This. Its not a problem until someone is looking to get rid of you. Then they dump the logs.

I've seen people fired for watching DVDs at work. Conversly people watching youtube a lot and nothing happening. Early in the web days an admin assistant came to me because they clicked on something on the web and a bunch of pron windows started popping up. She panicked and turned off her computer and was wondering if it was safe to turn back on or would she be fired. It was safe, and nothing happened to her.

Someone at a job complained I was reading the news on the web to my boss, when that was my habit at lunch. That was fun.

I think the rule is people usually don't care unless it hits them directly at which point it is already game over.

I am not super religious about, but I do have boundaries. It is mostly like you said. It is all great until it isn't and employer is building a case against you.
