New sources of embarrassment in the tech age

[The AD]

I was in a Webex conference today and realized web conferences open a whole new world for potential embarrassment. Specifically when someone is sharing their desktop and they get something like an instant message or the little window that pops up when you get a new email in Outlook. I don't know if I've ever witnessed anything too funny yet, but it's just a matter of time. Anyone have any good stories?

I used to send my co-worker IM's with the text formatted to huge when I knew our boss was in his office, talking with him. Stuff like "Let's go hit Pascucci with the petty cash you pocketed yesterday."

I always clear my browsing history prior to entering a web conference if I'm going to share my desktop, you know, to hide the porn trail.

Oh yeah! Just last week I had my cpu hooked up to the projector with our MX GM and another dude. A new email from my friend popped right up talkin' about smokin' and killing ducks over the weekend. Fortunately, I work in a pretty tolerant workplace. But I can imagine if I didn't, I'd be screwed.
