I'm my own boss, but if I went away and left myself in charge and then caught myself misusing company equipment I'd have no option but to issue myself with a very severe reprimand, and perhaps even give myself the sack. My boss is a hard task master, but given the stubborn, argumentative and thoroughly awkward nature of his single employee, I can well understand it. :)

If one of my employees would waste company time and resources like that, I'd sack that person immediately.

True to my conscience, I should take the initiative and responsibility for my team, preparing the up-to-date status and filing to his desk. This would induce his confidence level in the team that his absence would not affect the organization in anyway.

Very Bad. Would you do it in your big brother's house?

nobody is going to ask me for a week "what is the status?"
Wouldn't your heart ask?

How would you get your head so far up his arse if he's on holiday?

The same as if he's here...he let's me, and all the other groups run things as we see fit with little interaction... However, when I go on leave (military speak for vacation), I might go and speak to the network manager and have him "monitor" certain people in my group whom I feel might be taking advantage of my being gone. :wtf:

He is not going on a permanent holiday from the company right? Instead of sending a bit-by-bit update like the normal, the thing that is required is consolidate the statuses and at each end of day, we ought to report him. Once he is back, he can review them at leisure. Though perusing a large pile of status reports on return would be a bit of task, that would pay him in terms of confidence boost for him emphasizing that his employees understand their responsibility and his company can manage even if he his little absent and can take off here and there for his personal errands.

LOL That's pretty much my take on it too... :laugh: ...except that my partner also works for me, so I get to spank her if she's slacking off. :-O

My job here is done. ;P ;P ;P Ironically today Beth is probably working harder than I am (she's visiting a customer site to finish integrating a system this week), while I'm just fiddling around with our soon-to-be-launched new site and listening to Planet Rock on DAB. :cool:

Typical Indian post. The more I hear the more I think you are all lazy and useless. Is it true? are ou all as lazy as this scrounging good for nothing n'er-do-well?
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

Start packing your things. The guard will be by in a few minutes to escort you out of the building.

I find many of these responses ironic, considering most of us are sitting at work typing them... :^)
