…a co-worker (usually of the opposite sex)[1] with whom one shares a special relationship, having bonds similar to those of a marriage; such as, special confidences, loyalties, shared jokes and experiences, and an unusual degree of […]
Halloween marks the opening of the office Pot-Luck Lunch Season, which lasts roughly until the American Football Super Bowl in January.
Yes, every time you turn around, there’s a sign up sheet for a gathering in the conference room.

A while back, we discussed if parents get more time off from work than non-parents, and, Self Made Mom brought up a good point.
She stated in the comments that she feels that she isn’t as “present” at work as her colleagues who don’t have children.

We’ve all read various and assorted workplace etiquette tips over the years.
We’ve also read that the office is a “new environment” with a younger generation of employees who do things differently

Since summer’s underway (eek! almost over, actually), I have kids at home, not necessarily alone, just home, and, they’ve got more time to call me at work.
