So I moved cubicles at work today. I’ve been moved closer to the group of people I’ve been working with. This makes slacking off a tad more difficult. I had to scope out my new cube and determine which positioning of my computer monitor would allow the least amount of people to see it when they walk or enter my cubicle.
As you may or may not know, this is a delicate art. You can’t make it too obvious that your monitor is completely facing an awkward direction. Then people will only become more suspicious. But monitor privacy is essential in the workplace so you need to give up a little comfort to have the privacy necessary to slack off.
On second thought, I suppose hanging my monitor from the ceiling is a bit too suspicious.

HA! I know exactly what you mean. I ended up moving the desk around in my office so that my monitor wouldn’t face the door. It’s hard work to be a slacker.

I never slack off at work.

having an office makes that nice. I’ve got my desk facing the door, so I have plenty of time to shrink anything down when someone enters.
Monitor on the ceiling? Hmmm, I think you’dhave to turn in your chair for a chaise lounge as well, eh?

it’s all too familiar to me. Ppl have made fun of the fact that my monitor faces away from me at 45 degree angle. I actually don’t care if I get busted slacking…I just don’t want the person behind to see what I’m working on.

Suuure Craig, that’s how you got that crink in your neck. *wink*
