It has been a long morning and you positive need a mental break. You initial thinking of your weekend plans and jump on your messaging code to generate plans with a friend. You have the movie times and a chat box up on your screen and what happens, your supervisor walks up behind you! You think to yourself Murphys law is in full effect. What do you do when you get busted surfing or chatting at work? The situation all depends on how you react and handle yourself. Here are some helpful techniques/excuses you can be able to use:

1. I am looking for a job that pays more funds . (the defensive excuse)

2. Oh no! I positive need IT to come out, I have a blinking light that will not go away. (the play dumb excuse)

3. Keep your business web page minimized and maximize it fast when the boss comes by and admit you want to learn more about the company. (the cover-up!)

4. You we are investigating stuff for a surprise party you we are planning on throwing for (who ever just walked in) and now the plans are ruined, way to go! (the guilt variable )

5. I was just comforting a friend who lost a relative to bovinexctrementitis. (the compassion excuse)

6. If you are lucky enough to hear someone behind you, ctrl/alt/dlt and enter to lock the comp when the boss walks up, then immediately turn to him and initial discussing whatever project he has you working on. (the get-a-way)

7. Look happy and say "Wow, I have my answer! That chatroom (close your chat so they do not see SWM-30ish saying hi) or website solved my formatting issue. (the seriously it was work.. I swear not goofing off excuse)

8. Just leave your surfing up, know you get your work done, and just keep surfing. (the who-cares who sees, no excuse excuse!)

9. Keep AdminProf.com up and show your boss you surf useful business/work related sites! (the best excuse!)

Most of us surf and take breaks during the day. If we do our work well and apprehend it done when we are supposed to, surfing is much less an issue. Remember do not abuse surfing have fun and contruct use of the vast amount of resources on the Internet!
