The other day, at the "day job," we got insanely busy right around the time I normally head out. When things eased a bit, I told my boss that I was going to inspect the facilities, then leave.
"I have been trying to get to the men's room for over 45 minutes, chief."
"Big deal. I've been trying to get some lunch for four hours."
"Yeah, so? There's one major way that our respective situations are not analogous."
"And what's that?"
I tossed the last remark over my shoulder as I raced down the hall. "You could snack!"

Please get this into your head:
None of us gives a damn. Think before you write. This isn't you personal diary.

Somebody,
Unless you are Kevin A, your opinion means about as much as what Jay left in the restroom.

Hmmm, maybe somebody didn't notice the filed under Personal part? Now why would a blog have a Personal section for its authors to file things under? Perhaps it could be for things that happen in life that might be, I duno, Personal? Almost like a diary...hmmmm

Faith+1,
You can't expect everyone to understand the plain meaning of Personal, can you?
Perhaps somebody saw "Personal" and thought it would be about him...then got pissed when it wasn't.

paul, you agree with somebody? No great surprise there -- you two are using the same IP from India to post from.
(Note I said "India." It was definitely not OUR Paul commenting here.)
