    My co-workers have those hours. In at 9, 1 hour lunches, out at 5 on the dot most days. As a consultant, however, I'm paid hourly, so I get to stay late every night.

    Lastpass acknowledges this and tells you that a shared password can be retrieved, but for most employees, it would be more work than it is probably worth to view that password. Als…

    Funny story. I went to a conference earlier this year where I met a very attractive sales rep for a company we were considering working with. She emailed some information a few wee…
