You work from home, you get unlimited sick days? You get a paid phone? (That's maybe not a benefit, I guess you can't sext, that'd be rough.)

Yup.

And I sext all day if I want. By the time they are pulling data and combing through my texts they have already decided to fire me, now they just want want evidence. I'm in an at will state. They wouldn't even need it

I'm laughing so hard right now.

That sounds empowering in a vague sort of way.

Then again, I'm on a company laptop billing hours at a consultant's rate while I send personal emails and read hubski. And I don't feel much different than usual. Surely someone is getting screwed over by my semi-fraudulent behavior but I can't put my finger on whom.

"Time theft." That's what the legals call it.

Oh yes. I am a time thief. And, sort of, a thief of more tangible things, since I am gladly staying in the nice hotel and tonight will take the nice rent car on a fucking joyride.
