I had a meeting with my old boss about my last 6 months. It was okay. I felt like I was reading a report card.

Anyway, in most of my dealings with people, if I have a problem with someone, I go to them. Or else, I say nothing and let the problem fester. This is the same case at work. I'm not going to go to someone higher up with my problems if I've not tried to solve them on my own.

So my old boss told me that more than one person has gone to him telling that I seem to be MSNing all the time? WTF? He did not say anything to me about this because he didn't think it was a problem. I get my work done and do a good job.

So why are people checking up on me? And then tattling? If people have a problem with what's going on at *my* workstation, speak up! Are we not professionals working in an office? Why do people have time to walk around observing what I am doing? And what is their point of saying something to my boss? Are they the boss of me too? And shouldn't my boss have the best of idea?

Now I am just getting all worked up. 

This whole tattling biz is also just another sign that my work is not appreciated. I do the work of 3 people, and yet people ask, "doesn't Rosie have enough work to do? Why is she MSNing all the time?"  They never ask, "why doesn't Rosie ever leave her desk? Why is Rosie always eating there?" I eat 2 -3 meals here...but that could be just as big of an impediment to getting my work done.

FFS, people need to get a life or do some work. If MSNing was such a problem, it'd be banned from the office. But I guess they had to take such action, it'd be a contradiction to my "professionals working" bit. 

GAWD!
