For those new to working in the outside world.

Looking at pornography at your desk that is sitting next to a team lead is generally not good for job security. It's not good for us either because we actually could use technicians. I suppose you don't count anyway for that degree of cluelessness.

Could you at least break a bullshit rule like smoking right next to the door instead of making it one more system to clean up? Maybe get caught doing a port scan or something. Hell, even show up drunk. There's reasons that might make sense for you to lose your job in such a way that's not an obvious quit, but since you're using us for your own ends anyway, could you at least make it a little easier on us that have to do the paperwork?

ROFL. Clueless techs can be more damaging than clueless lusers =/

For a couple of months, my government I.T. job actually was to look at pornography all day.

Oh, they didn't call it that. But someone in management had decided that because our email filters were quarantining everything with an attachment, someone should continually review said attachments and release those which were work-related.

That was me.

Percentage of attachments that were work-related: 0.07%.

Percentage of attachments which were porn spam: 75%.

I was the last (until the policy was changed), but not the first in that job. They guy before me had a CD burner and used to sell "best of" compilations for five bucks a pop.
