eggwards✱Just remember, the Supreme Court today decided that city councils, county commissions and such can now take away your house so there can be a Starbucks there if they think that it would be economically better for the community. Great.
Property Rights, just another right being eroded away in this country. Maybe this one will actually get some attention from the majority party - maybe if Wal*Mart wants to plop a store down on Bill Frist's home. We could only hope.
✱At work we now have the "Clean Desk Policy". Everyone's desk must be cleared of any client information every night before you go home. Believe it or not, this hadn't been mandated before 2005, so we're only six months out of compliance. Let's hear it for us.
So, here's something that seems to be common sense, don't leave out sensitive information where other people, including the cleaning crew can see it. Strangely, this is just occurring to the industry now. We've actually needed a committee to create a whole slew of procedures and policies on the subject, and not one of the supervisors has actually been told how to implement the set of policies that go into effect next week.
Of course, since I'm usually the last management member on the floor most nights, guess who gets to look at everyone's desks looking for violators. I get to be the narc. I don't want to be the narc. Damn it, I just want people to be responsible for their own stuff.
Luckily I rarely have a problem with the rule myself, since I try to stay away from needing to have customer information saved from day-to-day. I leave that to my team. I just work to make their jobs work, and that they work their jobs. Now as a part of that, I have to make sure that we're all in compliance by going through their desktops. To me that feels like a violation, since I wouldn't want them to go through my desk.
✱Prepping for Houston Pride this year, I'm happy to see that the Strangerettes will be in the parade again, and there will actually be a real festival this year. Unfortunately the festival is before the parade, in the heat of the day (the Parade kicks off at 8:45 pm). still, it may be worth going to since there will be performances by (take note![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
