By replying to multiple posts in one response, she is actually producing less discrete posts than she otherwise would have. So wouldn't her actions actually be bad for productivity?

Nope. That was pure coincidence. Our matching outfits and fanny packs, however -- totally planned.

I inspire people to post. STFU.

And I assume that your use of both "less" (in the smaller quantity sense) and "discrete" to modify the same thing was a joke?

don't you know a substantial percentage of the board skips ppnyc's posts AND replies thereto? here I ask the most important question asked so far this AM and you bury the answer in a post 50% of the board might well scroll by- just apologize.

You are confusing quantity with productivity. Board productivity is an elusive concept that you may not yet fully understand.

We know that you're all hungover and shit, but there's no need to park your dark cloud of negativity over the board. I'm a little hungover, too, and yet I'm all about the positivity.

Try Piraat. It is tasty, strong as hell, and is called "Pirate" but in a different language, which makes it kind of gay and thus cool.

I don't believe that you are actually afraid.

Then why is surgery scheduled 6, 9, and noon? If the space is rare, some docs should be working the afternoon shift.

But I don't, because I'm not a sucker, and learned that at least in the law, if you're gone at 6pm, it doesn't matter whether you've billed 7 hours by then or 12, you're a slacker who goes home early.


So I think it's TM's 2d point.
