I always drew the line at fic at work. News, entertainment blogs, sure, but nothing pornographic, no fanfic, no LJ. Some places use real-time caching or monitoring so it doesn't matter if you clear the cache of pictures or the browser history. Not worth risking your job over.

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Just curious: how is looking at entertainment blogs different than reading fic? (Assuming this is gen fic; I can easily see the difference between entertainment blogs and porn.) It's still something your employer isn't paying you to do.

[clarice.livejournal.com]

Depends on the office, of course. Fic is both weirder and less socially acceptable and looks like a bigger distraction than a newsfeed, like reading a tabloid headline versus reading a novel at work. The last place I worked didn't care what I did when I didn't have something specific to do, but I avoided doing anything that could be difficult or awkward to explain--i.e. I missed the warning on that fic, or that G-rated fic is hosted on an LJ that also has NC-17 stuff and my boss happened to look at the source page. Obviously, YMMV, but I never wanted to be in the very awkward position of explaining fanfic to my 50-year-old male boss. It's just not professional, and reading NYT or movie blogs never carried that risk. If I'm not absolutely positive I would show it to my grandma, I'm not going to look at it at work. Just my personal work/fandom risk calculus.

[imati-lau.livejournal.com]

THIS.

I read mostly newpapers and Wikipedia for fun at work (kinda lame I know), but I prefer to entertain myself with generic pages than having to explain to my boss why I'm reading NC-17 stories about children videogame characters. The closest thing I do to reading fanish things at work is reading any comments I receive from LJ or Deviantart, and I only do that from my iPod, on my lunch hour.

I used to read my agregator account for some of my comms, but I got nervous thinking I might have been watched and I stopped doing that.

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

I know I'd always forget to clear the cache, which is why I use Opera Portable at work for fic reading and other fandom-related stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel so stupid whenever people talk about slacking off like this at work. If you have a nice enough job where you can use the Internet, why the hell would you jeopardize it by slacking off and reading fanfic? How do you even have time?

[salukfan.livejournal.com]

Depends on the job. I work technical support and it's really easy to browse fic or LJ or whatever either between calls (we're dead at night) or even on calls, when I'm waiting for a customer's computer to reboot or something.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a part time job on my campus - my job is schedule appointments, and we get five calls a day tops.
And considering I'm in my own office with a supervisor who barely knows how to use a computer, let alone monitor one, I think I'm safe.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I think it's because I've never had a job that used a computer, when someone says they use a computer at work, my mind immediately goes to some important office business type job.

[(Anonymous)]

Not all jobs where you can use the internet are nice, unfortunately. I made more per hour at my high school job. :\

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

I replied with one example the last time a post like this came up, but there are more: jobs out there where your employer doesn't care if you spend some of your down time on the internet do exist. Like tech support, security (some security guards even watch tv or read between rounds), night auditing. I even caught the night nursing staff doing it while I visited a friend of mine after surgery - he told me "oh they don't mind as long as it's between rounds and there are no emergencies".

tl;dr not everyone is jeopardizing their job.

[gethenian.livejournal.com]

Dude. In down-time, some days I have nothing BUT time. So yeah, I get to flake off a little.

The trade-off is that when we DO have work, I work 12+ hours a day, OR until I have to leave to go to class.

RPing at work is not jeopardizing my job when my boss has been playing Bookworm for the past 2 hours, hokay.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

My job is not strictly 9-5 in either hours or type of work. I do a lot of work at home on weekends too, and it's a creative job, so I do need a break occasionally to stir up my brain. Fandom provides a break in short bursts.

[honestys-easy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same here, except replace "coworker reading fic" with "coworker looking up things like 'micropenis' in google history," and "ok" with "horrifically creeped out."

[fireholly.livejournal.com]

..../laughs forever

I'm so sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

Hahaha, that sound like something I would do.

[marisahsaaaa.livejournal.com]

Does she read anything good?

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, seriously. I clear it EVERY day at work. I don't think my bosses would find Dean/Castiel porn particularly germane to economics. >____> But hey, do you at least read the same fandoms?

[twyla-hime.livejournal.com]

That's a funny coincidence.

[omorka.livejournal.com]

Rule #1: Don't be a goof-off on the Internet at work.

Rule #2: If you're going to be a goof-off on the Internet at work, for the love of the gods, use the guest login.

[madonnalal.livejournal.com]

Totally found out that one of the other workers on our shared computer was reading Twilight fanfic at work. I lol'd forever.

[(Anonymous)]

This is...kind of pathetic. I'd keep work and fandom apart to avoiding a sacking.
