Haha. I have to share this story now that you mention that. I found out
a technical writer I used to work with was fired because management one
day realized she hadn't done ANY work in the 8 months she had been
working for the company. And how were they monitoring her work, you ask?
--By checking the dates on the files she was supposed to be working on.
She would just open the files and save them everyday (and probably
played a lot of games and surfed the Web too...).
crazy stuff, huh?
