My boss might come in tommorrow.... But that comic looks exactly like working at a call center.... some people even had little mirrors on their monitor so they could see someone walk up from behind! *L*

Work isn't neccessary. Why do you think unemployment exists? *L*

it exists for those who themselves to the bone to pay in, and a bunch of worthless A holes to draw from it for years on end

I purposely set my computer at an awkward angle so no one can see it until I have time to exit out of whatever is on my screen. Usually the forum.

I have my screen setup the same way.... all I have to watch for is when I have the shade up I have a huge bay window behind me.....and remember hold the windows key and press the letter "M" and everything on your screen minimizes, then just pull up your email and you look busy....

That's good info.
What I normally do is hold the "alt" key and press the "tab" key to go to the previous screen.
Actually because of so many options on the keyboard, I seldomly use the mouse.

LOL .... sirnasty FTW with the windows + M shortcut! I only knew 2 functions for that button, explorer and the start menu. Now I know 3! My office is fully open and anyone can see what's on my monitor. Most people here don't really know what I do so they don't ask. I'm an engineer in an architect/project office. There are about 8 or 9 firms represented where I work! Very laid back!

Nice! I like the Windows+M as well as the Alt+tab methods!
I have a window behind me too. Usually the shades are down though. There is a lake back there anyway so there is seldom anyone back there besides a few fishermen. There used to be a 6 or 7 ft gator that lived in there, but I haven't seen him in a year or two.

LOL @ Mississippi wildlife!!! They say there are gators in the NYC sewers! From the 18th floor, I'd be surprised, then confused if someone were looking in our windows!

As long as none are walking on the surface of the water, you should be OK.
This thread reminds me of a joke I heard many years ago.
The Pope and his entourage are in one of the vast upper rooms of the Vatican that overlooks St. Peter's square.
The Pope is standing in front of one of the room's many large windows, while the rest of the Cardinals and Archbishops are lounging around, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes.
The Pope casually turns and looks out the window - gazing down at the mass of adoring pilgrims.
All of a sudden, he spots Jesus walking through the crowd just below the window toward the building.
Pushing his face right up against the window to get a better look, the Pope sees The Lord walk right past the seemingly oblivious guards and right through the building's main entrance.
With a very concerned look on his face, the Pope immediately turns around and shouts to his large entourage - "Quick, look busy!"

I see... you have the fancy office! Bigwig in the house! J/k at least you have a view, I've just got a good look at some boats sitting on thier trailers.
