Using my power for the forces of good.

I had a proud moment at work this morning that I wanted to share a bit more widely:

One of my writers (I say they're mine because I'm their supervisor) moped in to work a bit after 9 a.m., disappointed that the lines were so long at her polling place that she had to leave in order to get to work on time. After blinking at her for a moment, I asked her to point out her direct supervisor. Baffled, she pointed at me -- then rolled her eyes and said, "oh..."

After a moment of laughter, I handed her the newest issue of Nonprofit Quarterly and told her I didn't want to see her at work until she had her little I voted! sticker and advised her to at least use the time in line to catch up on some reading.

There are benefits, and then there are benefits.

You're right -- that's awesome! (Like a really good hot dog, not like a hundred billion hot dogs.)
