I really think it depends on the boss. When I worked in events, I had bosses who wouldn't expect for me to deal with work outside of hours except when event was in final planning or going on.

My boss now, in finance, has only tried to reach me twice out of normal work hours.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry if the conversation is upsetting, Suzi. I just hate having all this anger and not knowing what to do with it. Yelling at the TV only gets you so far.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My point is that 1)a lot of people arguing against health care reform are terribly afraid that they will have to pay so that people somewhere doing something they don't approve of will get care and 2) a lot of the things they think are frivilous expenses are not.

Pretty sure I knew someone who put off getting something checked out for lack of insurance. She's dead now.

I don't carry my cell phone. It pretty much lives on a shelf in the front room. I did carry it on the trip, where it wouldn't work, but that's just because I forgot to leave it in the car. It was rather funny. I've gone into work on a weekend to take care of something I saw checking my work email, but mostly I don't check it from home. I've never gotten a work call at home. But my job is like that. There's very little that can't wait until morning. It's not rocket science...oh. Well, mostly not.

And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be dead in Canada, England & France.

Tell it to Stephen Hawking.

Which, hey, you could do. Because he's also not dead.

I think an important point is being missed. If someone dies with private or no insurance, then they just die. If they die with socialized health care, then they become the undead and prey upon the living. This is why all vampires originate from Europe. Think about it.
