“I’m very dissappointed in you”?? Does he think he’s your boss or your daddy? I hate it when asshole bosses talk down to people like that. What do you wanna bet he was “wasting company time and resources” at his computer not half an hour later…:rolleyes: ---

I used to care when my bosses would hit me with a guilt trip like that. Now my attitude is, “Do I do a good job? Do I do that good job on time? Yes? Then don’t worry about how I spend my time. Obviously I’m doing something right.” I used to care… I really did. I wonder what went wrong? ---

My boss doesn’t seem to care, as he is always logged on to [www.ratemybody.com](http://www.ratemybody.com) checking out all of the 18 year old ass. So, he doesn’t comment on my surfing the dope, and I don’t mention anything to his wife about the 18 year old ass. It works for us. ---

Too late for you, but a good response to have at hand is “No, not goofing off, just taking a little break - in lieu of going outside and smoking - to check my messages.” ---
