took the words out of my mouth

if you have an admin you cant trust, fire him.

if you really want to keep yer data private store it on a non-domain
laptop, gnupg the info and dont give yer admin the key (which should
be stored on your pendrive with encryption as well), and never plug
the machine into the intarweb.
