I read all of these stories about internet "misuse" and can't help but grin. Where I work part-time has the most ludicrously lackadaisical internet policy known to man. We're a hardware shop and have 6 computers. Three are used to serve customers with and answer queries, two are in the office and there's a sixth tucked away in the corner of the shop (which is pretty huge) for god knows what reason. I think it was originally designed as some sort of self-service station, but that idea quickly went out the window.
Anyway, I was working in this particular shop for most of the summer, and as happens to all people who work a particularly boring job, I decided to head onto the internet on this "hidden" computer. When I had finished browsing Barbelith and Outpost Gallifrey, I decided to check the history files, just to see what my co-workers browse. There were some pretty appalling things in there, from websites that featured bestiality to websites whose titles indicated some other fairly ghastly stuff that I just don't want to get into.
A part of me finds it absolutely hilarious that these morons don't delete their history on a terminal that contains file history that could potentially get them in a lot of trouble with the law and if anybody senior at the company found out, it would cost them their job. So..browsing b3ta is fairly tame, and the fact that your job is being threatened because of it is mind-boggling.
Oh, I also have an urrgh-fuck for today. I was heading to the local comic shop this afternoon to get this week's 52 and when I arrived I was greeted by a fairly irritating sight. Turns out that the shop isn't going to sell comics anymore, instead focusing on shitty figurines and tabletop wargaming. ARRGH! |
