I just got a call from my supervisor asking me where I was the other day. I work in a remote site and no one ever really checks on me on a day to day. So I decide to take a long lunch (3hrs), ironically the 1st time I have ever done it in three and a half years, and that is the day that he decides to come a give me a visit. Here I thought I got away with it, since i came back to my office and finished the <edit> day out without any issues.
So needless to say, I am busted. He going come pay me another visit on Tuesday... I am about 1/2 way through escrow on a new house, so I hope he isn't coming to fire me! j/k I hope it doesn't come to that, I haven't been a poor employee, with the company about 3.5 years. The last time I saw this supervisor in person was last xmas at the company party, and before that was when I was hired 3 years ago. In anycase, I may be browsing the 'net while waiting for help desk calls, but no more walking away from my desk!

Well, he left a couple of hours ago, and I guess there are a couple of problems with my performance. The first is one of the directors complained that I "only help the pretty girls and the ugly ones don't get any help" (straight quote). If could be more even with how I help my users it would be great. 2nd, is that I cannot offer advice to people on a personal basis. So when people say I have a computer that doesn't work at home what should I do, or what kind of computer shoudl I buy my son, I am now to say that I cannot answer that, and should report the people who asked to the appropriate director, since they shouldn't be talking to me anyhow, unless it is for IT support. Overall, it sounds like they think I am too social with my users, especially if it is a pretty gal.
Then of course, he came last thursday to talk to me about this and my shinanigans of taking off for three hours didn't help...
