I'm going to meet with my HR department tomorrow morning. I can only hope for good things, but if their intentions are bad, then I may not frequent this site as much.
-
Oh noes...do you have the internet at home, Parker? Maybe it's not a bad meeting...good luck!
-
Uh oh, I hope it's not bad after all. Good luck tomorrow.
-
Thanks, I do have Internet at home, thankfully.
-
Uh oh. Well, I wish you the best of luck, Parker. Hey, you never know, maybe they just want to tell you what a swell job you've been doing.
-
Yeah, there was a previous episode about my chair that they ordered for me, I hope it's about that.
-
Yikes! I hope it's a good thing. Good luck!
-
Hope it's nothing bad parker! Good luck.
-
Good luck Parker! And remember, if in doubt blame someone else for your mistakes! (Joke!) ;)
-
Oooooh . . . ouch.
Burn the snitch!
-
Haha, thanks guys.
-
DDDDD: OH NOES well hope you are wrong and they didn't find you out.
hope its all good
-
good luck, parker!

Sure enough, RAF wasn't the main focus of the visit, but it was a part of it. I was placed on probation, and my Internet usage was restricted to work-related only. If I use the Internet for personal use again, even once, I could get suspended or fired. :-[
These are the days I regret not building up my self-control as a child. It's difficult, but I've managed to not visit RAF from work for two days now.
"Hi, my name is Brandon, and I'm a RAFaddict."
-
Man, that sucks. I don't understand the problem. As long as you get your work done, what does it matter? Sorry, dude.
-
Well, the problem is that management held up my productivity. And instead of owning that, and letting me catch up, they used that as a scapegoat.
-
That sounds typical.

Hahaha, nice. I lurve Dilbert.
-
Well I can understand it from an employers point of view; they don't pay you so you can hang out on RAF (although that would be awesome).
At my old job I was a RAFaddict and I (luckily) wasn't busted, but I do feel bad now for doing it. I work for my dad now so there's so way I'm gonna waste his time like that.
How'd they know you were on RAF?
And how's it all going now? :)
-
Well, as it's Satur/Sunday, it's not going. ;D
I work inside of a school, and the IT department has records.
-
Lucky you, only half an hour of Sunday left for me :(
Ahh so you can't just hit 'delete history'. Hmm that's no good. Well, I think you're gonna be fine. :)
-
Oh yeah, I'll be good. As long as I resist temptation. I deleted RAF from my Favorites/bookmarks, so it's not so easy to just go there.
-
Leechblock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4476). I've installed it. I'm setting it up today.
:'( :'(
In a somewhat similar situation, except
a) not works rules, but personal ones. I want to totally own the Japanese language, and hanging out in English isn't going to help. As much fun as it is.
b) I don't have to completely cut back, just limit time.
-
Aww that sucks. :( I'm sorry, Parker.
-
Oh man, I'm sorry Parker. Corporate rules really suck sometimes. A friend of mine who works for a big medical billing place got busted because she had been using something like 32 minutes of non-work related internet a day. And she has a thirty minute break, non-paid. THAT was pretty extreme.
Oh well...you could always get a phone that has the internet? Oh god, I'm bad, I know :)
-
Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that, Parker. I can kind of understand it, though, that employers want you to use your time wisely.
Well, you know what they say. The first step to conquering your addiction is to admit that you have a problem.
Oh gawd. I'm gonna be screwed when I get a job, aren't I?
-
Haha, yeah. I have a phone that can go on-line, it's just paying for the accessibility that's the problem. :-\
-
welcome to RAFaddicts anonymous. Today we have a new person with us today. can everyone say hi to parker and make him feel welcome?
-
Hi Parker!
I'm Tara, RAFaholic AND RAFaddict... ;D You get your silver RAFaholics Anonymous chip just for being here, and having a desire to stop RAFing!
We all know we're screwed! XD
-
Haha, I'll never stop RAFing! I just have to stop it at work. :P :'(
-
or...you can stop work!
-
Yeah, homeless, wandering the streets with my lappy begging for change and free wi-fi. :rofl2:
-
But at least you'd have RAF! :)
-
True. Instead of the crazy homeless guy stealing your newspaper, I'm the crazy homeless guy stealing your wireless signal. ;D
-
Exactly. :thumbsup:
-
"Tuppence? Tuppence sir? Tuppence and a Gig?"
-
Hey, that may not be so farfetched. Given that the world doesn't end by 2012 ::) .
-
Hahaha
-
yeah. may as well go out RAFing!!
-
Personally, that's my plan. :P
...I wonder who will post on "Last person to post wins" right before the world ends?
-
Me!
-
:P Hmm... I was thinking me, actually..
-
Sorry, to disappoint ;)
-
it will be whoever is not closest to the sea or Yosemite. It will could be, if he were still around, Morfowt in China.
-
welcome to RAFaddicts anonymous.
Isn't this like holding an AA meeting in a bar?
-

-
Hahaha.
