cell!!! Now that I'm working again!

[imperfect_cupcake]

No. I cannot FB, websurf, text, IM, or call anyone at work. I think my patients might get pissed off about that.
