How embarassed should I be?

[Beantown]

So I am in a management position at work and the owner came over to my desk to introduce a new equity partner. I didn't see them coming and I was watching ESPN on my cell phone. The cell phone was pitched up on my desk so I wasn't holding it. Also I was in the middle of writing an email so they could see I was clearly working.

We do have a very relaxed work environment but I still feel a little embarrassed about it. Am I making too much of a big deal of it?

Didn't you learn your lesson the first time?

Get off the internet.

If the person in charge of you saw you doing that, would they care? Really we'd need to know what kind of person this "equity partner" is. Is s/he the "lets make changes" type?

Yes.. but for many different reasons.

This. Your image takes years to build, and moments to destroy.

No they are just as relaxed. I wish it didn't happen but I think I overreacted.

The rule of thumb is, if you feel like you shouldn't be watching ESPN at work, don't.

You're probably going to get fired.

Imagine how embarrassed you'd be if they saw that nasty rep comment you left Archie.

The following quote from the classic comedy Super Troopers seems appropriate.

Mac: But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun!
Thorny: (referring to Farva) Yeah, and his shenanigans are cruel and tragic.
Foster: (after a pause) Which... makes them not really shenanigans at all.
Mac: (in a silly voice) Evil shenanigans!

Not at all? Take your TV from home to the office tomorrow and let everyone know who is boss.

The next person who says shenanigans is getting pistol whipped.

AS long as it didn't cause a kerfuffle, you should be ok.

Then you're gonna be fine.

Unless the "new partnership" is a hostile take over situation, and then I'd start looking for another job and quit before they can fire you.

I had a co-worker in my office fall asleep at their desk. I wouldn't have noticed until another co-worker was wondering where the snoring noise was coming from. I should have taken a photo for blackmail.
