I have never known anyone to leave "light shining behind him" but there is a guy in Admin that you can always tell if he has been in the restroom recently.
Speaking of the children....Take Kids to work day coming up next Thursday...I have to be here at 6:30 AM for set up of the meet and greet....makes me tired just thinking about it! Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the kids but it's the parents (employees) that act like animals for the freebies...It's not the kids! But remember...we are doing it for the children (wish the parents would remember that!)
Take the kids to work day must be a lot of fun though. I ask my ten year old what she thinks daddy does for a living and her answer is "make people cry."
Gotta meet the challenge of keeping this thread going, so I'll ask a question I've been wondering about. How does my dog and cat know to look me in the eye? Why don't they look at the mouth where the sound comes from, or the hand where the food comes from?
Interesting question. It must be instinctive across species because babies will also look you in the eye long before they know what eyes are or what they do. There's also a similarity across species in what eye contact means. When you know the person, eye contact is good. When it's a stranger on the street, you're expected to look away after brief eye contact or you'll be perceived as rude or maybe even threatening. Similarly, don't ever sustain eye contact with an unfamiliar dog. This is perceived as a bid for dominance and may trigger an attack.
I'm not a city girl by any means but I've heard that you never make eye contact with anyone on a subway. Is that a way those feeling like sardines pretend they're not really there?
In some cultures it's thought of as disrespectful to look an elder person (i.e. parent or teacher) in the eye. I was taught just the opposite from my elders.
Also in some cultures, if you look at someone's baby, you have to touch it, otherwise it is considered that you are giving the baby an evil eye for their life. Of course this is baby as in infant NOT someone's significant other! For that you would probably get punched...in some cultures of course!!!

Maybe Ray can sound Revile on his tuba so others will chime in to keep Paul's thread alive!
No need to bring in to resort to the nuclear option (Ray and his tuba).

One person can't do it all by themself. Everyone will need to step up to the plate and hit a touchdown.
If you give 75, and I respond to every one of them, thats 150 which is only halfway home.
We can always resort to the nuclear option by mentioning I-9 verifications, myspace.com, Hillary Clinton, or not hiring smokers.
Right now the key is to pace yourself.
Don't worry, I'll check on your progress in the morning :-)
We are doing this for the children.

I find that when I look my cat in they eye he turns away. My guess is he feels bad about something he has done.
