...if you installed a key-logger of some sort last night, SCREW YOU!

You don't install key loggers on security's computer. In fact, you don't even install web browsers... 
To avoid having your keyboard input logged:
Unplug the network cable.
Click on Start -> Go to All Programs -> Click onAccessories -> Select Accessibility ->Click on On-Screen Keyboard
Open task manager, go to Processes.
Search anything that looks out of place at Liutilities or Neuber or just google the name really.
Kill it. Find it's executable and delete it or better yet replace it with an empty file of the same name.
If you don't have permission to delete files, bring a linux boot disk to work with you tomorrow. Boot from it. Mount the drive as root. Delete the files.
Would a Bluetooth keyboard get around a keylogger?
thats what I was thinking too

No. Only an on-screen keyboard...even then some loggers might catch that.
Came back from vacation and found that someone had logged onto my computer as local admin, now what was that about...

Well, you could always find it and then report it to your boss as spyware like your company had been hacked. Then make her uncomfortable and admit it's policy by offering to remove it safely ;)
Then go get a different job.
My opinion is that... it's better to remain silent, disable it and leave it in place.
I've found that most companies forget to change the factory or backup emergency passwords listed in the software manuals. I had complete control of my machine at one company for years, and even helped unlock a few other stations around me. I understand the need for security, but some people just want to flex their IT power just because they can.

Friend of mine worked for Lehman brothers. He did all the IT work there. When they got bought by the German firm, they made him disable all the CD rom drives so people could not load in programs of thier own or remove data.
This included his own admin computer....

In college I used to run applications from a thumb drive to bypass the software installation ban on the lab computers. I just plugged in the USB drive, fired up mIRC and chatted away while the professor droned on.

that guy must also work for the Canadian IT firm that just recently bungled a major website for the US government...
That seems to be his only post today...hope he didn't get fired for it
In reply to nicksta43:
Nope. 
The boss just saw you type "nope" and is thinking "Not yet, but I'll figure out what is going on in Berkeley soon. Yes, soon."
As long as my VNC icon on the bottom of the screen is white, I'm in control.....if its black, damn IT dept is screwing with me.

I scan the latest posts from time to time, sometimes commenting. I could consider it my smoke break I suppose.

I usually have YouTube running in the background. It's no different to the end user as having a radio on, etc. however, to the company it uses resources (bandwidth) and appears as if they aren't working.

i stream a radio station all night at work, with facebook open in one tab and various other sites getting browsed in another tab... night shift cnc machinist isn't the kind of job that requires 100% attention at all times..

I can't watch a video in the background, it always pulls my attention. Some people might be able to do it but to me it's a lot more intrusive than music.
I have been watching YOUTube TIG welding videos all week, everyday.
We do some welding here at work and I am trying to get my head around every variable involved. the videos seem to be helping me.
I am not sure if the IT department care or not.
