Washington Post poll has Obama up by 7 in VA. I just can't see him winning here again -- nm - prayformojo May 4, 07:38 21
- Every major poll has Obama up in VA, OH, and MI (which wins him re-election) and up in swings NC, and CO. Expect pushes in those states, big. -- nm - MDH May 4, 07:48
- I'd be suprised (and very concerned) if he lost it. He's been up repeatedly and consistently in the state in every legit poll I've seen. And the - Don Homer May 4, 07:47

      - You may want to look at what the austerity policies that Romney favors are doing in Europe - Brian May 4, 07:45
      - Thus guaranteeing the recession. It's like you don't even understand cause and effect. -- nm - TWuG May 4, 07:43 2
        
        Huh? So I guess Obama stepped in so we can't blame Bush for the last one? It's Obama's fault because we electing him? -- nm - Bacon May 4, 07:45 1
        
        GOP policies had 8 years to undercut the economy and then opposed every Obama initiative to improve it and you want to hand them the reins again -- nm - TWuG May 4, 07:53

        Alex Smith rose to prominence under Obama's watch! -- nm - prayformojo May 4, 07:44
        
        I think the President has some control over the economy. Tim Geitner is his man and that guy has a lot of power. - Bacon May 4, 07:44

- You know, given her job, she should know what Tumblr is. -- nm - TWuG May 4, 06:58 16
  - "The first rule of tumblr is you don't promote tumblr." She knows what it is, she knew her audience on tumblr 100%. -- nm - MDH May 4, 07:02 15
    - If you leave 90% of your audience thinking you don't know your job, you've failed. -- nm - TWuG May 4, 07:12

        This explains it. -- nm - MDH May 4, 07:33
        
        I must be seeing the wrong Tumblrs because I never see anything that hasn't shown up elsewhere with better context. -- nm - TWuG May 4, 07:24 1
        
        I connected by seeing the reposts and thought - I like the posts from that tumblr that X is always reblogging - Epiphany May 4, 07:30
        
        This is why you aren't tumblr's demographic. -- nm - MDH May 4, 07:18 6
        
        It's no Google Plus, I'll tell you that. -- nm - TFox May 4, 07:23 2
        
        I almost feel bad for google. G+ is so far down the rung of social media it's sad. -- nm - MDH May 4, 07:33
        
        G+ has its uses. As a replacement for Facebook isn't one of them. - TWuG May 4, 07:27
        
        What is the demo? People who link to shit because someone else linked to it? - TWuG May 4, 07:22 2
        
        Teens through early thirties as the majority of users. 99% of tumblr's don't have themes and are just people posting entries/comments/pictures. -- nm - MDH May 4, 07:32 1
        
        Ah, so it's HipsterBook. -- nm - TWuG May 4, 07:37

I didn't fire anybody yesterday. - colin May 4, 06:32 23
- wow. "I wasn't sleeping, I was playing games instead of working" ? -- nm - decline May 4, 06:33 22
  - her defense was "I've been asking you for weeks what I should be doing... never got direction, so just killing time" - colin May 4, 06:35 21
    - I've been dropped off on an island like this before - it's frustrating when no one will listen to you. - Reagen May 4, 07:35 2
      - i'd totally agree.... yanno.. if she had actually asked for help. - colin May 4, 07:39 1
        
        No one (I think) is saying you did it on purpose. -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:41
    - no offense here, but I would hate for you to be my boss. - groiny May 4, 07:12 2
      - see below. -- nm - colin May 4, 07:36
      - "Manage me!" "I don't even know what that means!" -- nm - TFox May 4, 07:17
    - Aren't you supposed to supervise her?? She's not on an island. -- nm - Don Homer May 4, 06:55
    - In fairness, my first year at my current job was exactly like this. -- nm - TFox May 4, 06:50
    - does she have a point? A job description is great, but if you don't know the HOW, you only know the WHAT, it is tough. But, based on your first post - Andie May 4, 06:36 12
      - no. she came from a support role in a video conference center. her job here is to learn our booking/call methods. - colin May 4, 06:49 11
        
        If you're her manager and she's asking for help and direction and getting blown off, you're both not doing your jobs. -- nm - TFox May 4, 06:52 10
        
        i see the confusion here... she never asked me for the direction she thinks she did. in addition, all the items I laid out in painful detail were - colin May 4, 07:18 4
        
        she said she was asking for direction for weeks. was that not happening? i mean, if she's lying, then fine. - TFox May 4, 07:20 3
        
        i am not the kind of person to leave someone high and dry in a job. i hired her, i don't want someone i hired to fail. - colin May 4, 07:35 1
        
        I hate piling on, but what you have to remember is that not every person "works" in the same way. Some people are great at running on their own. - Kim Pine May 4, 07:42
        
        She's probably lying, or at the very least scrambling to backpedal. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 07:27
        
        Yeah, management has a responsibility to new hires to make sure they understand what they're supposed to be doing and how. - Kim Pine May 4, 06:56 4
        
        hee! that never happens here - its a sink or swim situation. - Epiphany May 4, 07:11 3
        
        It used to happen here - and a lot of people did not make it. We're much much better now, with a structured onboard program. - Kim Pine May 4, 07:14
        
        i think it happens a lot, but, it's not ideal. -- nm - Andie May 4, 07:12 1
        
        agreed. -- nm - Epiphany May 4, 07:32
I'll admit. I think I fell asleep for a little bit during the Avengers -- nm - oblique May 4, 06:04 10

- Heard it got renewed for another season, that surprised me. -- nm - Strongbad May 4, 05:29 2
  - it's one of their most consistent shows with a rabid fan base and I would imagine sells good on DVD as well. The CW can't be picky :) -- nm - Beaker May 4, 05:32 1
