Some risks are necessary :)

No, it's zero-trust all the way down!

not really about IT not knowing

All true, and I'm sure your IT doesn't care as long as you're not taking stupid risks

If you're going to be that deranged, at the very least be discreet

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... a folder full of photos of a sales rep's feet taken under the table at a meeting... a bookmarked playlist of adult baby porn labelled "Potential Suppliers"... I watched a modded BitTorrent client try to fake VLAN tags for unrestricted Internet access. All those moments will be lost in time, like that expensive label printer from my locked desk drawer... time to get another coffee..
