Tune in a little on-line diversion
If you’re like many employees, you are probably in a situation where your personal computer has recently been upgraded.
So you’ve got a new high-end PC that features all the latest and coolest multimedia features, and a fast connection to the Internet. Speakers sit on either side of your monitor, and are most often silent.

Conversations
There you go, the entire exchange word-for-word. I’ve decided to wait until the whole drama unfolds to comment. But for now, I found this written by Arthur Tiersky which explains much better than I what I was thinking…
“Yes, Ted’s excuse sounded pretty lame, but I remain unconvinced that he had a conscious intention, knowing that he was on a national TV show and has a wife and newborn back home, to actually “get something going” with Ghandia. (more…)

Nikki goes to Diane with the truth about her baby instead of telling her supposed very good friend Jack first. What is up with that?
Can someone please explain to me why Nikki would go to confront Diane about what she found out about her baby and NOT go straight to Jack with this information? I just cannot figure that out! (more…)
