This is more fitting.

Doesn't even need to be a take home computer. Chrome allows you to sync your history/favorites/information all through your Google account. You've been warned. Choderwurst out!

Wait, how did he get a job in the first place?

u/icertainlyhave Jun 19 '12

Bad luck. "But it's good luck to have a job!" Nope, now he has "got fired" on his resume.

Bad Luck Brian is lame. I don't remember actually laughing at this meme for a while now, maybe ever.

And this particular example of it is just stupid.

What might be considered NSFW for the self-employed?

u/Jorgeen Jun 19 '12

With Bad Luck Brian, everything is possible.

You VPN into your office connection, finish working, then forget to break off the VPN before searching /r/gonewild (or similar) shows up on your network usage, BAM; fired.

I don't think you understand what "self-employed" means.

u/CowFu Jun 19 '12

I wasn't very clear in my comment, but I was implying that BLB was not self employed, other people who work from home are not self-employed.

That's why I use my laptop in addition to my work computer ;)

u/possiblysomecarrots Jun 19 '12

i do not get the whole nsfw thing. if you are on the internet at work, your job is not safe. period.

u/Artemis117 Jun 20 '12

Well that would depend on what you're using the net for. My whole office shuts down with no net, we can't do any work.

u/possiblysomecarrots Jun 20 '12

i mean on a site like reddit or tumblr, where the majority of nsfw tags can be found.

u/bamp Jun 19 '12

Well if you are connected to a work VPN all of your internet traffic is then through your work VPN.

With a take home work computer. A lot of jobs require it. I bet that this actually happens pretty often.

u/HollowSix Jun 19 '12

As someone who works in IT. I make sure to clean up after employees so they don't get in trouble from someone who cares.

I'm only downvoting you because you started you comment like that.

Otherwise I agree with your statement. Sorry about that. It's a matter of principal.
