13 Innappropriate Uses For The Internet At My New Job! 1. Using Emoticons/Wallpaper/Screensavers. Apparantly these can give a nonprofessional look and could even be offensive to others. Okay - not everyone thinks my kids are as cute as I do so I won't turn them in to a screensaver. 2. Sending Personal E-mail. The work email is for WORK not for distributing jokes to our friends. My favorite part of this guideline is it says "sending out resumes" LOL guess finding another job is not work related. 3. Web Surfing. I wonder what I will do when the room is empty and all my paperwork is done? 4. Sending Chain Letters. Not something I normally do anyways so I think I can handle that. 5. Listening to Internet Radio. I guess this isn't very professional, could be offensive and takes up network bandwith. I don't normally listen to the radio on the computer anyways. 6. Using Instant Messengers. I guess this can open the computer up to hackers and also can reduce levels of productivity. 7. Chatting. Same as #6. 8. Playing Computer Games. This takes up too much bandwidth and once again reduces productivity. Guess I'll have to keep my Pogo at home. 9. Downloading Movies/Music. I guess this can open up the computer to viruses and all of that. Plus it uses up harddrive space and can decrease internet speed. 10. Storing Personal Data. Once again it uses storing your resume as an example. I'm wondering if there is an ongoing problem here of people looking for a new job?? 11. Generating Spam. Good thing I didn't put on my application that I once worked for a woman who did just that - she was a spammer. 12. Keeping Confidential Material Confidential. Probably why I can't send spam and all those personal emails using the things I have on the computer. 13. Destroying Equipment. Hmm so you think destroying the computer would be considered inappropriate use? Hey did anybody see anything about blogs in there? I didn't. LOL And for the record - this TT was completely composed at home. |

Well, at least it didn't say no p*rn... LOL
I did not see anything about blogging. Yeah job...blog away!
I was wondering about blogging, too. Happy TT to you...
Shoot, what can you do at work? Haha!
Do people use screensavers these days?
Last job I had there were rules against most of those things but we all did them anyway!
Why do they have the internet??? What else can you do with it??? LOL.Great List, Happy TT
Not quite the same thing but a friend of mine in a new job was required to go through lists of guidelines and policies initialing each one including many of the above and one to check his desk wasn't too shiny. There was no explanation it just couldn't be too shiny?
Great TT :-)
Wow, what do they expect you to DO all day?
Smiles,

My company actually uses an e-mail program that has IM too. I turn it off since I telecommute--my cable connection gets bogged down with so much garbage running all the time. Happy TT!
Few of those were part of something I had to sign at my new job!!! They don't mind wallpaper tho....
My company has an email program with a specific messenger (only for company members)
Can you blog?
Happy TT
Everyone is so true. SPAM? ARRGGGHHH!!
Gosh....don't they know at your company that offering the internet actually keeps you fresh and alert by causing you to multi-task?!! It's tough to look busy with actual work while you are IM'ing!!
Happy TT!
Almost sounds like my job. Man, I hate websense and I totally dont understand not being able to listen to Internet radio. Happy TT, and just know, you're not the only one;)
Hey..(when I was still working) we communicate thru msn in the office..hehee..
Hmm..at least there's no rule that says no blogging! LOL that would be a problem,eh? :D
Mine is up here;
Thursday Thirteen
Happy TT!
At least you did not say blogging:>
Eeek! That was a scary list. We chat on IM, but it's with my co-workers and it's work related.
Hop on over to mine if you'd like to get added to my TT blogroll (and you can check out my 13 immunity-boosters for the cold and flu season).

You always have to assume Big Brother is logging your keystrokes, these days. Sad, but true.
Wow, so basically your computer at work is useless! What do you do all day? :) Happy TT! Mine is 13 favorite Bible verses. I love your profile pic!

So funny, what else are you supposed to be doing at work? Great list, Happy TT!
LOL your right nothing there about blogging
Happy T13
Well if you cant play pogo at work that just sucks lol as long as your work is done who cares
Blogging is work-related!
LOL! You know, with all the prohibitions on resumes, I'd start getting a little worried about why they think people are so eager to find different jobs! :)
Sounds a little bit stiff -- much like the rules when I was in Japan. Right now, it's completely opposite. I blog from the office 99% of the time. :-)
Great to remind yourself once in a while, right? I hope you have a great first day!
I guess that's why they call it "work" - no fun at all. Cute list. See ya.
Nope, didn't see blogging mentioned on there anywhere! As I sit here at work reading T13 posts... (oops) That's a bit stricter than we've got here, although I think a lot of it is probably implied. Great list! :)
Have a great day tomorrow!
If you can't blog, then the job's NO FUN!! :)
Happy TT!
Aw man, they're no fun at all! I think you should blog and blog and blog til they implement a no blogging rule. They can call it the MomnotMum rule.
Blogs look like they are OK!
