workplace--part 2
did you miss "workplace part I"? maybe you recognized your own office in that list? well, not only do a lot of my favorite diarists talk about how much work sucks. most also probably update or read diaries while at work. who can blame them? why not? i've probably said it before: big brother work environments are so uncool in my book. it's just not deck at all. well a lot of you might recognize yourselves here. so like my previous entry, this one is also for you guys:
**************************************
how to survive at work if caught slacking on the web and looking at non-work related sites:
(like, oh, maybe, if you're on diaryland while at work)?
1) blame your faulty search engine or a typing error in the web address for directing you to a given page.
2) blame your browser and say "damn, someone reset my home page AGAIN!"
3) say you're having trouble loading work-related sites today and so you're just visting other popular web sites to see if your computer is working properly.
4) blame it on popups and act like the page you're viewing is actually a popup.
5) blame an e-mail correspondent and say you innocently clicked on the hyperlinks your friend sent you in an e-mail, not knowing what they were.
6) always keep your corporate work intranet site up in a separate browser and be ready to click over in an instant so it looks like you're doing official work.
7) position your monitor so no one (say, your boss, maybe?) who is standing at your office door entrance can see your computer screen.
