Knowing now that it was one of us, I would like to know. It will certainly influence my interaction (or non-interaction) with this individual.

>>>We shouldn't even joke about that. Andy is a good guy and I have never had a problem with him, other than one time when he was upset over something I said to his wife. I have had some dustups with Marcia, mainly over politics plus a couple of zingers I thought were uncalled for, but I certainly respect her expertise. They sent me a copy of their "1001 Things" book when it came out, gratis. I have no problem with either one of them.

>I know what you mean. I get to work at 7:00 and am almost always here alone for about two hours. Really strange and then I feel guilty leaving by 4:30. It must be an IT thing as the freeway is still jammed with cars when I come to work so I know others come to work before 9

It's also an early rush hour here. Some of them are white collar workers who have to leave early because we're so far from downtown Chicago (~1.5 hours either driving or by train) but the impression I get is many more work in the trades -- plumbers, carpenters, construction -- which for whatever reason have early work days. By 4 p.m. the main east-west road is backed up forever when they return home.
