I'm nervous. The workplace is at a cross roads right now. Work is taking a LONG time to get done and the boss is starting to get PISSED. As of now, it looks like I'm on the good side of that. rRegardless of my copious time on BT, it seems like I get enough done to look like I'm working. So it's me and the boss "against" the rest and we need to lay down the law. (however, as much as I screw off, there is a LOT more going on outside my office).

So, I stay in good graces with the boss (he asked if I knew any good engineers 'like me' we could hire), but may lose some "trust" among the staff because I (and the boss) have to take a stand about the unproductivity.

I feel a little guilty because I do spend a lot of time in TAN and could be more productive myself.

I suggested a "sit-down" with the entire staff to talk about this so it looks like we are not singling anyone out. We may even have to cut back internet since I see lots of people watching TV on it (yes, at work)

I'm very uneasy right now and a little anxious.

I think the way to handle it is to say "look, we're all using the internet too much, so everyone is going to cut back." That way, fingers can't be pointed.

And if people aren't working, I suspect there are root causes that aren't the internet - its something else. 

It is, and I mentioned that to the boss.  Basically, if there is not a deadline for work, people will "stretch" the work to fill the available time.  If times are busy, then people work faster to keep it from piling up.  If times are slower (like now) they will expand the work to fill the time.  Pretty simple.

So if I/we put interum deadlines on tasks, that will get people to hustle up.  But then the task is on me and the boss to keep work available....

At least you won't have to wear stinging sunblock!

You're supposed to wear sunblock even if it's cloudy. UV rays pass through clouds.

But not through UW cubies.

Ha! i have an interior office. It's great, really.

REAL walls AND a door. You moving up!


Well, i'll be honest. i share it with someone (who's at 50% time and dropping...), and i'm only here because i ended up with a migraine when they put me next to the window.

i'm such a delicate flower and all. Ha.

so do you need to show your freak flag to ride said bus?  I didn't know that there were such cool benefits to being a freak... or is that only because Madison is such a cool place?

-B 

Most Madisonians (at least the UW college kids) THINK it's a cool place.  It's another place to live nearby for me.

half Asian from the waist up?  doesn't that make him a quarter Asian overall?

Or maybe three-quarters Asian if he's fully Asian from the waist down...
