[QUOTE="TroubleMaker411"]Well,
The thing is, the guys i work with can see if I am online playing games by going onto the live website can't they.
All iI was wanting to do is play xbox without there being a way for my boss to find out! Because while a sick day is mine to do with as i please, When your workmates know you spent it playing games, it can cause an atmosphere if the co-workers are the right(or wrong) mentality.
Anyways,
Cheers for the answers guys, it's much appreciated

Well, what are your co-workers going to tell your boss? That they were goofing off all day on the Xbox Live website and happened to see you online? There are several things wrong with this scenario: 1. Those guys shouldn't be doing that while working. So they won't say anything to your boss in the first place. 2. It's not a crime to be on your Xbox 360 while you're at your own home. You certainly can't get fired for it. There's no justification in the world your boss could use to fire you for that. You could probably sue him for wrongful termination if anything. 3. How do your co-workers know you're the one on your Xbox playing the games? Do you have other people living in your house? How do they know it's not someone else on your Xbox playing? Again, they have no basis to accuse you of anything. And besides.. you're being a little paranoid. You really think they're on the Live website all day just waiting for you to peek your head on Live so they can bust you? I feel sorry for you if you're being that paranoid about this whole thing. And like I said earlier, there is an appear offline option if you want it.. you don't necessarily need to be offline to look like you're offline.And I took your advice and thanked you for it.
The thing is, you can't really comment n how MY work will take me pulling a sickie and playing games unless you have yourself worked there.
I don't want to sound like a douchebag, but i don't think there is any need for some of your comments.
1. No, they shoudn't be on the live site while working. But they do if we are having a quiet day. Same as i do. Same as i come onto this site if it's quiet at work.
2. No, it is not a crime to be on the xbox in my own home. And I'm not suggesting i would lose my job over it. I am mearly concerned about appearances. If i decide to take the day off of work to play Assassins creed when it comes out. I don't want some muppet in six months time, when i might be sick, going "he is just pulling a sickie, i saw him on xbox when he was off last"
3. they know because the only people that live in my house are me and my wife, and my wife rarely games.
It's not paranoia mate, i was just covering my own ass.
But thankyou none the less for the actual advice you gave me.
