Yep. I'm sneaking off to the toilets every 5 minutes to check the current funding levels on the Kickstarter site on my phone, so nobody sees me messing on my phone (or using work's internet for my personal use).

If anybody asks me, I just tell them I have a combination of irritable bowel syndrome and a urine infection.

Hahaha, I guess the timing of the announcement may have been wrong for some since it's just become a necessity to go on KS or some other tidbid news revolving around Shenmue 3, as for the others, it is a perfect time.

At my job there is a decent amount of down time. So I can screw around looking at Shenmue stuff without it really affecting anything. Not only that none of our activity is monitored so I got nothing to worry about.

My company definitely monitors what we view online. I don't think they do it actively. Just if they're having problems with some people being on Facebook. They've only confronted one person I know of but that's because she wasn't doing her job. I do my job and keep any personal browsing to a minimum once my work is done. My direct boss is the president and owner of the company so he knows I do my work.

For where I'm at there isn't the equipment to do it and no one wants to do it. Its a government contract so the company has no intention of making any investment it doesn't need to. Its all about the results where I work, its pretty obvious when people aren't doing their jobs.

Nope, as long as it doesn't affect our performance it doesn't matter. It's pretty much all about common sense. We are allowed to use internet at work.

I wouldn't be worried. Once confronted, your only reply should be "Shenmue 3"... immediately followed by a tornado kick.

If caught, I would explain what Shenmue is, why it is more important than work, and why they should donate, too.=)
