Working from home. Just sayin'.” (at Cambridge)

I mostly work from home. I don't miss Office politics or commuting. Having said that this afternoon, I have to drive across town to a client's office.
- Ian May
Today would have been a perfect day to work from home. Scratch that, most days are the perfect day to work from home. Reiterating mjc: LUCKY.

Nothing does wonders for the self-esteem like having two attractive women begin to sit down near you, realize what they've done, and move.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusion though. I move when the person stinks (b.o. or too much cologne) or if I'm going to talk to someone and don't want that person already sitting there to hear. Maybe they spared you having to overhear them talking about "female problems".

I wouldn't go THAT far, but I'm enjoying it. I think the content area is a little wider in this theme. But white space is good. That said, I'm underwhelmed by the current theme options.

That's a little too much whiteness for me right now but it is very nice and clean. I'm going with pretty purple flowers because, well, I'm girly like that. :)

Thinking about getting a cat to prepare me for retirement as an old lonely cat dude or something. With each passing day I'm more and more convinced that I will die alone.
Every time I get on friendly terms with a woman and things are going well, there is really a boyfriend in play that I'm not aware of until much later. EVERY TIME.
- Jared Smith
I used to feel the same way and worry about it. Now I feel the same way and live with out and have fun with it. I'm not a cat person, but the thought has crossed my mind. Realizing that not having a partner doesn't make me the person I am. My actions and words make me who I am. And actually, that's helped me become less materialistic and save money too.

Wikipedia reverted and then locked out his page after someone went it and edited it to show he died today.

I say leave the thread (you were justly cautious with the question mark), but maybe edit the title if you like.

I understand how you feel Johnny, but I'd leave it as 'evidence' of social media activity - that's the recovering academic in me speaking! Like Stephen, I'd amend the title.

I'd leave the thread up. You're widely followed, it might prevent more threads from popping up.

Politicians grapple with the most human elements of society: our reproductive rights, our marriage rights, our health care rights. But somehow it’s almost impossible to think of them as human. They wield tremendous power over our lives, and that can be frustrating, especially when they make judgments about who we love and who we lust after, what we can and can’t do with our own bodies. Many smother us with their own concepts of morality, and so we feel vindicated when they themselves cannot live up to their own standards. The hypocrisy is enraging. But so is our own.

As an SC citizen: I don't care who he stuck his peepee in, that's between him and his wife. I DO care that he was MIA for almost a week and left no official governing power in the state while he was out of the country.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Tina hits the nail on the head.

Reading the emails - it strikes me as to how human, raw, and embarrassing those are. Being a public figure leaves you open to so much. Oh - and Tina - I totally agree on him going MIA being a big problem.

+10 Tina. That's my beef here. I can't up and leave my job for five days with no notice or word on my whereabouts and it's nowhere near as important.
- Jared Smith
Yes, telling his peeps that he was hiking in the mountains, while he was winging it to South America is kind of a deal breaker. His fidelity notwithstanding, he's human, and a man and like Chris said, love (or rather the idea of it, perhaps) makes people do incredibly stupid things.

However, going AWOL without formally handing over the office to Bauer. lying about where he is and generally putting his sordid personal life above the operation of his state government is.

I would agree that going AWOL is the more serious offense, in terms of his responsibilities as governor.
- John
Also, it gives us a good credibility marker. Everyone who toed the "he had a hard session and deserves to unwind" personal party line is in that boat, putting the man above the office. We do way too f-ing much of that for my taste. This dude works for me and he just walked off the floor without getting someone to cover.

If I did the same thing I'd be fired. The abandonment is the real story and needs to be thoroughly investigated.
