Work journaler

I am highly amused by this story:
Work Journaler

For many reasons, I think the main reason being that she went after unemployment and secondly that she was dumb enough to save it all on the work computer.

As someone who is a budding technology professional I can tell you that in terms of work computers someone is ALWAYS watching and everything you do on a work computer is always accessible to someone above you. It’s all very big brother but typically if your company owns the computer they can look at anything on it, nothing is private. And most company policies follow that rule.

Heck, yeah. I totally agree.

When I did write on my work computer (which was allowed during down time, but still) I saved my files on a USB thumb drive and they went home with me every night. Wouldn't save me if someone was keylogging, but god knows I did enough "real" typing on that job that anyone readding a keylogger would be miserable long before they got to my half-assed novel attempt.
