Today, I stepped away from my desk for a few minutes only to return to find the general manager installing updates on my computer. This wouldn't have been an issue had I not pulled up a website explaining in great detail the effects and causes of vaginal yeast infections. FML

Today, I was talking to my new boss while on speakerphone. Then, my sister yelled for me, asking me to check whether she had a yeast infection or not. FML

Today, I'm in my third week at a new job. Using an online service our company recommends, I accidentally downloaded a virus that is now working its way through our website, randomly sending our customers Viagra ads via our email. I personally had to tell the founder of the company. FML

Today, I went to see my gynecologist. She was writing my symptoms up in my chart on her computer. After a little while, I noticed that she had a confused look on her face and was reading something instead. When I took a peek at the computer screen, I saw that she was Googling my symptoms. FML

Today, while at work, I cringed as I noticed my caveman colleague frantically digging into his nose and then continuing the use of his computer. I work in IT support and will be rebuilding his computer and reinstalling all his applications in 30 minutes time. FML

Today, discovered that all the viruses I have gotten on my computer at work haven't been from anything I've done, but because my boss has secretly been using it after hours to download or watch porn so he wouldn't risk getting a virus on his own computer. I've lost 3 major projects due to this. FML

Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML

Today, I had to explain to my boss that using a wired connection instead of wifi won't stop his computer from getting viruses. He looked at me, open-mouthed and wide-eyed, like he was a 13-year-old boy and I was a pair of tits. Then he called me clueless and told me to get back to work. FML

Today, I learned my boss, the CEO of a multinational nonprofit, is so computer illiterate that he hadn't realized he could resize the File Explorer window on his computer, leading to days of delay of him getting work to my team, and a lot of unhappy notes. FML

Today, I was on a conference call and digital meeting at work when I got bored and started surfing the Internet. Little did I know that my desktop was being shared. My boss was on the call and saw everything. FML

That's why you look up this stuff at home instead of the work computer. Saves yourself the embarrassment and the possibility of getting busted for improper use of work equipment.

Because closing it when you stepped away would just be ridiculous...

Work is for work. Research that on your own time.

ever heard of locking your screen :/ it's a company policy in most places for security purposes. :s

Um why would you even research that at work? That makes no sense at all. Take your laptop with you if you want to but don't use company's computer for that! Seriously...

Use your personal computer for that YDI for wasting time at work

Even better, he brought up the buy.com page showing you where to get a good deal on a breadmaker, and a note that said, "If you don't have sourdough, let's get a drink after work."

So i'm guessing none of you have ever had a yeast infection? :) If you have one, and its serious - you'd NEED to look it up at work. Any kind of home remedy you can quickly do to ease it off is worth while looking up at work FYL :)

Totally disagree with NEEDING to look it up at work. No wonder my computer at work is so slow, the server is busy pulling up your info on your yeast infection!! If it is THAT bad that it "can't wait", time for a doctor appointment. Now, get back to work!

I don't know... Sometimes I feel a great NEED to google image 'raging yeast infection' while at work. Come to think of it, maybe that's why my coworkers have been calling me 'thrush mouth' for months.
