        Use your phone whenever you need to look something up and consider an exit strategy of relations become more strained.

        I haven't even got internet access in my current contract and really can't be bothered to fill in the forms to do it!

            No! Really? Uri Geller is not much more than a conjurer? I cannot believe I read that!!!!

              I had exactly the same issue recently. Was taken into a room for a "chat" about my time keeping because I came in the office at 10:15 one day. My daughter was ill. It was also mentioned that I'm in the internet and on a contractor website looking for other jobs. Even I'm not that stupid. My manager couldn't give a toss but had to have the chat worth me because Permie X is watching me like a hawk.

                Depends on what sites your looking at.
                I've been caught on a torrent site and the manager said "hey can you download me this movie as im not sure how to do it"

                  Some clients have an usage policy which forbids doing this.

                  Of course, it's quite difficult to detect and block it....

                      I imagine any company which HAS an internet policy forbids this!
