Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was unaware of my actual time spent online. I believe much of it has to do with leaving the browser open when I am not actually using it. As Night Operators we sometimes have times when we are waiting for jobs or reports to complete, I will use this time to catch up on the news and other information. Some of my time online is spent preparing to take the A+ exam and looking for classes I can use to further my career here.

I will make every effort to monitor my own usage from this point forward. I do not want to do anything to jeopardize my employment.

Tonight I will speak with (Insert Direct Supervisor's Name) about ways we can better prioritize my time given work flow. Additionally, I have technical skills which could be helpful to Associate Support during the night shift. I will speak with (IDSN) about the possibility of utilizing those capabilities to fill downtime between (insert normal tasks).




With the properly inserted names of course.

Once that is sent off I need to decide if I'm going to try to get some sleep or not. As I said earlier I wanted to go in early meaning in less than 4 hours from now. I was thinking of taking the PTO tonight but in light of this email I'm not sure I should do that.

I am taking three English classes and a Philosophy class. My American Literature class has turned into a "American Religious History" class though, and how everything in American history relates back to the Puritans. The arguments the professor makes are good, I just want to groan everytime something relates back to them.

No problem.

And I agree. You're best bet is to go in tonight for your shift, and PROVE you mean what you say. Talk to your supervisor, and stay off the Net for the shift.

Take the PTO on a different night.

Ugh... I had a professor that did that which was annoying since the literature span the course of the 1800s - 1920s. Basically that professor's theory was that the early 1800s was a reaction to the reaction to the Puritans.

I sent the reply. We'll see what happens. I'll talk to my manager since he was copied on the original and the reply he knows what's going on.

I tried calling one of my co workers to see if he got a similar email. I think he spends way more time online than I do.

My professor makes the same argument, and I agree with him on it. He has enthusiasm for the subject matter, and I think he is a good teacher. He grades very tough though. I just wanted to read more Literature and not Historical Documents. To be fair, most of early American Lit IS related to Religion.

Today was supposed to be the first day of my three day weekend. The museum told me that they'd need tme to come in and run an update to the security software this morning yesterday. That took a lot longer than I thought it would.

Anyway, whats new in here?

Just make sure that the Necronomicon is secure and that the Tablet of Akmenrah is set to the off position.

We don't have those there. It's a mineralogical museum.
