Occasionally, it works out that I can talk to The Guy online when I am at work. In down times, I can log on and chat with him. This helps since our schedules are as opposite as they can get. This week, I work 10pm to 8am. He works 8am to 5pm. I go to the gym at 6pm, have a nap from 7-9 and the day is done. So, we steal a brief half hour here and there to say hi and remind each other we still exist and do, in fact, like one another.
When I came into work last night, my team leader, Twoonie Tuesday, was sitting at the computer terminal where I usually work. He turned when I came in and said, "I think this was meant for you."
I looked at the screen he was gesturing towards. The program The Guy and I use to chat through had somehow logged me on when I wasn't there. Unintentionally, The Guy had written to my boss, "Hey there sexy lady."
I died of embarrassment right there and got online to explain to The Guy what had happened. I apologized fiercely to my boss.
He replied, "I think there is something you need to know about me and your boyfriend..."
I may never hear the end of the ribbing on this one.
Hee! Technology makes relationships so complicated. :)
ReplyDeletemy work has managed to firewall all chat programs. they even recently detected google mail chat. the bastards.
ReplyDeleteat least your boss was cool about it.
or... was it simply coolness? i dunno.
;)
You're boss was good on this. Cold silence or a long lecture on the correct use of email at work would have been WAY worse!
