Yup.... 2½ summer vacation sure is nice.

 

[Gef]

I got dual monitors, I usually have a website (forums normally) open on the left one and UltraEdit/Photoshop open on the right one. So it always looks like I'm doing work anyway

 

[old.Normengast]

hehe

I chose to sit with my face to the door so i can see when someone enters

 

[old.cerebus]

Employee magic :

Alt + Tab

(It takes 0.1 seconds to do and it saves lives)

Absolutely nothing, my boss doesn't mind as long as there are no emergencies to deal with....ah the life of an IT support technician

Except occasionally I left the computer on and went to do work.

Mines off sick today so no worries.

Think he's scared on my Smite though so doubt he'd say much even if he was here.

Well you know you have the right job when:

You say: Sorry boss, i have to leave early today, i have an appointment at the dentist.

He replies: Yes i know! My guild is in the alliance and we are coming on the relic raid as well.






Here comes the cow

 

[old.Normengast]

hehe

Wouldn't it be cool is your boss was just newly hooked to the game and you help him out by giving him free stuff, money, advice and some powerlevelling with your uber char. He doesn't dare to say something at work cos you're helping him out every time

there i go dreaming again...

 

[Khalen]

Luckily I sit with my face toward the door opening as well So I have another program open or word file to do a quick ALT-TAB

 

[[PS]Fool]

When i am a boss of some uber large company, i am going to remove the alt and tab keys from all my keyboards

 

[old.The McScrooges]

I think this thread should be moved to the Technical support forum.

Before I used to use the toolbar, but alt-tab is so much quicker.

This is community spirit, helping a fellow gamer loaf.

Start-L = Lock workstation and then go do some stuff somewhere else. Like errrr check a server or summit

Only admin can then login and that wipes whatever I was looking at

 

[danskmacabre]

Since I'm a SysAdmin, no probs here

 

[old.Tohtori]

Quickly fire up DaoC. He really, really really doesn't like me wasting time on the boards...and i'm SERIOUS. He just comes to the room and yells "Oh come on! GEt into the game allready so i can trade!"

 

[Tasans]

When i worked at a web design company every pc had quake arena, so after a long day work we could have lan frag-fest...

Bring in the cow

 

[big_b]

I've been praying every night that i have a long lost relative that is SUPER! rich and has left all their cash to me so i never have to work again and just sit at home playing on games, watching T.V, and eating all day boy what a life that would be

 

[old.Bowen]

I try to explain what DAOC is all about to him but he just takes the p!$$ and says I need to get out more

 

[Jiggs]

I am the boss hehe my problem is employees wondering what the heck i am laughing at.....

Thanks, didn't know that shortcut before, can come in handy

 

[old.Azrak]

*coughs* I am the boss, so I have to make sure I can't see what I'm looking at (and give myself a good ticking off if I catch me doing it)

 

[Takhasis]

Me's the head network techy too including internet access monitoring,,,

Hence the fact that all the daoc sites are blocked for all users apart from me - hehehe

Damn i'm good
