busted...

Somebody posted something on here a while ago about people IRL knowing you're on this board.  So at work we have our nurse's station which has about 6 computers.  We all use the computers.  So today I'm scrolling through a post and chrisnjay's picture goes by and a girl sitting near me goes, "oh who is that? do you know her?" LOL  I was like umm...she's from a message board I'm on....

So, totally busted with the board thing.  I was scrolling through another post a month ago on GP and there was a picture of a cat in someone's siggy and another girl goes, "oh, petfinder!" haha, um no.

And then another girl later was like, "what's the nest?"  How exactly do you describe that?? LOL.  Maybe I should stop nesting at work since I don't have the privacy of an office.

  • Tell her it's for something that's completely nerdy that no one would want to join.  Like a math club (sorry all you Mathletes out there!) or a comic book convention thing....

  • I had a post up one day last week and before I could minimize it our Service Supervisor saw it but I don't think he realized what it was.

  • I've had people walk in my office while I'm in mid-response to a post.  Luckily, my computer screen faces away from the door so I can quickly click to another tab.  What sucks is when I just leave the nest up on the screen while I'm doing something else (filing, or something) and then someone walks in and I have to try to block the computer screen like I'm hiding someone from the paparazzi until I can get the window minimized!!!

  • hahaha sometimes I get called to a room in the middle of typing a response and have to minimize the screen and pray someone doesn't take the computer I'm using.

    Unfortuneatly I was moved from my private office in the back to the front desk almost a year ago. Thankfully I have two computer screens so I keep the nest on the one that you can't directly see. I still minimize it though when someone walks up here because I never know if they're going to walk behind my desk or not (and they usually do).

  • Open office layout here... I love Firefox's multiple tabs. :) I always, always pull up a scholarly-looking tab before I walk away from my desk. I try to scroll quickly pass all of the siggy pics and, of course, the site banner at the top...
  • hah yeah my desk faces into a corner of our office, so my screen is visible pretty much anywhere in the room. Obnoxious!!! My co-worker knows I'm on the nest a lot... cuz she sees me haha. Oops :)
