Lots of cool looking lightning on the crawl in to work this morning. We have the technology now to allow probably 30%-40% of the workforce to work from home, so why are we still draggin our asses halfway across town twice a day at the same time as everyone else? Anyone you speak to will tell you that they are more productive when they telecommute. Let's think about the pros and cons of this for a moment.
Some services would be cut backOverall though, I think the economy would correct itself. It would be bumpy at first, but its not exactly a bed of roses right now. In fact now would probably be the best time to do it - better to get all the bad news at once!
Last night, R. had to work late on a fund rebalancing. I helped her over the phone with a spreadsheet she was having trouble with. She works so hard, and has come so far - I am very proud of her (and a little jealous about how much she loves her job, if the truth be told!).
So I had a chance to sit down and work on the Tradition. I came up with the basic philosophy, and about 8 tenets. I was going to say I need one more, but I think I can run these tenets synched to the sabbats, so 8 will work just fine. I will write them up and post them maybe tonight. R. had to reschedule her training because of last night, so she's going to K's tonight instead.
Still, when she did get home, we had a pleasant interlude at bed time :>
Alright, better get this day underway I guess!

Today's Joke:
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists...
Two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances.
In side of this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!"
The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife."
The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job."
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out
with tears in his eyes." I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband.
She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.
She wiped the sweat from her brow, and said, "This gun is loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair."
Have a great Tuesday :)
