Toronto life

I know this is probably mad old but as you probably know I am way out of the loop when it comes to T.O. news. I saw this when I should have been hard a t work typing or something. I usually type stuff when I want to look busy or need to impress a higher up. I keep an openoffice document open on my desktop and copy/paste a report I did over a year ago into it. Make some small changes like the date and title so whenever somebody pops there head in my cubicle I click on the doc and act like I am massaging my temples. The funny thing is that nobody has noticed and I have been promoted 2 times in a year. I have gone from working in a small suburban school to managing one of the larger b schools in CBD. It just means I have more time to surf the restricted web for dumb stuff. Now, when I say restricted I mean any page containing any of the words deemed naughty by the company's software. If you click on a blog for example...youwillsoon or something the pop up comes up telling you that there is no facking way you can view this page. That is why I used the word fack when writing on this blog. It allows to check my own blog from work. Speaking of software, is there anything it can't do? C'mon man! A year ago I used to have to chase down teachers and ask for schedules (on paper), visas, invoices,change of phone numbers etc. I am talking about everything under the sun. Now whenever they log in a window reminds them that they have to submit something to me and they do. This means 2 things: 1. I can be replaced by software and 2: I have to be diligent with my false document because someone could drop by my cubicle at any moment.
