    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. :)

    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

        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.

          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:

                                If you were professional, you would continue to do the work that you're paid for and expected to do. You don't pause for a week because you're not supervised. Deadlines don't work that way.

                                      Increasing TMI threshold denied by group policy. To appeal this decision contact Mr XYZ; Director, IT Prudity (caution bringing attention to yourself this way can be detrimental to continued employment).

                                        I would love to know what's going on in the five or so posts above this but for some reason the corporate firewall is replacing the text with pictures of kittens. What's up with that?

                                        Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river. The river gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your contract says you can't use concrete or steel - the client only provides timber and cut stone (but won't tell you what kind). Gravity changes from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer

                                          Increasing TMI threshold denied by group policy. To appeal this decision contact Mr XYZ; Director, IT Prudity (caution bringing attention to yourself this way can be detrimental to continued employment).

                                          Group policy decision overruled by corporate policy change. For immediate release: The position of "Director IT Prudity" has been retired following the recent acquisition of Company, Inc. by Google, Inc. Henceforth, all expressions of prudity will be replaced by copious quantities of bean bags and lava lamps." ;P ;P ;P
