Musing & Muted Monologues...

Trying to Make Sense of It All...

Add this to the list of “I thought I heard it all…”

So I’m sitting at my desk, and a higher up (which could be anybody because everybody is pretty much higher up than I) comes into my office (it’s really a cube) and asks me the strangest thing I’ve heard in my entire working career.  Essentially I’ve been asked to go to a porn site.  I’m laughing to myself as I type this, because I had to ask them repeatedly, “So, you want me to actually go to this site?”  Basically, some {insert ambiguous adjective here} has taken names of fellow coworkers and used them as keywords for search engines to latch onto.  You look for a coworker of mine, you may get porn.  Wow.  I have heard of this before, but never knew anybody that was a victim of this. 
So I have to go there and see what type of stuff is being done (with the keywords…pervs) and figure out a way to get this problem resolved.  The funny thing is, I don’t get many “visitor’s” in my office (cube), so I know what’s next.  I haven’t pulled up the site yet, but I just know somebody who’s not in the loop is going to come into my office (it really is a cube, ya’ll) during my “investigation” and think I’m the biggest pervert ever.  What a wonderful tidbit of info to add to my employment records, right?  Employee likes to surf porn sites during work hours.
 
Me (as if I’m doing the regular job routine) :  Oh…hey, how are you?
Coworker:  I’m…fine .  Ummm, what are you doing?
Me :  Oh nothing, just performing my job duties as assigned…that hand lotion on my desk has nothing to do with this.  Seriously.
 
Sigh.  God please don’t let me get fired over this…
