Okay dopers, lets see your integrity. Just how much of a thief are you? ( Only applies to those that post in the pit. ) *:: just cause I want it to be that particular question you scum balls, ::: *
Who only comes here on the bosses dime without permission?
Who only comes form work with permission?
Sometimes on break and sometimes when you are supposed to be working?
Only on breaks with permission.
Only on breaks but without permission = cheats on the company policy?
Only from home?
Only from work because you have dial-up at home and won’t come here on dial-up?
And the biggie… Who have been an total asshat to a poster about their integrity or honesty while stealing or cheating to get here to post their high moral position?
What kind of cheating, scum sucking asshats are the SDMB posters as a group?
Come on you cowards and cheats, you get all nasty and prance on your pedestals, but have you the stones to fess up about who and what you really are?
I bet there is not one with the stones to admit that they are 100% cheaters at the SDMB… There will be at least one slimy excuse or rationalization for everyone who responds or they will come only to slam the OP without giving an answer.

Lunch and breaks, when I’m allowed.
O.K., O.K., when I’m involved in a heated arguement, I peek in the Pit in between claims. But I don’t post because that would take too much time. Usually.
I come here from both work and home.
Just as I can justify posting from work by saying that I only do it when I have time and my work is finished, you can counter that any way you want depending on how high YOU want to get on the moral ground by saying that posting at all from work, whether your work is done or not is a waste of your company’s money.
Everybody’s got their lines in the sand, man. Even you.
I don’t mind answering the question, although, I’ll be interested to watch someone knock down the strawman it looks like you’re building if in fact you try to pull this shit out in a discussion over anything else.
Now, if the question was intended as a whoosh…carry on then. Nothing to see here!
My life and my job have incorporated into eachother in what can only be described as a lichenesque fashion.
If I get up at 3am to initiate a conference call to get servers restarted, or deploy an emergency bugfix to my software, I have no problems bitching about that at 3pm on The Dope the next day.
I work and play sporadically, and pretty much equally, throughout my (conscious and unconscious) existence.
I can’t remember the last week I worked only 40 hours. Some weeks it’s an awful lot more, especially if you count rotting in an airport terminal or on a Screaming Baby Airlines flight. I’m also my own boss, so I decide when and where I get online, within reason.
I’m self employed. I’ve checked with my boss, and I don’t mind if I browse the SDMB whenever I want. I’ve even given myself permission to post at will.
I can pretty much post whenever I want to at work. I do what needs doing and hang out on the dope when I can. Ain’t nobody got a problem with it, so why should you?
Oh, and since this is the pit I’ll put it this way then:
Ain’t nobody got a problem with it, so why should you, you big doo-doo head.
I get paid a salary to do a job, regardless of the number of hours involved in doing that job. My job gets done. Some days I have more time to post than others. But my job gets done and that’s all my employer cares about.
My company has a policy prohibiting personal use of the company computers.
There is no policy per se regarding using my time to surf.
My supervisor is aware that all members of my department use the Internet to surf recreationally, and has never spoken to forbid it.
He has warned certain individuals that we should not be seen surfing TOO MUCH, lest the idea that we don’t have enough work to do get around.
The only prohibition my supervisor is serious about is the prohibition against posting publicly as a representative of the company, or on the topic of the company.
I’ve been known to look at the SDMB in class when the Prof. is doing something inane that I’d really rather not be party to anyway, like show us how Myron’s Diskobolos is, “displeasing” from behind. Well, I can imagine that she made it abundantly clear, but I’ll just trust her on this one and go for the Dope.
I wouldn’t say that I “inhabit” the Pit - more like skulk in the corners once in a while, and open my mouth even less.
I’ll admit it - I’m 100% a cheater, by your definition. Yes, it’s against my company’s policy to surf the net for non-company reasons (although it’s common knowledge that everyone here does it, including the managers). And yes, I do it not only on lunch (I never take breaks, unlike everyone else I work with) but throughout the day. I make sure it’s not blatant, and that my work gets done, and that I do whatever else around here I see that needs done that I’m able to do, but it still leaves me plenty of idle time to fill. And they want me here 40 hours a week. So I surf, discreetly. I know I’m justifying it with my previous statements, but I am fully aware that I’m in the wrong. Just like I know I’m breaking the law when I choose to speed in my car.
I have no access to SDMB at work–a screen comes up that says “your administrator has blocked access to this site. If you feel you need access, please see your administrator.”
I feel I DO need access, but lack the nerve to go demand same.
They have also blocked all games and bb’s.
I am rarely able to sit down any way to read, so it’s better the temptation is not there. It does make it hard, if I am involved in a heated discussion if I work 2 days in a row, though. I get home too tired to weed thru, read and post, so my rebuttal or whatever can take 3 days to get here. <sigh>
Frankly, I am of the mind that if the work gets done–who is any employer to cavil at how it gets done (short of illegalities, mind). If Joe can do it all in 90 minutes, why shouldn’t Joe get to surf? This is probably why I wouldn’t make a good middle manager…
