>Does your employer know?

Not to my knowledge.

>Do they care?
>Would they care if they knew?

They would if they knew, but only if I was counting time spent on CF as "work time". Otherwise they wouldn't care. My project manager at one of the client sites I was at recently would organize after-hours LAN parties using the company network. The key being "after hours", meaning people weren't playing games for 2 hours every afternoon then taking off at 5pm.

Depends on how fancy you are w/ regard to tunnelling, proxies, etc. If you're just telnettnig directly to CF then it would be pretty easy to detect. It might be suspicious that you're connecting to a non-standard port, or they might not care. My experience so far, albeit limited, is that companies typically just block what they don't want you to access. Or, at least they try. Unless you're doing something illegal (filesharing), expensive w/ regard to bandwidth, or potentially embarrassing for the company (porn) they're only going to ding you if your job performance dips.

>Anything else you'd like to share about mudding and work.

Don't do it. Yeah, I know, I'm a hypocrite. But trust me, it's bad all around. It makes your job performance suffer, and sooner or later your boss is going to walk in and you'll have to go AFK and probably get PK'd while you're away. That sucks ass.
