May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! (I realize this is probably A Thing That People Know, but I did not!)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh yeah, we went to a Pompeii exhibit in museum down here when I was growing up. It must have been a big deal traveling exhibit, but all the phallic statues were startling to elementary school-aged me.

Our wings are not tired.

Need some lawyer-related business advice, if you're willing.

At my past company, every regulatory submission I created had the application number, "CONFIDENTIAL" and the page n of x stamped at the bottom (in a row across). It was standard, and we did it across all documents.

At current job, boss says that to stamp "confidential" on the bottom of a page that already has "confidential" on it elsewhere actually degrades the strength of the implied confidentiality. So instead of using my page stamper on the entire (sometimes hundreds of pages!)document, I have to painstakingly go through the entire doc and only stamp "confidential" on the pages without that word already somewhere on the page.

So, this seems silly to me. Is it true that the "confidential" more than once degrades the concept? I'd love to know if this is a myth she heard somewhere or if it's true.

It seems silly to me too.

Sophia, I use a software program with a stamping tool - sorry I wasn't clearer on that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That is extremely dumb. Two confidentials make a non-confidential? Where it's completely common to stamp every page confidential? WTF?

ETA: like what court/regulator is going to say, "well, this page says it's confidential, but this stamp also indicates it's confidential, so clearly the intention was to disclose this page exclusively."

Is Gmail being wonky for anyone else or am I just in the office corner with crappy wifi?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's good for me.
