ita, my boyfriend's new job is VP at a company and I was shocked that not only does the company not dole out communication devices, they're on desktops!!
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ack! At least everyone here, pretty much is on a laptop. And it's mandatory that we take them home every night. Business continuity. It's a clunky beast, though, and wireless doesn't work, and the screen locks after 15 minutes of inactivity so it's kind of irritating.
I got so used to having a blackberry even for just toting around the office and knowing when and where my next meeting was going to be. I think some people have email forwarded to their personal devices, but I maintain separation of church and state as much as possible. They want bandwidth, they can pay for it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH's boss was shocked to find out he was still on a desktop. DH finally got one for him and his staff a couple of weeks ago.
I have a budget meeting for the non profit I'm volunteering for and I hate those things. Non profits in general are on the ropes lately and I hate begging for money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not begging! Giving people the opportunity to support work they think is important, but can't do themselves!! t /fundraising evangelist knee-jerk

I wish it was regular fund raising! Donors, I can deal with. Our major funding source is United Way so I have to go through them. They're threatening to cut it all so we're essentially begging them not to.
There will be begging. But they do support us. It's just a struggle to prove to them how much we're needed.

Oh, that's even less begging. That is a business negotiation, making a case.

That's a good point. I need to be in a positive mode for this. Still, it would be awesome if you could make it here for the meeting!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There's nothing wrong with desktops! We're all on desktops!

Heh. I'm not saying United Way won't make you feel like crap, but that's on them. Effing UW.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I need a desktop for work, because I need my four monitors.
I usually bring my MacBook Pro to work with me to fulfill music duties.
