There are certain topics that should not be sent to or from company email systems. There are no privacy protections on company email systems. All email on company email systems (sent or received) belong to the company.

The N. O. mayor quote is one of those topics. As racist as his remarks were, it is private citizens--especially as employees--that could pay the price. I believe the quote you found is VERY appropriate and quite good and quite funny, but not on company email. I recommend deleting it from your in-box and out-box.

And who knows, maybe a Montana company owner might applaud the quote (privately), but a California non-profit company might not think it was so funny.

I'm really, really, REALLY sorry to nag or lecture, but people have been fired for less. If, for example, someone saw the email and complained, the company would have to do something, or it could be sued for condoning the atmosphere.

What's your home email address? Or maybe use the blog.

Looks like I might have a contract. The company I am subcontracting with and I are to meet with the state agence (First 5) on January 31 to finalize the contract. It's not a done deal yet, but it looks good.

I Think It's Safe

To me it feels like all the bad mo-jo or 'bad joo joo' or bad vibes or whatever is gone from the trailer. I think the aura has been cleansed. The air literally feels lighter out there.

… the other thing we didn’t do while Jess was here: Get rid of the oogalee-boogalies in the trailer.

The Forgotten George

George Harrison songs make me blue. Weird? Well I am. But when I hear them on the radio it tugs at my heart because it reminds me of how much we've enjoyed the Concert for George.

So when Here Comes the Sun came on the radio today, I had that familiar heart tug, but it was soon followed by "holy crap, I didn't watch the Concert for George when I was home".

I had planned to, but things got busier and busier. I can't believe that I didn't stop and watch it before I came home.

Don't suggest that I watch it here. It wouldn't be the same.

… and she danced.
