ION, I'm home sick and asked my minion to figure something out online for me. She wrote back saying it looks like you have to register on some site to figure it out. OK...so register! I'm not so sure about this new minion.

I wasn't kidding, though the hood got put back on.

My wife sent me info on the rules for the "debate" tonight.

The Obama-McCain event tonight consists of two parallel press conferences that happen to be in the same room. The detailed rules hammered out by the two campaigns state that the questions were to have been submitted in advance by the audience members and over the Internet. The questioner may not change the question and the microphone will be cut off after the question. Neither the questioner nor the moderator, Tom Brokaw of NBC, may ask followup questions. The candidates may not question each other. There will be no debate at all.

Sounds boring, which probably favors Obama.

You need to instill more fear in your minions.

I'm not so sure about this new minion.

Did Minion call you in a panic and keep saying "why does this keep happening to me?"

Maybe that was just my day yesterday though.

I would have ask the same, Jesse. If I'm new to a workplace, and not sure about the policy of registering myself to sites in order to check things. Not out of laziness or short sight, but because of information security.

Dear Gud - at least they don't have an old washer on the porch and several junkers up on cinder blocks ... yet.

I almost wish she would panic more. Maybe I do need to instill fear!

This is her first office job, so I think it's just not knowing to take the next step.

I guess it's different when it's your boss calling and panicing, huh?

Ha ha, yeah. Ugh.

Oh, minion did register for the site, and as me, which I wanted but hadn't mentioned, so that's good. I just need to be more directive, I think. I was so spoiled with my old minion!

Understood. Still, age factor wins here. She has my Fellow-Young-Persons-Starting-Life sympathy. And so do you.
