RP of my update about work situation

It was a bit awkward --- but not too bad.

I had a lot more to say today than I did on Thursday --- since I had some time to think about it.  And while I was completely and totally wrong for using the internet in excess (I get that and am NOT dismissing it/excusing it), I also presented the fact that I have completed all of my work on time (or ahead of time) and it has all been accurate.

In addition, she asked me how I would feel if it was a teammate of mine that was on the internet all the time and how do I think my team would feel about it if they found out?  I said "Well, if they weren't up in anyone's business, it wouldn't matter.  I don't care what my teammates do --- as long as it doesn't impact me.  If they start slacking to the point where I have to pick up their slack, sure, I would be annoyed.  However that has NEVER happened with me.  I don't put any additional work on them because I'm on the internet."

Not sure she knew what to say to that -- and I did not say it in those exact words (it was a wee bit more professional than that). 

I will be getting a warning --- she is waiting to hear back from HR if it will be a verbal or written.  So still more waiting however either way, it doesn't matter.  My recourse is the same either way --- NO MORE INTERNET!

    Oh wow, I didn't realize that you were going through this! I'm sorry Jodi, that is really tough. But it sounds like you handled yourself well- good job there.

    Hopefully it will all be water under the bridge sooner than later. Sorry!

    kap --- SO true!  ESPECIALLY in this economy!  I'm thankful that I still have my job.

    Yes, I will post at night --- until JOE gives me a written warning for spending too much on the internet.  He *thinks* he has that authority!  ;)

    Glad you weren't fired or locked in a closet or something. That would be such an uncomfortable situation, but sounds like it was handled well on both ends.

    I have cut back and am not nesting at work now because this story scares me!  I'm sorry you are going through this.

    Oh man Jodi. So sorry this happened. I guess it could happen to anyone. We do miss you, but I am glad you have your job.

     Take care!
