Yes. Pick somewhere you'd think would be cool, pack your $hit, and move there. Live in a cheap motel for a week until you find someone who needs a roommate, then start living.biggins said:
If you don't like it, you can go somewhere else. You can *always* go back, but where's the adventure in that?

Put a sniffer on his PC's port on the switch? Then they'll get *EVERYTHING* transmitted to/from his computer. It doesn't take much to do..........golgiaparatus said:
-S.S.-

If they knew you were biggins - me thinks that someone ratted you out. A supposed friend. They can tie cookies to you, but I don't know what would say biggins, but I am not a code guy either, so it could be in there.
Its super easy to capture everthing you do / type / websites you visit / programs you use / etc
BUT, why would a company not fire someone that goofs off most of the day, especially someone that hates their job and probably has a really crappy attitude
suck it up dide - it was your own fault

did someone provide the info for them? did someone on here do it? See i dont know how else they would get lists of just my postings, name and all. unless every time i sent a post it was routed somewhere else. However the top of the page had the RM logo and everything on it. It looked like a thread just with my posts only in it.
Hmm, took me me 30 seconds to find this and its only $40,

loco, that's absurd. Do you know how easy it is for a system admit to snoop around on what goes in and out of his or her network?
Every time you hit that "Submit" button, the contents of your post gets sent out of your computer, through the network, to Ridemonkey. It can be intercepted any one of a dozen places along the way. Other options include a keystroke logger on your computer, or the network guy could simply log onto your account and call up Ridemonkey.com, and see the "Hello, biggins" login right at the top of the screen.
Don't get paranoid. They were clearly looking for a reason to fire you, and that was their easiest option. I'm sure they would have come up with something else, if not that.
Hey... 6000 posts.
Damn dude, that was pretty harsh for someone with 4,000 posts.douglas said:

True - BV - I am in denial from my screwing around. Sorry
once they find out your username... which they could do any number of ways (keystroke recorder, admin login, etc..) all they have to do is go to the advanced search page and plug your name in the "search for username" field. voila, every post by biggins is displayed...
The way corporate internets work (as opposed to home setups), is they use a proxy server. Your work pc requests a page through the proxy server, and then proxy server goes out to the internet and gets it and returns it back to the requesting pc.
Every internet request goes through the proxy server. URL's are easily monitored or blocked (without an URL, you can't get a page). Depending on how powerful is your proxy server, text can be scanned. Also the amount of data is downloaded is usually measured.
With large companies, it is impossible to keep tabs on all employees, so proxy server monitoring is the only way to do it efficiently. I remember a co-worker asked me how to bypass the proxy server. I told him to use a secure shell tunnel, but I told him that anyone monitoring would notice this. Sure enough, they caught him downloading porn (the ssh tunnel hides what you are doing, but cannot hide how much data you download). He had download so much data, it was suspected he a bot grab porn 24 hours a day for weeks.

You were also probably going through a proxy server and something like Websense that logs everyones traffic. As stated above, it's easy to track what someone is viewing on the internet.

Getting let go totally sucks Ive worked at two places that I was let go from both were not from production or work performance but because they were just looking for an excuse to clean house is all. Ive worked at places that total dumbasses got fired for surfing porn and stupid stuff like that. At the brokerage firm that Im at now it seems that Im the only one NOT surfing porn or in 4 different chat rooms or the instant messenger stuff. I just do the eBay, drudge report, mtb forums, velo news, drive by then Im done.
Anyway I suggest you dont let the grass grow on finding another job make finding a new job your NEW full time job. Because the longer you just sit around and get pissed about your situation the harder it will be for you to get into the right mental state of job hunting.
Its imperative that you keep yourself busy and positive because when you do get an interview you gotta sell yourself and your body language will give you away. And here is a tip when talking about compensation never tell them what your willing to work for who ever give up a number first is in the position of weakness when Negoation salary or pay.
When asked about what you would work for come back with what does this position pay or something like that always make them give a number first. Anyway good luck and look at your situation as a new beginning and your going on to something better.

Also, be a truck driver. Mmm. Dirty rest stop sex...
Truck driving wouldn't be a bad gig.... after you buy your own rig you could live wherever you wanted to....biggins said:

Biggins, sorry to hear this man, what a load of F'N CRAP.
Unless you have a written contract saying otherwise, your employment was most likely at-will, meaning you could be fired for any reason or no reason, at any time. They don't need a reason as long as they're not firing you because of race, sex, etc. (BTW, this is pretty much true for everyone.)
Sounds like there's another reason and I think it's lame for them to bring your little RM habit into it. They should just tell you the real deal.
Oh well. Enough people have already hit you with the cliches about how you are better off somewhere else, etc., so I won't repeat.
But look at it this way: Now you've got lots of time for RM!! (Sorry about that, couldn't resist.)

I did it for a few years. Packed my bike and snowboard and had a great time. I averaged about 50 grand a year, which isnt too bad to travel and see some country.
Never the same day twice and you will have tons of interesting stories in a very short time. Drive flatbed though, they get the most interesting loads and pay the best.
Heres a shot I took back in the day hauling counterweights out of Palm springs.

This works as a good answer as well...Hello Kitty said:
"I am sure your company offers a competitive salary for [insert job description here] and I am sure I can give you a good return on your investment in me."
However this answer requires you to do some research prior to your interview. You better know what a competitive salary is in your area.
