Big Brother Signs My Check

I am interested in the new procedure to track an employee's "clocked in" status. Normally I am put off by attempts to track a human and perhaps an object using RFID, but since the device is unmountable and really only is in use while you are on the premises of your job, it seems the benefits out weigh the invasion of privacy. Or maybe this is just an easy in to total world domination.

Anyway, the thing that appeals to me is being able to help people quickly and efficiently after I am technically clocked out; impossible at present for insurance reasons. Of course this will be sold to employers as a way to dock folks pay while they are goofing off. Somehow the brain waves differ when you are thinking about work and when you are thinking about fun. I am undecided about this. In one sense the employer should pay for you to be available for a certain number of hours; on the other hand it would be fun to see those slackers get docked.

Ain't it always the same, we get these notices about security such as the latest from Cnet just about every day. The trend here seems to be the phrase"malicious sites". Let me tell ya folks, I have the answer, This here website is not malicious in any way. Simply visit this site, and nothing bad will ever happen. If you like, you can post in the comments what what it is you were looking for and I will go and check it out, then report back what I saw. Your security is just that important to me.

Otherwise, just be careful out there. Don't be clicking on those random links. Know where you are going before you start. And, for goodness sakes don't just download any old thing. If the computer asks you to accept/decline then choose decline first and ask questions later. Know who to trust, and if you don't know or trust them, show them the door.
