Ok.. I've been holding this in for over a day and since I can't really tell any real person.. I'll tell the whole freakin' internet.
Yesterday my co-worker was absent from work but she told me she wouldn't be in on Monday and that I could finish a project she was working on (therefore I would be using her computer).
I use her computer all the time when she is gone to pick up her slack. We are both graphic designers and my team hired her to do my old job. So I know what needs to be done... its routine.
So I'm working on a layout, when looking over her notes, there was a picture missing from the layout.
I go out into our warehouse and shoot the product. I return to the Macintosh and hook the camera up to the Mac. If you use a Mac, it instantly brings up a download option and will put your selected photos into a folder that is predetermined unless specified in advance.
Well I didnt pay much attention and just downloaded the photos into the first available folder it brought up. And after you download the photos the macintosh will automatically shoot up the Folder in question.. showing thumbnails of the images in the folders.
Well I was shocked to see thumbnails of images that are not exactly worksafe. I couldnt believe it. These were images of my coworker and another coworker... thumbnail images of course but large enough that I could see what they were. I was embarrassed. Also glad I didnt bring one up accidentally in photoshop so the whole marketing department could see.. that would have been the end of the world.
Anyway.. I realized I need to remove my product photos from this folder so not to "show" that I was perusing the contents. So I did and quickly moved my product shots into a new folder. But really why would she leave these on her computer??
WEll that's the story... No I didnt steal them or copy them but what should I do??
Should I tell her and causes her and me massive embarassment?
Should I tell the co-worker/boyfriend that she's got some photos on the corporate computer? Or should I just keep this quiet forever. Which sucks cuz its such an awesome story.
