I AM the IT Manager in a buisness the same as posted. In a small buisness, everyone usually needs to wear multiple hats.
Why do your employees need to wear many hats? Are these hats necessary for the different jobs they do? Or is it a requirement that they use stupid, meaningless business jargon?
It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons. --Douglas Adams.
Hell, is it even possible to travel by sea anymore in something that isn't a luxury liner disigned for vacations? I'd love to travel by ship (at least one way) for my bi-annual-must-visit-the-parents-in-New-York trip from London.
I saw one of these at a cemetary in London. Just one on its own was interesting and poignant, but I couldn't imagine a whole plot full of them -- I'd feel like I was in an electronics store.
That being said, I know that in Nunhead Cemetery there is a section where people have their photograph included on the tombstone. It's very unsettling to look at all the old people looking back at you. This is just the next step.
Grandparent: If it is possible to become 'invincible' in the game, its not the fault of the person who used it, its the fault of the gaming company for allowing it to happen.
Parent: Same logic: If I stab someone, it's not MY fault, it's the fault of the government for not outlawing knives.
No, it's God's fault for making people who want to stab people.
The spokesperson, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, denied that the delay had anything to do with the movie's subject matter or the current political climate.
I'm not buying it that a movie about terrorism in London just happens to get delayed at this time.
It got me through many a physics class and come September I'll be teaching it to my students. They'll think it's lame, just as I did, but they'll remember.
This is NOT the time for (deliberately) anomalous behaviour on public transit.
OK. We'll have everyone sit on their asses doing nothing interesting until when it IS the time. How long should we wait? One month? A year? Five years?
I keep an online dairy (I also hate the word blog) as a way to keep in touch with friends and let everyone know what I've been up to. I'm terrible at writing letters/emails to people I care about individually but I can manage to write one letter for everyone and make it public so those who are interested can read it.
Why not just email my whole address book? Two reasons: 1) I don't want to presume that they all want to know about what's going on and 2) people whom I've lost contact with can easily find me (which has happened a lot). Admittedly it's a lot less personal that way, but it's a price I'm willing to pay. Also, to my endless suprise, other people are actually interested in the journal and I've made a few friends through it.

In grade four, I was lending novels to my teacher, and was surprised at how long it took her to bring them back.
Perhaps that's because a grownup woman has a lot more that needs to get done in a day than an eight-year-old boy.
I honestly don't see the point of an online diary.

So how'd we fare this time around? Well, we're glad to report that the removal of cold, impersonal email from our workplace reminded us of the value of getting up and talking with each other, reforging lasting connections that will do far more for us than any fancy software system could ever do. Yeah right. And then we went out and planted a tree.
Everyone should always assume that anything they post on the internet will be somewhere forever
The problem with that assumption is when things change in your life that you didn't expect. I've been operating under the everything-will-be-on-the-internet-forever model for most of my online life and things have been fine. But recently I've become a teacher. Now there's a lot of stuff I don't care about my friends/family/co-workers reading... but my students? That's a whole other story.
