So the email kinda put the fear of god into me. I have a good job and I wouldn't loose it due to this, but there is no real point attracting attention to myself in a negative way.

Today I didn't click my little BYOAC icon once. Amazing how much more work I got done. Looks like I became a slacker and didn't even realise it.

Thanks for the suggestions and info on usage (and hiding usage), but best I continue on the "good" path I have decided upon. Besides, Gozur needs a chance to catch up.

Funny though. I can't go to www.arcadecontrols.com because it is restricted, but I can do a Google search and find a forum related post then click straight into the forum from there. Just a hint for any potential slackers that have tried and failed.  ;)

At a diner at 2 A.M. alone sobering up is a good night???

Kids these days I tell you....

Bah when I was your age I had to sober up walking uphill with a blonde and a brunette under each shoulder. Now that was a good night......

Man, and you havent heard from Bill and Ted in ages.  Wankers.

Yeah, considering she was at my house having a drink on a -paid- holiday Monday, while she was telling me she's thinking of going to work as an assistant for an agent at another Broker   :-\

she wants you to have sex with her and then give her a raise.

You have the order mixed up there.  The raise comes first.

In my email box first thing this morning.  ::)

I recently sent out communication to the entire organisation regarding the
recent growth in Internet Usage.

This email is just to inform you that you are in the top 100 in terms of
the amount of data downloaded from the internet. As a I stated in my
previous email, I know much of the Internet usage is for valid business use
and it is not our intention to limit this in any way. However, I would
remind you that under the Computer Usage Policy "Personal use of the
Company's Internet resources must be kept to a minimum".

In order to manage down our costs, we will be monitoring usage and will be
informing heavy users on a monthly basis.

I would like to ask you all to carefully consider your usage of the
internet and help us to contain costs.

If you have any questions related to this, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for your consideration
                                                                   
Regards,
******

I forwarded the email to my manager with a simple comment, "You should be aware of this". He came and seen me and told me he also got one advising he was in the top 500.

It looks like it might be some type of automated email but to ignore it would be foolish.
