Of Mouse Jigglers and Karma Asserting Itself
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2023 12:37 am
I found out via some IT skullduggery yesterday that one of my remote from home coworkers has "mousejiggler.exe" installed on his work laptop.
If you don't know (I had never heard of this) it's a program that makes the mouse cursor move randomly around your screen, which makes you look like you're being active and productive......what a coincidence.....this is the same guy who's internet is always down, or his power went out, or his cat spilled his beer I mean his soda on his laptop and that's totally why he didn't get shit done.
Here's a tip: If you wanna' fuck off while working from home, it's probably a bad idea to not be at least in the general vicinity of your computer.
Another tip: If you are gonna' leave the general vicinity of your computer, don't answer the phone, especially a random number. That number just might be your pissed off coworker calling you from his girlfriends phone (oh yea bro sorry my phones broke, had to borrow one) and putting you on speaker phone with your boss.
One more tip: If you find yourself in this situation, just give up. You're caught. Beg forgiveness and hope you still have a iob tomorrow. Do not, repeat, do not leave the bar you are at with 5 beers in you and attempt to drive home stammering excuses and crash your car into a ditch and end up going to jail. Getting fired will be the least of your problems.
