Shit is hitting the fan at work and it is including someone watching my computer screen to be sure I am actually working (it doesn’t matter how much finished work I produce or how fast I am, it is only matters that I am always doing “work”).
This means very limited to no LJ at work. No YM. No email unless I sneak it. I may be able to post to LJ but I am not going to be able to keep up on the reading at this time.
I have one more week to go to make my 5 years. It looked like I was the skin of my teeth away from getting fired yesterday. That is why there was no internet connections today until long after work. I managed to tap dance my way around it and show that the “problem” they had with me was a misunderstanding but because it happened, it just shows that my boss is watching for something to get on my case about. I can’t stand being around someone that has such basic issues with who I am and what I do. I am sorely tempted to quit so I can give my two weeks, thereby insuring that I am here over my 5 year anniversary.
The job search is actually kicking into gear. We will see how much I get done.
Since my main electronic connections are things I only access at work, don’t count on email getting to me in a timely manner. My home phone still works and it has voice mail. Oh yeah, not that it matters because I don’t give out my work phone unless I need to be contacted, but the personal phone calls are a problem as well. Just for me, no one else. No one else sits next to my boss and so they don’t disturb him.
Just so you know: vesting is not always handled by anniversary date. Under many benefit plans, if you have 2000 hours of service in a plan year (which, admittedly, is 50 weeks x 40 hours, but in your case, that might mean something), it must count for vesting.
Well !$@#$@#!~!!!$%%!
I’m so sorry to hear about this nonsense. Many hugs and lots of good wish and proactive thoughts for a better place to work that groks you… as you in all your wonder and glory. You’re an amazing person and yoru boss is a jerk if he can’t get that.

How hard would it be to switch cubes with someone? I remember you saying you had other issues with the cube layout so maybe you could kill two birds with one stone? Might be at least a reasonable interim step to quitting.
But, ack, sounds yucky overall.
