10/25   JP Morgan Chase forecasts U.S. 3Q GDP -0.5%, falling to -4.0% in 4Q

10/25   I embrace socialism and white women.  Seriously.
        \- you may wish to see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1105762
        \_ same here. I am young, hard working, and smart, yet I'm not
           getting the same piece of piece as the older generation. Why?
           Because capitalism IS NOT WORKING. I have nothing to lose
           and everything to gain by voting for Socialism. Bring it on.
           Young people of American, let's all vote for socialism NOW!!!

10/25   is dating coworkers bad?
        \_  work love is off limits - it just is. but when you rewrite queries
            with more joins than conditions...the faster they run, the hotter
            i get.  aw jeez...i'm a prude in the office - ... until you.
            when you're reviewing something and you say 'hmm', my knees get
            weak and i start thinking about that sound...and what it would be
            like to hear you say it in my ear, on my neck. when you yawn at
            your desk and stretch so your shirt rides up... i want to kiss the
            side of your tummy where it's so soft...and slide to the front
            where you're fuzzy in just the right sexy way... and i think of
            your hands on me, your breath in my hair, feeling you between...
            oh sweet jesus - select * from what?? i can't even think anymore.
            stop stretching, stop emoting, just fucking stop breathing.
            you're killing me. just fall for me already so we can... over and
            over, constantly...
        \_ It depends, but in general it is a bad idea. If you really insist,
           make sure that it is not someone who either you report to or who
           reports to you and be prepared to quit if things go sour.
           \_ Is dating a co-worker bad when there is no reporting relationship
              but both she and I have separate spouses?
              \_ This is a disaster for your career if this ever gets out.
                 Do you want to be a code monkey your whole life?
                 \_ this is at a startup of only 50 people
                    \_ how does that make a difference, or are you implying
                       that you're already a code monkey for life?
                       that you're already a code monkey 4 LYFE ?
