I almost feel the man over my shoulder now.
I'm almost afraid to either check my mail, or my LJ or POST from work.
When I finally got to work, I felt most of management was "weird" I thought this was due to the fact that the cell company turned off the cell phones over the weekend, due to "non payment" while I was waiting for a credit from them. I STILL don't think we got the credit but the damn things needed to be turned on. The bills are IMPOSSIBLE to read correctly, in addition to the fact they're setup as a personal account, instead of a business account. I blame the person who set it up. So does my boss, but that's not the issue.
Apparently, the Powers That Be decided to clean out and REVIEW all email on the servers. Heads are rolling. People are bing fired, due to gross misuse of company email, and there are others who are being formally written up - a WHOLE bunch of people are either one or the other. when I say gross misuse, they're telling me there are drug deals being written via company email, along with perverted sexual exploits documented among coworkers. (I don't mean writing your buddy about a naughty story, I mean writing about a gross weekend with a coworker, to SEVERAL others.)
One of the people being written up is my minion. Now, I DEFINATELY knew she was an email junkie - she ALWAYS has an email up. but, as long as all her work gets done, I don't give a flying crap WHAT she does. I seem to be one of the "new" kind of management, that understands personal use of the Internet, and hasn't got a problem with it. Except by me not talking to her about it, she's gotten busted by the upstairs. *sighs* I feel awful, especially since I'm JUST as bad, I'm just SMARTER than that. I learned MY company email lesson a long time ago. But, I have no idea when they'll start tracking Internet usage. I'm pretty sure they don't look right now. But now they SO will.
I was terrified about writing this at work. I'm not thrilled about looking at it at work. I should tuck this behind a friend's lock, but *shrug* if I pull it down after having logged in it won't matter. Thankfully I wipe my cache every day, but it's not enough.
I'd worry about this at another office too, except the boss looks at SO MUCH porn that I think my checking email and LJ for five minutes is negotiable. Especially if he find out that I know. *grins*
Otherwise, I'm still overworked. I did NOTHING this weekend, literally. Made no phone calls, did no errands, didn't clean anything. OK I DID get some bread, and my new contacts and Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. but Saturday, I didn't even get dressed. This is NOT A GOOD thing. I should have gone to one of my offices, but I didn't remember til I was there this morning WHY I wanted to go. And I 'm looking at my week, unwilling to give up what I WANT to do, and crowded by what I have to do.
I've got one week. Packing needs to be done next weekend. I have to drag out my luggage and clean up some around here and pack everything I don't need til London. I actually might NOT go out Friday night, and I think I'm staying home Saturday to pack and clean and work. Plus, I have to arrange some hangout time and I've advanced some client things. *sighs* I feel like I wasted last weekend but I'm at a loss what I COULD have done.
IN order to pull the next couple of days, I'm sacrificing the weekend I think. the plan is for me to drive out to Northhampton at a reasonable hour, and I MIGHT take a hotel room if Ben AIMs me before I go to bed (which is soon) and come back Wednesday afternoon. I might just come home the same night, so I can sleep til noon and get some cleaning done. I don't know yet.
That's me - I don't know. Anything. So tired. Looking forward to plane ride, so I can sit and do NOTHING but watch movies. That's sad, isn't it?
OK, bed soon. I'm actually tired, after only getting home two hours ago. More water please.

Date: 2003-10-28 06:53 am (UTC)My minion apparantly wrote 50 emails to a coworker in a 2 hour period. Now when they told me that I said "So?" Figureing those wetre those one liner emails when you're carrying on a conversation. She works HARD, I don't see that as a problem. It is, however, not up to me. *sighs*
Management's attitude also worries me. The vice president apparently ratted on my minion with glee, and wants her FIRED. What kind of attitude is that?
I think a whole bunch of people are going to quit, actually I think my minion and the only guy who does anything in MIS is going to - the people they are firing are very popular. I'm very happy to see one of them go - he's an asshole, but I think he's going to take a number of people with him.
GAH! I don't need this right now, you know?
