Why the love for last minute work

Friday is 5.30 day. Not just for me but for everybody in the office. But at 5.30pm sharp, as I was about to scoot off from the dreaded workplace, I got called back from the lift. WTF! Given a stack of papers and a set of instructions. Well, 2 hours of overtime pay isn't too bad but I'm not used to leaving the office after the sun sets. Not cool at all. The bus was relatively empty but still took a whole hour to get to my bus stop. Couldn't they have said anything earlier? Or were they just too lazy to walk over to my desk. This could be the one disadvantage of not having a phone at my desk.

So I've scoured the internet for stuff to read and today I chanced upon this article on msn.com about getting fired for blogging. The best news so far is that I never EVER access my blog from work. Not to post, not to edit the template, not to view anything. I don't reveal sensitive information about the company I work for and thats where it stops. Does my company have blogging policies? I don't think so. Do I wanna ask the boss if it's ok to blog? Hell no. I wouldn't want him reading my blog. Apparently you are also not supposed to badmouth your co workers or something to that extent. The next question and answer would seriously put me in doubt. Although it refers to the law in New Jersey, whats to stop it from happening here?

Can my employer fire me if I blog from home on my own time?
Yes. The odds of your company perusing your blog is slim. "But if your boss should see your blog and be offended by something there, in most states you have virtually no protection against being fired," says Lewis Maltby, president of the National Workrights Institute in Princeton, N.J.

So much for free speech..........
