Falsely Accused!

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.
