I'm coaxing my laptop to stay awake because a large critical download fails if it falls asleep and I can't change the sleep timer due to corporate security = work

Lol at all these people recommending external mice and wristwatches. Open PowerPoint, make two slides, set the timer for each slide to be 99999 or whatever, and press "play slideshow".

lmao at all y'all pretending to do work because you work under surveillance. Our union prevented the IT office from collecting any statistics/data on worker productivity because that should be assessed by negotiated output/goals - not inferred from intermediate surveillance of random poo poo.
