OOOOPS.... gotta get back to work.

The Virginia Department of Transportation has disciplined 86 workers for Internet misuse, including the dismissal of 15 men who used state computers to access pornography. <br><br>The VDOT employees included workers and managers, state Transportation Commissioner Philip A. Shucet told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. <br><br>While the Virginia State Police participated in the investigation, the Transportation Department does not expect any criminal prosecutions springing from the computer-use probe. <br><br>&quot;The feedback we got from the state police and the attorney general's office was that it was more appropriate to handle it administratively because there did not appear to be any criminal activity,&quot; Shucet said. <br><br>Along with the 15 who were fired, two resigned for using their taxpayer-supplied computer access to look at pornography Web sites. Sixty-one employees have been suspended without pay for two weeks for spending two hours or more in a day looking at Web sites that were not related to their work. <br><br>Eight contract workers also were fired for excessive Internet use. <br><br>Big Brother is watching............ :'( :-[<br>

Re:OOOOPS.... gotta get back to work.

Let's see. I'm supposed to be at school right now. But instead, I'm at home &quot;sick&quot;. I think I may call in sick to work today also. Haven't had a vacation in a while so i figure I'm do for one. This is the first day of school I've skipped on purpose and I could get used to it. ;D

I have to work tonight, but my job is pretty good about surfing as long as you get your work done. Anything in excess is a bad thing IMO.
