I just heard about someone I know who is quitting her job and keeping her day care situation.

That seems economically improbable. Day care is not exactly cheap.

"Whether or not it’s fundamental for [disabled students] to get into that student union annex or that it’s fundamentally important for them to obtain an education, I would question that,” Hebert said in the deposition, which is now making the rounds on Youtube. “I’m not sure I would regard it as a high priority.”

Oh, to have been a reporter present with a live mike and the opportunity to ask "So you're saying that you don't regard the educational services provided by your university to be fundamentally important? Does that mean that your alumni would do better to make their charitable contributions to an institution that does place a high priority on providing a good education to its students?"

I'm shocked by how many people are just wandering around the Mission during the middle of a weekday.

There's also the fact that a lot of employers here (especially in SOMA and the Mission) are casual about work hours, as long as you get your shit done. So, for example, you can take that 3 hour lunch at Tres Agaves. You could even possibly count it as working, especially if your company's likely to get mentioned in Valleywag.

That and creative fields tend to have casual work hours too.

I'd be day person right now, except I'm spending my days in the house. Hermits don't count.

That seems economically improbable. Day care is not exactly cheap.

Her husband is apparently doing Quite Well.

I just heard from an out-based coworker that when she calls me, I sound filled with dread! I feel so bad, because what I actually am is relieved! I will be much perkier on the phone with her moving forward.

Don't forget that unemployed people count as Day People, too. Although if the day people had fistfuls of cash in their hands, they probably weren't unemployed....

I don't know, I kinds enjoy the thought that everybody walking around outside during the middle of the day just plays hooky and each and every one of them wonders secretly what everybody else is doing outside, while this everybody-else wonders the very same thing.

Day care is not exactly cheap.

Here, there are several mothers I know who pretty much only manage to cover day care with their salaries, give or take a bit (usually when there's more than one child involved). It's crazy.

That's why we only have part time daycare, although that will change once Franny starts school (but aftercare is cheaper than daycare).
