Has there been a specific incident at your place of work, Hil, that would garner that particular kind of request?

Nothing that I know of. I mean, there's a preacher who's always standing outside one of the buildings telling everyone that they're going to hell, but he's been there for about 30 years.

MAybe it's like my last job before we separated from ING with the posters encouraging people to come out of the closet. Step 2: Address issues raised by de-closeting.

Man, I told some recruiter we'd talk this afternoon, and I feel chained to the house. I wanted to go look up Gustav Dore either in the bookstore or the library.

Here's some Dore while you wait, ita. [link]

Timelies all!

I started feeling shaky(literally) after finishing my session on the treadmill. Dunno why. I ate some almonds, maybe that will help.

Whom do you think will be elected POTUS first, an Atheist or a gay person?

I've wondered that myself. But separately, to get to Hil's initial post, I have finally learned the importance of listening to someone's concerns (and validate them) without trying to add my own concern in. It's one of the the things I've learned from people I follow on Twitter.

Whom do you think will be elected POTUS first, an Atheist or a gay person?

Gay. I have no evidence, but given how strongly faith pervades Presidential campaigns, I doubt an avowed Atheist would get much traction.

That's what I've always thought, Juliana.

Wow. I once gave a presentation in a mathematics class on topology, which include a largely failed attempt to fold a doughnut. This would have come in handy.

I agree with that, but it'll be a long time for either, I'm sure. (Of course, who knows what "a long time" is! I would not have thought we'd have a black president yet, either...)

Jesse, right? Also I totally thought the first Black president would be a Republican (Powell or Rice) because enough Dems would cross over to make history. I was wrong wrong wrong.
