New Situation

So I've rejoined the working world - yay! But I'm working in one of those offices that has all the major web-based email sites blocked. Luckily they haven't blocked this site yet, so I still have some link to the outside world. Actually, I'm in a kind of funny situation in this job, I'm already working hear but they are still interviewing me and other people too. I'm not sure if that means it's already a done deal and the bureaucracy just has to catch up or that they aren't sure about me and they are hedging their bets. Either way, I'm happy to get paid even if it's just till they hire one of the other schmoes they are interviewing - although none of them looked too promising to me - but that might just be bias on my part.

jesus, how did this come to pass? you were just in an interview like what, yesterday? the day before? and now they have you behind a desk? madness! email me if you can....

Sorry no email, we'll have to air our dirty laundry like the internet exhibitionists that we are. Perhaps they'll give me a work email account at some point and we can have conversations that only the boss and the IT guys can read instead of the whole world.
And, yes Paul I am ashamed, ashamed I didn't get a job at a company with a really lax internet policy!

oh, and those IT dudes totally do read all the emails too! even at law firms, where the communications are supposed to be "confidential"....

let's not get all high and mighty here, i'd read everyone elses email if i had access to them and you all know that you would too.

Yes - instead we're reduced to blogs...like when the new, Bush appointed executive director arrived here and brough with her a gay republican speech writer with a google-able blog that insulted the king of swaziland. Almost caused an international incident, and of course the whole building is now privy to all secrets. Public service would be to make printouts and leave them on his desk!

Well I promise never to insult the King of Swaziland in my blog unless, of course, he deserves it.
Man, I love google, it used to take so much more research to get dirt on people!
