Well, it's fun.
When I was doing desktop computer support at a previous employer, we used a tool called Apple Network Assistant to remotely access, view, and control other people's Macs. You know that disclaimer on your work computer or in the employee manual that says that your computer usage may be monitored? Yeah.
So, one employee was raising a fuss because he said his computer just wouldn't work for him. We were suspicious, as we had evidence that he had done things like trying to install Windows programs on his Mac. Rather than have someone stand beside his desk in case something went wrong (which was something that came up during a meeting with his boss), another tech and I watched his screen from our computers while we weren't running other support calls.
Then one day, while I was watching the guy's computer, he decides to surf to some... not safe for work content. It was a Yahoo group entitled "White Butts for Black Dudes". Now, I think that anything consenting adults do behind closed doors is just fine and dandy as long as they're comfortable with it, but... at work? Really?
The next time he had a call to which someone had to respond in person, he started telling me how he was trying to print a web page when he got the printer error message. I recited the website name (this time an actual work-related and work-safe site), and let him know that the IT group monitors everyone's web usage, and that it was very easy to track down what people were doing.
I think he may have thrown up a little in his mouth when he got what I was saying.
His help desk calls declined greatly after this.
Aaron... I don't know if you are into pin trading... but that new logo would make an awesome pin!
