I work at a Public Library. We are actually encouraged to surf the net. Knowing how and where to find information is what we're all about.

I work for this boutique financier (not financing boutiques...)- as you can imagine in the current environment, business is slow, so "surf's up"...
The boss is a real hard-head, so I have to watch out for him....

These days they could plant a camera on the end of your nose and you'd never even know it.

Any company with an appreciable number of computers on the internet probably has background software logging every click you make. We do. How's that for creating paranoia?!

That's why in my previous working place I had an ecnrypted tunnel going to my server, and from there - to the internet, all they could see is my tunnel, not where I go to or what I do
