ARGHHH! Who put this HIVE here?!

[Aeson]

I have to explain to my boss why I've been on the internet over 11 hours this week.

how do I explain that the job is boring and I need something to keep me from going insane? Or how the job can be stressful at times and I need a break without leaving my desk?(which I do when I can.)

I'm nervous about this.

Hmm just glad they haven't checked mine though I have cut down a lot, hmm you might be lucky they've only checked the week with 11 hours, can't you blag you left the window open.
It might be bad to lie but say you were waiting for a message about a friend/relative you were really stressed about so you checked in every now and then just changing windows.
Depends how deep they are checking whether they'd bite on that or not.

Worst comes to the worst tell the truth, the problem should only come if its been affecting your work.

I'm sure they can tell what I'm looking at as well as how long. While some of my time is spent on news and wikipedia not all of it is.

I don't have enough work to keep me busy the whole night. I've even thought of asking if I could help the associate support team to have more things to do.

I think this is a warning that I'll need to cut my usage but I'm still worried that I can lose my job. This is the best job I've had and I don't want to lose it for something like this. It does NOT impact my productivity. I do NOT let it interfere with getting my job done.

In his email he mentioned that some times we might leave the browser open and it looks like we've been on when we actually haven't. He's giving me an excuse in his email. Some times that is true.

Waiting to hear from friends that I can only talk to online is what I do sometimes. I just don't think that will be enough of a reason.

Well it seems like he's decided conciously or sub-conciously to give you a life line, it looks like a typical management slap on the wrist now when you're in there your plan is to say you left the browser on and then try and change the focus of the conversation into wanting to attain more responsibility at work, could actually work out well for you, not that in any way shape or form I'd like to be in that situation myself but still.

Hmm chinese curry and chips maybe hmmmm

I hope that they do not get mad at you Aeson. I really do not know what advice I can give you though.

Then should I admit to how little work I have to do?

I do see the weirdness in turning to folks on the internet about my internet use. This fact has not gone unnoticed.

It's keeping me up. I should be in bed asleep but I can't stop worrying about this. I won't be able to sleep.

I would try and go to sleep if I were you. Being tired is not going to help when you have to go to work.

If you have to cut back on time spent online at work, then maybe you could find a book series you like to read. So you could read at work instead of being online. I like having you here, but I do not want you to lose your job.
