Lucky seven for 2/17 -- pix, bargains, deals, steals, giveaways and more.

Wow...Nice...wish I were still a Shark. Bill...I'll take the next antler Sarge that comes through!

I can't see the image of the Khukuris today, but could last night.
Is there a change to the web site?
What is going on?
 
the website hosting company is down...causing himalayan-imports.com to bog....


Bill - nothing we can do about it - just wait it out....
 
I was referring to the pics of the khukuris on this thread. I was afraid that my web browser went out of date.
 
Yes - that's what I'm talking about.....Bill has that pic hosted on his website...which is having difficulties this morning for some reason.

Svashtar,

You're lucky if they let you stay on the Internet waiting for UBBBs. My company internet cops would bust me if I lingered too long when it's not lunch time.

No wonder you're able to shark deals!:mad: :D

I fire up Blade Forums first thing in the morning and then open my e-mail and spreadsheets and go to work. I leave IE minimized all day usually while I work. If they don't like it they can pretty much eat me, and since I meet all my deadlines they haven't said anything. My company's big bugaboo is accessing porn sites, which is a big no-no. And the only time they will follow up on inappropriate net access is if it is clear that is all you are doing all day. So far in 2 years we have only had a couple of people with that problem.

Personally I make it clear up front during the interview process that I won't work for companies that are little police states that monitor Internet and newsgroup and phone usage. Of course, sometimes you don't have a choice...

Regards,

Norm
 
Svashtar,

I work for a large company that has Internet cops and they look for instances of what is being browsed and how long a person is spending on the Internet. They chopped a lot of long time employess for too much surfing. Many, but not all, were for surfing porn sites. It's cheaper than laying someone off because you don't get layoff benefits if you're fired. We have been warned.

That said, I have popped in and out, but can't linger.

Oh, I got the Dui Chirra yesterday.
