A call to action
Two weeks, being let go from my job due to my absence, my mother and father locking me out of the house, and three bottles of Zoloft later, I decided to escape to the only place I knew would take me:
I must apologize to my loyal readers for my long absence. I have received email from some of you asking me what has happened, but unfortunately I just got it today. My little brother is at school right now and took his laptop with him, so I have been unable to use the Internet from home. As for work...
Well, I am not sure EXACTLY what happened, but I do know that I saw one of those jerks from the fourth floor near my cubicle on Monday morning when I came in. I went to the bathroom so I wouldn't have to deal with him, and when I came back to my desk, he wasn't around at all.
So I sit down to work as usual, check my emails and just go about work as usual for a while.
At least until 11 am that morning. I opened up my inbox in Lotus Notes and there was an urgent message from my boss an the IT director. I was supposed to meet with them immediately.
So I get to the meeting room and the IT director proceeds to tell me that during a routine network sweep they found pornographic material on my network share drive! Now, I don't know how it got there at all and I was so embarrassed I couldn't do anything but nod my head. I don't know how I kept the tears in check as my manager proceeded to berate me and tell me that this was completely unacceptable behavior.
It wasn't until an hour later after I came back after sobbing quietly in my favorite bathroom stall that I realized that jerk from the fourth floor might have been on my computer when I saw him walking away! When I got in this morning, I was logged in. I don't know how he got my password, I even added the dash between "bon-bons" to make it more secure! I was so angry when I realized he must have done it, I started shaking.
But that wasn't the worst part. Apparently, because of my infraction, I was restricted to only visiting web sites within the company's Intranet and so I've been effectively cut off from the rest of the Web until today! And even now, I am on a probationary period and my boss says if they find anything like that on my computer again I will be immediately terminated!
I tried to tell him about the guy who I suspected might have done it, but my boss is so aggressive, I don't know how to approach him. The disapproving looks he gives me whenever I am nearby is enough to make me avoid his office as much as a I can...
Thank God no one ate my bon bons from the fridge in the break room this week.
