I work in a business where I am really busy for a week out of the month and only moderately busy the rest of the time. I have always had free reign to surf the web while things are slow. Being a contract employee (1099), I am responsible for my hours and my workload. As long as my work gets done, there is no issues. Recently, a salaried employee in a branch office got caught surfing the web for days at a time instead of working. The branch office has no supervisor, but the employees are expected to get their share of the workload done, they always have until recently. My boss checked the server and sent a company-wide email stating that surfing the web on company time has to stop immediately. The boss and I are friends and I don't really want to ask him if the recent edict applies to all employees or salaried only. My question is, is there anyway to surf arfcom during the slow times and not have it show up on the server? Or, can I log off the server and connect to the web directly? I recall our IT hooked me up this way temporarily while the server was down but I had several projects I needed to finish. Any IT or tech guys know how to do that? I've got a serious ARFCOM Jones.

I assume you have a computer at home? Set up a remote desktop connection from your work pc to your home pc. start >> run >> mstsc On your home computer, you have to right click on my computer, manage, and enable remote desktop. Default port is 3389. Reboot. Enjoy. (Helps to have a static IP on your home computer or at least an IP that rarely changes). |
| I would ask the boss if you can still do it. We get edicts from above like that occasionally, and normally they're only targeted at certain people. For instance, we had one guy who would wear jeans to the office if he didn't have court, and that drove the partners nuts. Bingo, office-wide email that everyone has to be dressed for court every day. I still wear dress casual when I don't have court, because I know it was only aimed at the douchebag who wore jeans. |
