[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We've got the technology to have results-oriented employment, rather than ass-in-chair-for-hours employment.
My objection is two-pronged. I'm in IT for crying out loud. If anyone can make it happen, we can. Also, I'm salaried. I don't have to work 40 hours to get my job done--that should be the average. We all have to put in long days--how often do we get short days that don't involve docking some time pool or another?

Ironically, I did not realise that Raq was expressing that same idea. It took me forever to type my "woeismebutnotreallysinceicanputfoodonthetable" tale. If I've got to share a brain with someone, Raq is an awesome person with whom to do so.

Much employment~ma to your friend, Kristin!
I don't mind putting in the occasional 10-12 hour day at my job when it's something I like doing and when that's seen as a major OMG-she-really-worked-her-ass-off-to-make-deadline kind of deal.
Jobs where 10-12 hour days are seen as just the normal run of things? No. It's not good for me physically or mentally and after a point my work quality suffers.

Kristin, that would rock! I so hope it works out!

Hardly ever. I have a BlackBerry, cell phone, VM, and a laptop computer. One, and more often than not 2, of those things is with me at all times. I am NEVER out of touch, with the boss, cow-orkers, or clients. Yet I get dinged if I'm not in the office. God forbid I work from home for what could be considered a superficial reason. @@ Do I ever get extra credit for working later than I should? Nope.

ION, I laughed at this bit from Salon's "I Like To Watch" column:
In fact, when it comes to other people's lifestyles, most of us are accepting as long as one or more of the following are in the mix: a) food, b) fame, c) hot people, d) extreme wealth, e) charity or f) an infant. This is why Brangelina can do no wrong: They look good, they're loaded, and they've always got a baby tucked under one arm while they write a personal check to the starving peoples of the world with the other one. The only way they could increase their popularity is by toting a big Gucci bag filled with Spaghetti Bolognese around with them.
