About Today: When to Call in Sick

Today In the Spotlight | More Topics |   from Jen Hubley I hate calling in sick. I feel guilty, even if I'm hacking up a lung, and I also feel like I'm missing the party. Sometimes, though, it's only polite to stay home. For example, yesterday I brought my cold to work for show and tell, and no one was excited about it.   In the Spotlight When Should I Call in Sick? "I feel like I'm getting dirty looks," I told one of my friends. "Maybe it's because you're infecting everyone with your germs," she replied. Oh. Well, there's always that.              More Topics Is Your Child Overweight? Family Fitness The History of Christmas Traditions 19th Century History Why Are Bedbugs Making a Comeback?

Hack WordPress

Portfolio WordPress Themes Gallery Posted: 16 Dec 2008 02:00 AM CST A couple of weeks ago I received a “request for a future post” from Emma (didn’t provide a website with her request for me to credit) asking for a new WordPress theme gallery.   This time, her request was for a portfolio theme gallery. Although I can’t always fulfill every request I get, this gallery is one that I think will benefit a large number of people, so I’ve decided to throw one together!   The top half will be free portfolio themes and the second half will be premium portfolio themes which are available to purchase.  I’ve also included a feature list whenever one was available.
