Posting & Reading on PRE at Work!!

[B1 and B2]

Seriously is there a better way that B1 and B2 should know about:

Posting & Reading on PRE at Work!!

We have this small problem whenever we take time to read or post our Boss (Slippers) seems to walk through..

To avoid been caught all the time the bananas copy and paste posts and read in OUTLOOK.. It works but a pain in the arse!

With colors BLACK & YELLOW the PRE site is hard too keep open on screen and we cannot make the window any smaller..

So we ask is there a better way we can go about it??

Can we change site color or remove all images?
Can we somehow make it look like an excel Sheet?
Anything? Give us something?

Sure can! I changed my theme on my profile so when I post at work it's not obvious.

Go to the "profile" tab
>"Account settings"
>>"Modify profile" tab
>>>The third option on the dropdown should be "look and layout"

Then you will see the option change theme, and there are about 4 to choose from.


EDIT: I use the "curve" theme.

easy bananas.

open two windows. 1= PRE, 2= a site that will impress the pants off slippers. Your core business perhaps.

when slippers approaches, a simple click of the tab and you are on task. Slippers passes and you are back to the important stuff.

The online IKEA catalogue seems to work well as a foil with my wife. After a near miss, I will throw in a "darling, a Bloorf would look great in our bathroom" just for effect.

I'm lucky I have 2 monitors at work so I have my real work on monitor one and some open document on monitor 2 then I have PRE on on Internet explorer dragged half way down the second monitor so it can't be easily seen.

as stated above ^^

Apple(command) + Tab is my best friend !

I too have this luxury.

Damn handy bit of advice. Cheers!

Hey thanks, this is good too. Takes the "black" out of the page which always looked obvious!

Yes all good with the suggestions but it's when you are fully focused on PRE and you forget whats around you..

Then BANG!! Slippers is right behind you talking to a client and you cannot flick screens because it makes it worse, he's seem you and then you flick.

Bananas want to post FREE of slippers worry.. I want to be able to post and read and he thinks I'm working away on the company project...

Bananas have been caught a few times and we now many face internet closure to the whole floor.. This is really all B1s fault..

Thanks B2

you need a job in a gen Y ad firm bananas. They'de encourage you to be on PRE for your creativity AND theyde have a big bwl of m&m's in the corner. Slippers has your measure im afraid.

I've been known to post text into notepad to read somewhat discreetly.. you can also compose replies and just paste back in to PRE

 

[uhuh uhuh]

I have have just selected curve profile gold...

If work gets in the way of posting and reading on PRE it's time to snatch the job. Not good enough!
