In my company's IT group's never ending quest to make things complicated, I am once again unable to go onto LJ at all at work.

It really sucks, because I'm sitting at the bloody computer all day, and all I want to do is occasionally take a break and catch up with my flist. I'm not looking at porn, and it isn't interfering with my work. Why do they do that? Why, oh internets, why?

I had a meeting with the parents of the girl who apparently Charlie's been harassing. Basically his intent isn't to creep her out, but he's doing it anyway. And, while I'm sure she has the 13 year old girl proclivity to over-dramatise, it doesn't mean she should ignore the creeped out feelings. That's not a lesson I want her to learn.

So I'm hoping now we've really put the fear of God or someone into Charlie and he'll control his impulses.

I was very upset yesterday, as you can imagine. I channeled that into my rehearsal where I blocked my scene as Andromache in Trojan Women. Holy cow but that is a depressing moment in literary history. I think even NOT channeling my upset-ness I will be able to cry like I did yesterday, because just thinking about the idea of a baby being taken from his mother and thrown off a wall is tear inducing. And as a mother, I can certainly tap into the fear of losing a child.

It's quite beautiful though; the whole thing. I'm really looking forward to the production.

So...I hope all is well with you guys. I have a '4 day weekend' so I can hopefully catch up then.

very sorry about the anti-lj thing at work.

i'm glad you've been able to get a little traction with charlie's situation. hopefully talking to the parents also helped alleviate stress on both sides.

Big US company now owns us, so no LJ, Facebook, Twitter, games-sites or any sort of blogs on works machines. Having a personal Blackberry with Twitter and FB apps is useful though! :-)

I'd love to see that scene if it ever goes online.


Also, I could walk you through setting up iGoogle for a reader? :D Also email alerts would work for you too, there are a ton of backdoor options for bunking off work.

Oh, that'd be awesome!

It's SO easy. As long as your company allows Google you can use it. basically if you have a gmail you use that name and password for iGoogle (you just log in at www.google.com) from there you can set up the things you like and add all sorts of things to the page. I used to check all my emails and my news feed readers on it when my old job blocked access. You may have to subscribe to the journals you want to check and add them to your reader (or add your Flist to your reader)

It's GREAT. :D
