Work Computers

Alright, most of us get a computer to use for work purposes.  We are meant to use it for work purposes and that's about it.  We aren't supposed to use it for personal purposes.  We all sign various agreements to that effect when we start our jobs.

Now then, what are some of the things you shouldn't put on your work computer?  Well personal financial information would be one.  Perhaps correspondence and love letters to girlfriends.  Maybe pictures of said people.  How about pornography?  Today I had the distinct pleasure of reviewing the computer files from my predecessor.  I found all of the above and this was after somebody had already deleted most of the pictures.  I found his prior tax returns, his love letters, pictures of his very young girlfriend, and pretty much anything else you can think of.

So yeah, that was my day.  I didn't want to see most of the stuff but unfortunately in order to sort it all out somebody had to.
