Now really… that wasn’t necessary…

I was supposed to go on a power plant tour today for AEP. It would have
been a nice little break from the inane (or mundane) work life I
already lead… my alarm didn’t go off. Thankfully (<== lots of
sarcasm) my body wakes itself up early anyway… so I got to see the
bus pull away in a ridiculous effort (by that I mean 90mph in a 25) to
still get there on time. So now I’m stuck at work actually working (yes
I know… poor Adam… but my day was supposed to be so much more
interesting than this). The upside to that is I won’t have to come in
after hours to run some reports I wasn’t able to do yesterday. I’m
going to dinner with Tara and Matthew tonight… so being here late
would have been a bad thing.

As much fun as breaking through
AEP’s security was… since I told security about it they decided to
scan my computer and send a pleasant (read horrifying) email to my
manager. I’m not in any trouble (I think/pray) since I told everyone
about it, but it really wasn’t necessary to press the panic button
AFTER I gave them a 14 page document describing my actions. Maybe they
were just sore they didn’t catch me on their own. Unfortunately,
because of this little fire drill, I”m not even allowed to listen to my
music anymore… which I suppose serves me right for breaking AEP’s
rules in the first place.

I really need to stop talking to people about some things. Yes, my own feelings are just being echoed back to me, but still… morals and ethics tend to get in the way (see post from July 18th…).
