KristinT - I'm guessing it was the same person you guessed and for the same reasons plus his mom is at the hospital and I bet he'd like to see Veronica too. They have one or two things to talk about, you know?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

IWF cracks down on illegal porn at work:
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has launched a campaign to crackdown on child porn in the workplace. It claims that many IT managers are unsure about what to do if they found illegal material on their servers and wants to raise awareness about to do.
A survey of 200 IT managers found that three quarters of those quizzed would not report employees caught downloading indecent images of children to the police, while four in ten companies surveyed would not even discipline or dismiss an employee caught up to no good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oops, I beleive I have hugged Jesse. The Hugging Force is strong within me and I try to remember when I meet folks whether they are non-huggers, but I get all excited and fergit. I never patted someone's belly without an invitation, though, because, ew.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
no stranger ever laid a hand on my belly.
Try riding the LA subway at 30+ weeks. Small, older Hispanic woman would rub and rub and rub like I was a freaking crystal ball. But they were sweet, too.

I always want to pat pregnant bellies, but I always refrain. It's hard though.
Not too long ago, I ran into a former co-worker and spoke to her for at least five minutes before she mentioned she was pregnant. Then I looked down and there was a considerable bump. Whoops.

All the IT people I've ever known, when they find porn, copy it to the private tech servers then delete it. When stupid employees complain about missing files, a quiet email goes to them asking if they really want their complaint dealt with in a way that the bosses will find out about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Here it would just get you fired. Knowing what to do about illegal porn isn't hard. Doing it is probably harder.
I'm not sure if you'd get fired for the legal stuff, but you should.

Our wings are not tired.
Tummy oogling never bothered me and I don't think it's considered rude.
Many people oogled, patted, and rubbed my belly. I must be approachable or something. It didn't bother me. One of my jock friends was all jealous because my abs were harder than his. Round and protruding, but hard as a rock. He patted in awe.
