Penelope Trunk A question for you guys: Whenever I've had a boss I worked really well with, I ended up having a crush on him. Do you think this is typical?

Vanessa Alvarado: I don't think it's typical. This could be my age (22) Bosses tend to be much older. And I've personally never felt an attraction to one.

: Maybe it is related to the assumption that we are attracted to those who embody characteristics we want in ourselves...

Alex J. Avriette: Eventbrite page says it's "sold out." Is this the case? Also, I'm not a "member" of a "social media club," need I be? Also, I am @avriette.

Robert Behnke I'm about to dine out in Uruguay. My choices are meat or more meat? I think I'm going with the more meat but wanted to check.

Robert Behnke: The cows(and by extension the people) are grass fed here. Makes for nice skin...on the cows and the people.

Alex J. Avriette: Did you mean "grass fed" or "grass finished," P? Now I'm curious.

Alyssa Carter Penelope - If your company releases a social media policy that you find yourself not agreeing with, what to do? HR requires signature...

Holly Hoffman: We don't have an HR policy at my company, but I've been pulled into my boss's office twice for my blog anyway. Just stay off the radar.

Alyssa Carter: Holly - I think the danger of having an outlined HR policy is that you risk clearly violating outlined rules. Am already on the radar :/

Lance Also, would you date a guy your height or shorter, particularly if he were loaded/rich/socially significant?

Lance: @ Irina, haha. I guess you'll have to grab yourself a shorty then!

Penelope Trunk: Her obsession with height seems to risk missing out on all the creative, non-height ways to shift power in a relationship.
