coincidental because you look sort of pissed. lucky for us we all know you are just a sweet, happy monkey. couldn't harm a fly.


ETA - as to the substance of your point, just sounds like your run-of-the-mill consensual adultery to me. I wouldn't think an employment shop would be immune to that sort of thing...

I know nothing about Littler. What is it about this firm specifically that makes it so bad? Because otherwise, it's just an extramarital affair gone public. Embarrassing to the individuals, but does it really reflect that badly on the firm? It's not an uncommon thing. And it doesn't look like it poses a liability issue, if that's what you're getting at (thanks ncs).

And our paunchy old friend is apparently quite the stud. Isn't that good for business?

I hadn't noticed Katie's nose, but I don't think I noticed anything above her collarbones. As one of the few remotely attractive women in this year's group, I'm, um, pulling for her. Plus, she goes/went to UC Santa Cruz, so she must do the lesbian sex thing.

TIn answer to a question I posed last year about what is dumber than a box of Ahmad Rashads, we have the answer "Katie Gold, Mark Curry, and Angie Everhard." I am excluding Dennis Rodman because it will be revealed tonight that he is the Mole and was intentionally making wrong answers to questions like "Which hemisphere is the U.S. in?" Dennis - "The 10th." The others, however, could not answer such 4th grade level questions as "Which continent is the South Pole in."

Winners of this year's memorial Who is More Psycho Than Amanda From Hawaii Award on this season of the Real World - yes, Robin of the huge hooters, but bonus points are being given to Randy for realizing that the crying, yelling, swearing, hitting, getting arrested, freaking out, manipulative, psycho behavior from a girl he hasn't even fucked yet outweighs the huge tits.

Less (waiting for Super Millionaire because I will be pissed that I can answer the questions better than the tools they selected instead of me at my audition) inSF

But it's like having a partner of a tax boutique indicted for tax evasion. You should know better. It no look good to clients. Or maybe it just endears you to them, who knows. I'm not saying it was an impossibility, just that paunchy should know better than that, and know better than to email it. Silly rabbit.

She might have been careless about her password

This happens. A friend of mine discovered her husband's cheating by going into his personal account - he had left the password on a post-it note stuck to the (shared) computer screen.

So, my advice for today if you don't want to be caught cheating, in summary, is:

1. If you are a man don't all of a sudden start earnestly talking about the future.

2. If you are a woman, don't all of a sudden start having more sex with your husband; and

3. Don't leave your password to your personal email account (in which you've been receiving smarmy love emails) on a post-it note on your home computer screen!

I would think it would be good for business. If nothing else, he could serve as a clearly qualified expert on the difference between sexual harassment and just a little nookie off the ranch.

If I were a Littler partner, I'd be nominating him to be the piercings partner for the SF office.

The end is clearly near:

The Pudding has named Sandra Bullock its woman of the year.

This whole Harvard Porn thing is old news. Some Yale kids made a porn video a few years ago. Hell, my magazine (Rumpus: the Oldest College Tabloid) printed lots of nudie shots of co-eds, under the auspices of doing a story hailing a senior who came up with the best scam ever; getting the co-eds to pose nude for him as a photography project. The story was merely an excuse to print the photos, however.

Well, I can't speak to Littler but I know that my company would look very poorly on such behavior by those in its upper tiers. In fact, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if, again in my company, it resulted in someone being fired. We've had a couple of instances of behavior that have happened over my time here in which people have almost been fired or certainly, have been called on the carpet. And we had another instance in which the career path of the person involved has definitely been harmed.

Littler is one of the leading employment firms in the country. A big part of the practice is prevention, training and policies to avoid discrimination in the workplace, as well as sexual harassment stuff. Granted, this was consensual. But it's one of those "doctor heal thyself" situations. Eh, maybe I'm stretching.

Oh come on, nobody pays attention to any of that training anyway, because it takes up a whole day when you could otherwise be working, or, uh, posting shit on the internet.

In my old company, intercompany hookups could only help one's career -- and it's not that people had to fuck around with their superiors to get promoted. It was that management was full of horny people who liked knowing that the underlings were getting busy with each other.

Damn, that was a fun place to work.

Do they sing to tape tracks or live accompaniment? For several of them, it sounded like the accompaniment was setting the pace and not the singer and made the singer sound rushed. That would irritate me.

There was a live band; I thought they were quite awful last night (though not on Orange Colored Sky).

She's nuts. Painful to watch.

So the previews make it look like Cameron might hook up with the Bahston dude. I hope not. She could do better.

One has to wonder how it is he intercepted the email in the first place. Could this woman have been so stupid as to leave it on a shared computer for him to see? Or could the guy who sent it have been so foolish to send it to a shared account?

Obviously this woman needs some work in her ability to be deceptive without leaving clues around.


I cannot imagine how mortified I would be if I were she. Both because the letter of course reveals she is cheating on her husband, and also, because it reveals that this guy she is cheating on him with is kinda smarmy.*

*Hey what does smarmy mean anyway?

And yes, I mean because the letter was revealed to other parties.

According to husband, partner was an idiot and put it in a word document instead of an e-mail. My guess is that she opened it at home on a shared computer, and it ended up in a temporary folder on that shared computer. She read the e-mail, saw that there was an attatchment, hit the "open" option instead of the "save as" option and thought that when she closed everything, evidence would be gone. Husband gets on the computer, looks at either the temp folder or on some versions of windows, the "recent" folder, and finds the letter.

Kind of creating the news, eh?

Best Scam (non-sexual category) might have to go to this one (spree: Not Str8's mag, so watch out)

Ever had your firm ridiculed over the vast spread of the internet for it? Whole new factor.

I wonder what the CA divorce laws are like, in terms of, does she now get to support ex-hubby (based on her bigger income)?
