And that leads me to my next thought...if I make grammar errors in my posts, will people jump all over me? I'm nervous because I type fast, and then I'll often hit "save" and see the mistake after the fact...which I know as a writer I should be more careful of, but you know, social media and rush, rush, rush...

![]() There's a preview post button right next to the submit button and you can see what your post looks like before posting it. Also there's an edit button, so if you make a mistake after posting it you can always change it. No worries. ![]() oh, and to AW!

A lot of companies have zero tolerance on using work computers for personal use however, that is not all that you need to check into. Some companies specify in the staff contracts word specific (thou shalt not use company computers for personal pleasure or gain, nor gain employment in other areas while working for The Company) In Australia and the US the laws are very specific that every time you log on, they need to tell you that the computer and all content is theirs. If they don't do that you are safe, it's your content. Also, the law states that your email account for the company is yours for work use however, because you "own" the password protection for it, and you supplied the password, you are within your rights to assume the content is yours and is addressed to you. If it has your name on in, eg myname@thecompany.co then it gives another reason for assumption it is your privacy. The facts are there are many grey areas here, and many companies have spent many many years with lawyers trying to sort this all out but have yet to convince the law that infringing on a persons privacy because they work for you is legal. (I used to run a pretty big multinational IT dept operating in the US and AU, we come across these issues more often than you would think) Last edited by David Allan Williams; 07-18-2012 at 09:59 AM. |

Oh, I found that button right away. It's probably a bad thing to have for someone like me who is always re-reading and fiddling, but for some reason, I'm guessing I'm probably not alone here.

At this time of day, I just need coffee. Like, tons of it. Liters. Gallons.
Oh, and a bed would be nice too. Only if I had the bed, I wouldn't want the coffee. So... yeah. Coffee. ![]()

Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke.
![]() Radio station ruined the moment...next song just sucks! Okay, it's a decent song, but doesn't compare! You know that feeling? You're grooving one moment and then they put some thing on and you go "ugh, really, now?" and then the whine "Why? Why?!" Yep, that moment. Good day, y'all!

I totally understand, though perhaps not that word
![]() Working on my kids 5th bday party...it's in November but might as well start now! I love that he actually thought of a theme he wants! Robots! I love my kid. Now I'm planning it around robots and compiling a list of movies that are family-oriented, that the old and young could both enjoy. Fun times!

Sounds awesome, Greeny.
![]() I need music in my life, badly, but I don't usually listen to the radio - too many voices.
