It went out to WHOLE REGION, not just me, so I shouldn't be unduly paranoid, but I immediately went about clearing out as much incriminating stuff as I could from the computer, although I know damn well if they want to bust me I am toast.
Now those who have been following my travails know that they've got better things to fire me for than this. However, if they're looking for an excuse, this would do nicely. This way they're not firing me for screwing up because I was overworked, but they're firing me for abusing the company's equipment.
I'm honestly torn between "Oh no, please don't look at all the naughty things that I've launched from my office computer" and "FUCK YOU! I'm busting my hump for you bastards and if I can't spend a few minutes every hour doing something for my self I'm going to go postal and if that's what you want to fire me over-BE MY GUEST!"
It head IT dude will be out here next week, presumably peeking and prying and trying to catch us doing bad things.
And the crowning irony is that one reason I've been hanging on to a job that makes me so miserable is ....access to the computer!
