Young Conservatives' Reagan calendar on the wall, Internet shortcuts to Fox, WND, Drudge, etc. You get the picture. So I'm loading software and I have nothing to do but watch little blue bars roll across the screen. I happen to see some paperwork on the desk--mortgage statement, and a bunch of other papers relating to mortgage application. This guy has an interest-only loan for well over $300k and looking to get a "government-assisted" refi! Don't know for sure--damnit Jim I'm an IT guy not a PI guy!--but I strongly suspect he's upside down.
I hope at some point in the next few days to ask him why he needs GOVERNMENT HELP to buy a house? What happened to your personal responsibility? Bootstraps broke? Hmmm?
On edit: I should clarify...I don't think this qualifies as snooping since everything was out there right in the open; I didn't have to touch a single piece of paper or do anything but look. In fact it was kind of hard to NOT see.

At the very least it gives us all an insight on your lack of moral character and your inability to do the the right thing by ignoring the personal imformation you saw.

Memo to DUmmies:I like this. :II:
If you plan on confronting co-workers on private financial or medical information that they didn't intend for you to find out, expect a not-so-friendly visit from your HR manager explaining your options for COBRA coverage, etc., and a quick and quiet exit from the company property.
Oh, and termination for cause is usually going to mean no UEI for ya. Just a heads-up.
