Well, this afternoon I was chatting it up about the Grateful Dead, the music, the vibes, and oops- the drugs?

Because of it, today will likely have been my last job with my employer- Yep, I got caught chatting on a message board when things were slow at my office.

Four and a half years and all of the profitable projects I've created comes down to this- getting caught chatting at work. But, I can't help it. I have to know what's happening in my ChiefsPlanet. I have to know!

Dammit.

So, you give me a computer with Internet access and tell me I can't use the Internet? So, do you tell the doorman at the strip club, "Hey, no lookin' at the girls while you're working!" But, if there's nobody at the door, what's he to do besides look at the girls?

This is BS. But, I admit- I'm addicted to the Planet. My addiction may have cost me a job- I know that much is true tomorrow. It doesn't look good.

But, hey- I can look on the bright side- at least now I can ***** around on the Planet while drinking beer and cursing at the neighbors through my window for awhile.

The plan was the 3rd or 4th week of July, if that jives with you?

Sounds good. I've got nothing planned between my vacation next week and the end of August, so come on up!

I think you might be able to keep your job..there is always a chance.

good luck, but you'll be alright if you have the day off.

You can always claim an addiction to the internet, which is starting to be documented(hell some guy died online the other day)....and tell them you're sueing for not taking care of your addiction....or something.

If not, tell him to Fug off and that his wife's cooch smells like old sharkmeat.

It was probably the fact that it was a KC Chiefs MB. Good luck CP!

You're being paid to make your company more profitable. Your time on the job belongs to them, not you, because they're paying for it. Your beliefs about entitlement to playing with yourself while on the job are irrelevant.

You know what? Forget about that. Instead, just blame your employer for not training you to have better discipline.

Now ROW you scurvy dogs! ROW!

Sorry to hear, Cosmic. I hope the boss backs down...

As others have mentioned, sometimes these things are for the best because they open up doors one would have missed otherwise. Best wishes.

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to those who have given their support- I really do appreciate it.

I'm off to the office in about a half hour. I've come to the conclusion, I should be okay. It will be a headache for the company to let me go, but more importantly- I've met and exceeded all expectations and prancing around on a message board shouldn't be the cause for termination as long as I've met and exceeded company expectations.

My problem is- is that I have to be working all the time, or I'll get bored. Yesterday, was a slow day at the office and I got bored. I'm just like a child, if I get bored, I end up doing bad things like chatting on a message board. I would never make it as a security guard. I'd end up falling asleep on the job 'cause the job itself wouldn't be exciting enough for me. It's not my fault I'm falling asleep- it's the position itself- it wouldn't keep me busy enough.

Now, there's a lot of peeps who would love to be a security guard, 'cause a lot of peeps would thrive with less activities and responsibilities. But, not me. I need something to do, all the time, or I'll end up finding something to do- like chatting on a message board.

I will have to find something else to do for awhile should I still have a job today. This means, of course, I won't be chatting on the Planet during the day for some time. I'll hop in every now and then 'cause quite frankly, I like playing with fire. But, for the most part, I'll be reserving most of my time on the Planet at night, when I'm at home and not entertaining the girls high school volleyball team to a game of strip poker.

Adios. And thanks again for your cosmic support....

I give him 5 minutes back at his desk at work after being lectured before he posts again.

And I give him 5 minutes after that to be fired because they will be monitoring his internet traffic.
