Company Policy
March 2nd, 2009
So, today was my first day back at The Workplace. I was nervous and extra socially awk, but I manged to make it through the day without setting anything on fire. Or farting. Out loud.
Get this: While scanning the company handbook, I happen to read a blurb that specifically prohibits blogging about The Workplace or things that happen at The Workplace.
WTF? I’ll be spending 24 hours a week there and I’m not allowed to tell you anything about it? Not even using pseudonyms and lies poetic license? Well, you’ll notice that I came straight home from work and promptly violated company policy. Look at me! I’m the new Dooce!
Anyhow, I felt super cute in my new work clothes. I was hoping to get a wink or nod at my new found hotness, but instead I got guys drooling over my G1. Geeks, I swear. I had cleavage for MILES and I kept hearing about my damn phone.
Also, let’s talk about my shift. In theory, 10-7 sounds wonderful. No early rising, Maddie doesn’t spend all day in dayare, less traffic on the road… The downside is that I work until 7:00 PM. It was the longest effing day of my life. It was DARK when I left work. As in NIGHT TIME. I ate dinner at 8:00 at night, for crying out loud! Honestly, who works until 7, anyway? Communists, that’s who.
And me.

Just hearing you talk about working until 7 makes me sleeeepy. The upside is pretty huge though.
My mom works from 11-9 each day. I don’t know how she does it. But she really enjoys not getting up early in the morning.
Well, that G1 is pretty cool… lol
At least it will start getting dark later so maybe it will still be light at 7!
Do Commies wear cute shoes?
Look at me! I’m the new Dooce!
ROTFL! My god, what is their problem with blogging about them? I honestly do not think most people know what blogging even is, really I don’t.
And lol at Commies, too. You sound happy, I think maybe going back to work was stimulating for you?
Your workplace clearly does not understand about Web 2.0. I think you should take it upon yourself to educate them!
I love how you immediately went home and violated company policy. Wow, I can’t believe policies now state stuff like that…I guess I better check my work policy!
Erika,
I totally feel your pain working till 7 is hard. The only thing that saves me is that I have plenty of time to walk the dog and or go to the gym in the morning. You will get used to it and it’s not so bad when it stays lighter longer.
Good Luck!
I work in the evenings too. My days aren’t that long because I’m reaaaaally part time and don’t go in until later but getting out at 7 or 8 does make for a strange rhythm of the days. BUT soon it WON’T be dark when you get out and that? Is teh awesomeness!
