[Cadaverous Pallor]

Update, in case anyone cares.

The warnings from our myriad bosses continue. We've received 3 more reminders since I last posted here about it, one actually mentioning not to play solitaire on the computer. The last one was from the Biggest Boss Lady repeating that they are going to take away access from us, which they haven't done yet.

I've weaned myself off of it and now read books at the desk. IMHO this looks worse to the patrons than surfing (since it looks like we're working) and it makes it harder for me to notice someone waiting (when I'm using the computer my head is up, when I read my head is down). But hey, it beats staring off into space. We've also been cautioned to keep our talk down to a minimum and to not talk about stuff in front of the patrons. It sounds obvious, but you try sitting still for 10 whole minutes at a time unable to do anything. If they come after us for reading, THEN I'm going to say something.

It's been tough. Surfing is an automatic thing for me.

I can still post from my morning job, like now. But as of next week things are going to be rather busy for me here, so I probably won't be able to do it often.
