Female "On The Job Diarist" Get's Double Whammied

You'll see this woman in some Lifetime "made for TV movie" and on a few daytime talk shows in the upcoming weeks and months along with a left wing book deal being portrayed as the poor ol' victim in all this I'll bet.

Iowa Woman Fired for Journaling at Work, Iowa Woman Denied Unemployment Benefits After Being Fired for Journaling on Company Time - CBS News: "(AP) An administrative judge has denied unemployment benefits to a woman who was fired from her job for keeping a journal detailing her efforts to avoid work.

Emmalee Bauer, 25, of Elkhart, was employed by the Sheraton hotel company as a sales coordinator in Des Moines. While on the job, she kept a handwritten journal. A supervisor told her to stop writing on company time, but instead, Bauer wrote her journal, all 300 single-spaced pages, on her work computer.

In the journal, portions of which were introduced during a recent hearing regarding Bauer's request for unemployment, Bauer describes her efforts to avoid work.

'This typing thing seems to be doing the trick,' she wrote. 'It just looks like I am hard at work on something very important.'" continued

Below are some of the full comments she made left out of the article above by CBS pulled from the DesMoines Register Blog of Clark Kauffman:taken from the public hearing transcripts:

- "I am going to sit right here and play Elf Bowling or some other nonsense. Once lunch is over, I will come right back to writing to piddle away the rest of the afternoon. ... I have almost 100 pages here! I wonder how long that's going to take to print?"

- "I don't feel like doing a single worthwhile thing today. It's 11:00 and so far I have stuck to that. ... I have managed to waste half of the day doing nothing constructive. That isn't exactly an easy task, either."

- "It's noon already and I don't feel like I have accomplished a damn thing. Accomplishment is overrated, anyway."

- "I just have to get through the next seven hours and forty-six minutes and then I will be free."

- "(I have) an hour of time that needs to be wasted - I mean 'spent wisely.' I know, that's a crock. I am only here for the money and, lately, for the printer access. I haven't really accomplished anything in a long while ... and I am still getting paid more than I ever have at a job before, with less to do than I have ever had before. It's actually quite nice when I think of it that way. I can shop online, play games and read message boards and still get paid for it."

Quality stuff no doubt. Sounds like a perfect "made for the left wing employee" liberal colleges are turning out in droves nowadays and absolutely perfect for some government or politics related job after she's done with Montel and Oprah that is.
