The Pendulum Still Swings

So tomorrow, there is yet another meeting with the good folks in HR. I am not looking forward to it, but don't have much of a choice. In truth, I am not really concerned. It's more of an inconvenience than anything else. Here's what I've been pondering during the past 24 hours. FIRST! The problem was introduced with the words "this was found on a printer in Mammography..." Which is odd. I believe the assumption behind this was that I had printed it and forgotten it. Someone found it, and was concerned. The funny thing is... I have never once printed my blog. Why would I? I write it. I know what's there! The other problem with this presentation is that on the day it was printed I was working in a different department and you cannot print documents from the department I was working in to Mammography. This means, someone had to have printed it out and then turned it in. Talk about Malicious!! SECOND! When printed out, the first blog was 30 pages long (I am so thrilled that I had written so much, and am missing some of those posts, a few were quite clever.) The portion I was questioned about was one of my early entries. It appeared on page 20. This means, that whoever printed it out had spent a significant amount of time reading through to find that portion before printing it out and turning it in. So, apparently I am not the only one spending "significant amounts of time on the internet at work." THIRD! It's not as if there was anything significantly inappropriate on the site. There was no foul language, no vulgarity of content, not even a hint of maliciousness toward my work or coworkers. I made one exaggerated, sarcastic statement. I can guarantee, if they were to look at pages belonging to some of my other coworkers, they'd certainly find objectionable material! In the entire situation, I have to say I feel as though it's fairly frivolous. A HUGE deal has been made over something so incredibly minor. I don't understand why there has to be an enormous investigation over what seems to me to be sooooo petty. Would the same thing happen if I'd written the same thing in a pen/paper journal that I forgot on the desk? In the grand scheme of things however, I work per diem. I'd be sad to lose the job, but I can always find something else. Although, I doubt termination is in the works at this point. Not much else to say on the subject. I suppose it's time for me to head out. I'll keep you posted, and will update tomorrow.
