back online....... sort of
Mood:  hug me
Topic: Miscellaneous goings-on
You may have noticed that my blog has been offline for the past week or so...

That's because I found out that some people in upper management got wind of it & obviously weren't too happy about it. Consequently, I was talked to on Friday about 'job performance' type stuff... I'm guessing that since I took this thing down, they couldn't really bring up that it exists... and instead used the "it looks like you aren't very happy with your job" approach. That's the best way that I can describe it. My boss (my real boss, the one that signs my paycheck and gives me my review) was pretty cool about everything though, really... he told me that if there was anything he could do to make me happy, he would do it... even if it meant talking to contacts in other companies where I could find a job doing something more interesting. I did tell him that part of my problem at work is that I'm just not challenged and I'm bored to tears... I've been doing the same thing there for 4 years, and it's just so repetitive and I never really learn anything new. Some people can be happy doing that indefinitely, but I'm too smart for that... and I told him so. He agreed. Part of my 'punishment' or whatever you want to call it is that they pulled my internet access at work. I didn't care too much about that (my web access), but I found when I got back to my computer that they'd just pulled the plug entirely and I have no email either. That's the only thing I was pissed about. I *DO* need email for my job because I have to manage Fuzz's email lists and all that. But I guess that they'll get Bonnie (the other admin) to do it. *sigh*

So I have to decide now what I want to do... I can stay at Harms where I am comfortable, but miserable between my job duties and personality conflicts... or I can look elsewhere, somewhere that I have the opportunity to learn new skills and I have opportunity for advancement. Hmmm.

What do YOU think I'm going to do? :-P

My blog entries are obviously going to be more erratic for a while, since my internet access isn't going to be constant, so bear with me...

Everything else in life is good... I have some other worries and concerns, but I'm trying not to let a bunch of "what-ifs" get to me.

Hope that everyone is doing well... take care.

Good call on pulling your blog so they couldn’t point to it and say "we caught you"! Still that’s evil of them to pull your net access like that. I'd be pissed about not having email as well. Then again, I've never had a job until recently where I could have internet access while at work. Now, I'll be the one he lords over the sought after internet access! Ha Ha! Don't piss me off or your precious emails will all end up in the trash can never to be seen again! *Ahem* Sorry, got carried away. In closing, fight the good fight, find a better job that makes you happier, and be sure to have your pet spade or neutered, or something.

I was wondering what happened to you! I took my site and blog down for a while (just felt like being anonymous), and when I put it back up, I saw that you were gone.

And what's up with your other blog? It says you have to be a member of that site to read it now? Wazzup wit dat? (that's me trying to sound cool, btw)
