I had a strange thing happen when I first started in this biz. I was only doing this part time and working for a mainstream web design company part time. I ran an amateur site with surfer submissions ( it's long since closed for many reasons ) my boss had gone to florida on a biz trip, took the company digital camera and took shots of babes topless and in thongs on the beach. He tried to submit the pics to my site. My ISP's email server was down and it bounced to him. He read through the header and saw my email address in it. The next day he asked me if the site was mine. I said yes and he fired me telling me that the companies clients would not be happy to know that someone running a porn site was working on their sites. I asked him how they would feel if they knew one of the managers at that company was taking pics of topless chicks with a company camera on a company trip?

He didn't answer.

The best thing is that when i got fired I focused on this biz hard and in 6 months was making twice what I was working for them. About a year later the company closed down in the middle of the night and skipped out. They owed all the employees about 3 weeks pay and just left them hanging.
