Admit it: For many of us, our work computer is a home away from home.

It seems only fair, since our home computer is typically an office away from the office. So in between typing up reports and poring over spreadsheets, we use our office PCs to keep up with our lives. We do birthday shopping, check out funny clips on YouTube and catch up with friends by email or instant message.

And often it’s just easier to accomplish certain tasks using consumer technology than using the sometimes clunky office technology our company gives us — compare Gmail with a corporate email account.

Security expert Mark Lobel of PricewaterhouseCoopers describes the most common things employees do on the internet to jeopardize company security.
There’s only one problem with what we’re doing: Our employers sometimes don’t like it. Partly, they want us to work while we’re at work. And partly, they’re afraid that what we’re doing compromises the company’s computer network — putting the company at risk in a host of ways. So they’ve asked their information-technology departments to block us from bringing our home to work.

End of story? Not so fast. To find out whether it’s possible to get around the IT departments, we asked Web experts for some advice. Specifically, we asked them to find the top 10 secrets our IT departments don’t want us to know. How to surf to blocked sites without leaving any traces, for instance, or carry on instant-message chats without having to download software.

But, to keep everybody honest, we also turned to security pros to learn just what chances we take by doing an end run around the IT department.

For hacking advice, we asked Gina Trapani, editor of Lifehacker.com1, an online guide to being more productive on the Web; Leon Ho, editor of Lifehack.org2, a blog with a similar mission; and Mark Frauenfelder, founder of the wide-ranging blog BoingBoing.net3 and editor of the do-it-yourself technology magazine Make.

To find out the risks, we talked to three experts who make a living helping IT departments make the rules and track down the rogue employees who break them. They are: John Pironti, chief information risk strategist at Amsterdam-based IT-consulting firm Getronics NV; Mark Lobel, a security expert in PricewaterhouseCoopers’s advisory practice; and Craig Schmugar, a threat researcher at security-software maker McAfee Inc.

1. HOW TO SEND GIANT FILES

The Problem: Everybody needs to email big files from time to time, everything from big marketing presentations to vacation photos. But if you send anything larger than a few megabytes, chances are you’ll get an email saying you’ve hit the company’s limit.

Companies cap the amount of data employees can send and store in email for a very simple reason: They want to avoid filling up their servers, and thus slowing them down, says messaging-research firm Osterman Research Inc., of Black Diamond, Wash. And getting your company to increase your email limit can be a convoluted process.

The Trick: Use online services such as YouSendIt Inc., SendThisFile Inc.

Working for God not only assures us of “employment” or “empolyability” or a “career” or better “carear” (as my friend Kirk refers and spells the subject) but of compensation as well. Few things take the steam out of us like the feeling that our efforts are not appreciated or that we are not appreciated or that we are being exploited on the job. Workers slough off, even sabotage the projects on which they are employed , when they sense that they are not being treated right and correctly.

What difference does it make ? This one basic principle – that our work serves God – has staggering implications .For one , it means that we do not have time to waste that ninety thousand hours that we spend on the job. They count for eternity.

The fact that we work for god also means that we need never be truly “unemployed”. Though at various times in our lives we may be out of a job that so to speak pays the bills m God presents us with opportunities every day to help take care of his creations – whether it is spending time with the elderly , tutoring children with learning disabilities , or keeping the house clean for other working members of the family. Of course you do need a way to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head. But even while you are out of an economically rewarding job , serving God in other way can still life your spirits and preserve your self respect.

Working for God not only assures us of “employment” but of compensation as well. Few thing take the steam out of us like feeling that our efforts are not appreciated or that we are being exploited or abused on the job. Workers slough off, even sabotage the projects on which they are employed on , when they sense that they are not being treated correctly and well. Welcome to life.

No matter how awful your boss is, at least he doesn’t chop off your head when you do something wrong. Nor does he ask you to wade through the sewers, handle entrails and offal, or stick your arm into the warm, cavernous bowels of large farm animals.

You think you have a heavy workload? Try working 16 hour days, 7 days a week, in a poorly ventilated factory. You’re not allowed any bathroom breaks, and if you make a mistake, you get fired. Which won’t really affect your standard of living, because your pay cheque consists of half a loaf of burnt bread. (If you’re really lucky).

Hate the fact that you spend so many hours on the road? Hey, at least you’re in a car. Not wandering dank forests on foot, constantly looking over your shoulder for traces of wild, hungry animals that want to devour you for dinner. And even though the office budgets mean that you have to fly economy, it’s still a heck of a lot better than the conditions of a sailing galley. You aren’t shackled to your seats, and no matter how bad the airline food is, at least it’s not infested with maggots. (Except of course on Karter Ultra-Budget Airlines – where they charge extra for the maggots).

Are you dealing with difficult co-workers, who refuse to follow your instructions and grumble when you ask them to meet deadlines? At least they’re not stoning you to death, feeding you to lions, or plotting with the people from the Accounting Department on how they can convince your boss to serve your head on a silver platter.

Retirement package not up to your standard? Be thankful you can even look forward to retirement. For some people, they’re lucky to be alive at the end of the day, what with charging bulls or the risk of falling four stories down a rickety chimney.

Your job isn’t as bad as you think. Not completely crap! There are many jobs out there that are much, much worse.

Some excuse that is.

Not unlike the old parable your father or grandmother told you of 10 people who cannot swim jump off a bridge into the river.

You cannot swim either – do you jump off the bridge like the other fools and malcontents ?>?

Living so far from the garden of Eden, we easily forget God's garden. He has placed us here to take care of things for him, and when we work ( no matter where it is in God's great garden) we serve the Lord. The pay that we get , the system under which we operate , the kindness of our boss - those are incidentals. You should be glad that god gave you a job and your boss and supervisor. Gratitude for that boss or manager. The basic principle is that when you serve your boss at work you are serving Christ the Lord of the Universe
