Spike ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It shouldn't be seen as a sign of laziness or evasiveness, though.
No, it really shouldn't -- the amount of schedule flexibility is as much a part of the job as, say, the amount of travel expected. Everyone has those days of needing to stay home waiting for the plumber to show up, and it's reasonable to want to know if you'll be getting things done and calling in to meetings, or counting those against your vacation time.
Or single people with children, or with elderly family in or out of town, or special needs pets, people with medical conditions whether temporary or permanent.
Today, with the move most people were working from home and probably more productive than those of us who showed.

On 5pm on a Friday!
I am spitting mad right now. Should I tattle on him to our boss (a few weeks ago I had a meeting about this guy with boss, about how rude he is).
I'm shaking angry.

Agreed -- it's not tattling, it's documentation of a known issue.
the hard thing is that he's such a bad communicator I can't even relate the conversation accurately. So not what I want to deal with today AT ALL
In perhaps slightly brighter news, the guy who insulted me in class the other week got an incomplete in one class for his absences and will have to take it over again. I know he has Issues with a capital Ish (including a brother-in-law who committed suicide a month ago) so I'm not taking 100% Schadenfreude on this circumstance, but honestly his behavior has made it hard for anyone to sympathize too much.

Well, as I tried to explain yesterday, potentially criminal activity on the loan-writing level did not cause the credit crunch; again, you have to prove fraud with regard to the securitization and ratings agencies. I would not hold the position that every single mortgage was properly papered. Every time there is a major market movement downward, people want to find a criminal who apparently "caused" all this, but that's an overly simplistic view.
