#3Reminds me of a past job 14~ years ago, I was in SAP and spreadhseets pretty much all day so I made my MIRC wallpaper an SAP window and had the font and colors set up similar so if someone snuck up it looked like I was just looking at SAP and I could casually minimize the active chat window.
Similarly I would read Project Gutenberg titles at that job by opening then in notepad and then copy pasting sections into an outlook draft.
AT my current job I could probably get away with playing a MUD, I'm in AS400 terminal windows all day so I could sit there with CMUD on a monitor and no one would have a clue unless they came up and actually read the window (Edit: and actually when I first started here sometimes I'd open a CMD and watch telnet Star Wars).

My old employer blocked Netflix though. I didn't want to watch movies, but they had some interesting looking machine learning blog articles that I couldn't read

By using green instead of white as a termainl color, you can do almost anything (Lynx, MUD, IRC...) and people think it's an AS400 window.

I remember back in the 90's there were some pretty high-profile computer games that had "boss keys" where you could smack F1 or something and the game would pause and the screen would show a spreadsheet.
Can anyone remember any of them?

#10I get it.
If you need this you have a bullshit job.
Go read David Graeber's book «Bullshit Jobs».
At my last bullshit job I programmed for my hobby projects on the job. Nobody was the any wiser.
