That is indeed sensible.
Until recently, I did not have Internet on my desk. I am now one of the few people in the office who has an Internet-connected laptop on my desk. But even so, I daren't get b3ta on the office server-logs.

BTW: if you're accessing b3ta by IP, you probably still want to access it via many of the proxies.

I feel guilty enough
emailing people at work as it is without getting b3ta in the logs, and reading BBC news on my lunchbreak and just before I go home; were I to access b3ta I'd never get any work done, plus the boss' desk faces mine :(

As well as having internet-less desks
I either used to sit next to my boss, or now, I am in the inner edge of a 'bay' of desks where anyone can easily walk up to me and take me by surprise. Though I still occasionally browse b3ta with my iPhone, I find it either cumbersome or too distracting.

I browse on my phone on my breaks.
Costs me a fortune in data charges although I have taken to saving long gazzes to my memory card to read at my leisure!

Hate where my desk is; I can be happily doing nothing and A WILD BOSS APPEARS!

Couldn't you get a flat-rate unlimited data-plan?
Have you tried taming WILD BOSS?

Sadly it broke free of the ball.
Am looking into a bolt-on for data charges when I'm not flat broke!

Perhaps you could see if WILD BOSS is ticklish
or show it a picture of kittens.

If WILD BOSS starts purring, just rub their belly.

Wild boss likes kittehs
that could work!

Now all you need is a remote-controlled kitten
and you can watch WILD BOSS chase it round the office all day in a Benny-Hill-esque chase-scene.

Now if only there was a way to make my screen only readable by me

The problem is
if hidemyass.com turns up in my browsing history then questions will be asked. If it were called resource-management.org then I could get away with it.

Perhaps you could say
your trousers broke and you desperately want to prevent the rest of the office from seeing your bum.
