  1. Re:If you enjoy your job, then why not? on Do Companies Punish Workers Who Take Vacations? · · Score: 1

    My story is similar. For a time, I was a freelance musician in Nashville. When I wasn't on the tour bus, I was home alone at my apartment. I would wake up and immediately think "should I make coffee here or go to Starbucks?" and Starbucks almost always won. Hop in the car, roll down the windows, enjoy the fabulous weather and the short ride to Starbucks. Drink the coffee, read the paper, come home, practice piano, then decide what I'm going to do the rest of the day. In the evenings, I checked out live music with friends, sometimes playing in various local bands. It was awesome, but I was poor. I wanted more money so I went back into IT. Now I'm married, have more money/assets then I ever have had in my life and I no longer live in Nashville. I still miss those days when I was poor, but I don't want to go back to *being poor* and living in a tour bus. Money isn't everything, but damn it sure helps.

    Let's ask Paul Revere to deliver it.

  3. First of all, how can anyone prove someone recorded video? If I'm holding out my camera, how do you know I'm not just taking a snapshot? Same goes for my mobile phone. You can't presume I'm recording audio and video without confiscating my device and searching for recordings.

    "the most serious threats are now coming from widely deployed software from less responsible companies (Adobe)."

    FAR less responsible...
