1 stopped the nosy crap by turning off my graphics, so no pics show up and it looks more like a program and also you can peruse NSFW threads without fear

How do you do that?

I think these around $300, but 3M makes some kick-ass privacy screens.

Dude, it could be worse. I got drunk and boned a co-worker once. Try having everyone in your office find out about that.

If you have Firefox, go to "Tools/Options". When that window pops up, you can block all images from loading. You can also set the option that only images from the originating website will show up. This keeps the site looking normal, but without any outside images.

I have a convex mirror in our office at work. It's great.

Most (95%?) government bureaucracy workers are like this, especially if you're younger than them. I worked as a contractor with federales in the DOI for almost three years, and they are all about making everyone ELSE follow the rules to the hilt. We were accused of taking too many napkins from the kitchen (?) so they made us bring in our own kitchen supplies. And of course we passed that cost on to the taxpayer. We moved into a new building that had a gym, and the head woman in that entire building wouldn't let contractors use the gym for six months.

Every week was something different. Hanging out in the kitchen too much. Talking on the phone too much. Putting fans up in our cubes even though the temperature was 80 in the afternoon. Never mind that all the federales did this tenfold. Welcome to the clan.

My friend sitting right here is a DOD contractor, and he agrees. One federale that he worked with pissed everyone off so much that his boss put him in a back office and delegated all his responsibility. So this guy set up a bar in his office. Nice.

LOL, this describes it to a T.

I'm 20 years younger than at least 20 people in the office(there are about 60 of us here). I make the same wage, and am more likely to promote soon than any of the older people.
