Hello friend,
I am currently unable to answer your email as I am on PTO doing important Equinox things like peeling apples and cleaning the graves as my grandmother taught me.
"Steveiemissymichaelerniesandymandy," she would yell, "Mandy, get out of the ditch and clean Pista's grave from all those leaves! And you remember, in this family we don't divorce our husbands we bury them!"
I don't know what killed Pista but he never made it out of the backyard.
If this is an emergency, you can hit up Joe or Topher. They are both snappy dressers with the brains to back it up.
If something is on fire, I suggest putting that fire out.
If you want to report my specific and measurable awesomeness, email my manager.
I'll be back on Tuesday.
Cheers my peers (and Mom),
Maddie

Copyright or Copywrong
Can you help me apply "©2018 Company, Inc." to all my content and slides and things?
I mean, I can. But, why?
Since the Copyright Act of 1976, all work is protected and the mark is no longer needed or required. It also bares no legal status.
It’s important to protect Company’s intellectual property! Without it, we are lost!
The Copyright Act of 1976 was designed to address intellectual property questions raised by new forms of communication that did not jive with the previous laws around content protection.
Since the passing of the Copyright Act of 1976 there is no reason to put a copyright on our materials because, at creation, it is granted full US protection.
Wait. What? We don’t need the ©?
Under section 102 of the Copyright Act of 1976, copyright protection automatically extends to
The only limit of the Copyright Act of 1976 is around systems, processes and ideas. Copyright law protects the expression of facts and ideas, not the ideas and facts themselves. That’s patent level talk.
No, no. None of this makes sense and you’re not a lawyer. We need that copyright symbol and formal name of Company! Protection! This is how we have always done it!
Let’s review real fast: since the Copyright Act of 1976, all content created after 1978 (when the law went into effect), once viewable and consumable through any medium, is protected by US law from use (minus fair use). You can take legal action without any little knickknack symbol.
Since the Copyright Act of 1976, all work is protected. No razzle-dazzle needed.
Then why is it so important we put "© 2018 Company, Inc." on everything?
Sometimes battles continue long after wars are over.
The confusion, I can only assume, stems from the last major law around US copyrighting. The Copyright Act of 1909 states only works that were original, published and had a copyright symbol were protected by federal law.
If this was not done, you had a narrow chance of protection at the state level, but, generally, no ability to claim someone had stolen your original work. Many people continue to abide by the 1909 law over the 1976 law for…I assume…cultural reasons or pagination reasons.
I might point out that we, as creators, already gave up the right to anything we create at Company through contract which negates any of this.
Wait, we are following an Act passed 117 years ago?
Yep.
Protection in the Copyright Act of 1909 was more about when a work becomes public domain and useable by the masses without payment or credit needed.
Back in the olde tyme days, we didn’t have as diverse mediums as we do now and in order to protect all creators, the Copyright Act of 1976 was passed to broaden the scope of federal statutory copyright protection.
That’s why if someone were to post a photo they took on the Internet, for example, you can’t just use it without payment or agreed on credit. I mean, you can, but, you can also run stop signs when no one is looking.
Since the Copyright Act of 1976, all work is protected.
Better safe than sorry. What if someone steals our work? We would need to take them to court and prove our rights with that mark that registers it as copyrighted!
It’s already prote-...ok ok…I see the rabbit hole we are going down.
Let’s assume someone stole your PowerPoint or an elearning and started using it and you got mad and wanted to legally pursue them for copyright infringement.
These materials, owned by Company, are not registered at the US Copyright Office. Because, well, one it’s protected by the Copyright Act of 1976…and…
We need to register!
So, the Copyright Act of 1976 still allows for registration of work through the US Copyright Office, which then has power to determine ownership and other stuff. To register, the Copyright Act of 1976 requires the work to be published for public sale and that published work has to be deposited within the US Copyright Office to accomplish registration.
According to section 411 of the Copyright Act of 1976, registration can be acquired by creator of the work in order to formally start infringement action against another. But, it’s not required.
Even IF registration is rejected or never acquired, infringement action can begin and continue - the court will just determine that the work is copyrightable first.
Again, since the Copyright Act of 1976, all work is protected.
Ok, ok, well. We still need to add "All Right Reserved." So everyone knows they have no rights to use the work.
"All Rights Reserve" is an old phrase that has no legal significance since Aug 2000.
Again, since the Copyright Act of 1976, all work is protected.
Fine. Well, for Company’s protection, we need to add "Proprietary and Confidential" because we can take THAT to court.
The "Proprietary and Confidential" statement has two parts divided by the word "and."
"Confidential" has no legal significance. You can’t say something is confidential and then go after someone who shares the work. My diary had "top secret" on it and I was unable to peruse legal actions against anyone who read it without authorization…I’m kidding, no one cared about my diary.
Confidential information is protected only through contracts and non-disclosures agreements because for anything to be legally binding all parties need to agree to the terms. Without a non-disclosure agreement (consent, if you will) the word "Confidential" is only an alert to the person who has access to the content that someone else deems it confidential.
"Proprietary" indicates the information is unique and original to the industry or entity. It would be a client list or the blueprints for a working time machine. It means that the content is unique and …uhh..yep. That’s all that word means. It’s not legal protection.
Again, since the Copyright Act of 1976, all work is protected.
Do I need to update my copyright every year?
…I was born in 1980, so…I never have…Ok, the battle rages on.
When you see multiply copyright dates on a work, it normally indicates that significant updates or corrections to the content has been made while still falling in the context of the original work. If I wrote a book in 1901 on each of the US Presidents, you might see a copyright update every four years because new content is being added after each election. But, I mean, by 1929 or 1957 it would be public domain anyway…soo…I mean…no
Again, since the Copyright Act of 1976, all work is protected.
Ok, so, no © is needed. Ok. I get it. We are totally protected.
Well, only in the United States.
Copyright is not subjected to international regulations so there is nothing that legally protects content from being used outside of the US regardless of any symbols of actions taken in this country.
I mean, I can. But, why?

Gorgeous
Stop calling me "gorgeous"
Because when you say "you're gorgeous," you mean you expect me to do whatever you want and I should happily exceed your expectations until you are done with me and allow me to disappear as silently as smoke into the night.
Because when you say "you're gorgeous," it means the choices I am excited about are shameful because my happiness is not as important as realizing being gorgeous means I owe something to the world around me that is driven by society, not my own mind or heart.
Because when you say "you're gorgeous," you think it means you are entitled to my undivided attention and body. You say it not as a compliment but as a claim on my person.
When I tell you "I know" or "I'm not interested," in a second, I will turn from "gorgeous" to a slut, a whore, a cocky bitch, bad decision maker and a cum dumpster. I will change from an angel to a woman fraught with drama and too into myself and too negative to be worthy of your attention or life - both which you view as you property to deal with and equal.
Because, when you said "you're gorgeous"...you thought that was just the fee for violating my boundaries and you want a refund when you don't get what you want.
Stop calling me "gorgeous."

PICC-versary
June 14, 2007
I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to to be late because I might have a clot that could kill me. I didn't want to be this sick because I survived the two weeks of oral medication before the PICC install. I didn't want to know. I didn't want to live. I didn't want to be this.
I was in shock. The air around me was fragile as thin glass.
I knew how to act. I knew how to be. I knew how to mask this. I knew how to make this ok for everyone.
This was the last time my smile looked like that. The nerve damage from the claimed my face in such slight and profound ways...
It has been 11 years since this day which started a 5 year regiment of treatment that torn my guts, tricked my mind and damaged my heart.
I'm still trying to make this ok for others. I have the words to say "it was nothing" or "it's ok"
...but everything in my soul was torn from me - and that is not ok.
What I most hate is when people tell me I'm a fighter or warrior when I manage to tell them what happened to me. I hate it. I hate that in those words, people articulate or assume or communicate or think or feel - that me being alive was a proactive choice I made. There is no choice in sickness, there is no battle - as infection tore through my body, there was nothing I could do.
I hate that people use these words to throw responsibility back on the sick. That maybe if we just tried to not be sick a little harder, it would be better.
There is no control, there is no choice. Stop telling me I had a choice to live or die. To be healthy or sick. To be happy or sad.
I am alive and every time I feel happy to be alive, I remember that many others are not. I don't know why I am alive and they are not. I don't know what combination of things worked in my favor.
Today is my PICC-versary.

This Rant I Had On Spiders
You know why I really hate it when adults smash spiders and kill snakes and freak out around lizards and frogs around children?
Because it teaches children that cute, fuzzy animals are worthwhile and when something is scaly or has more than four legs it is to be feared and when you fear something you should always kill it. Spiders bite you and they are ugly, we say. We don't rejoice at a friendly house-spider who catches other insects that can carry diseases.
We teach them that a daddy long legs in the garage should be met with screams and then immediate fatal action. I remember even having people tell me how fun it is to pull off each of its legs.
We don't teach them to respect bees and avoid them because we share the world with many different types of creatures and people - we show (and tell) children bees can sting and should be destroyed. We don't teach our children sometimes you get stung and it hurts but you won't die. We don't tell them that there are prescriptions of danger, truth and life outside their own world.
We don't teach children the number one sign of a healthy garden is a couple of snakes - we teach them to behead all snakes and fear them. All snakes! Because a couple are poisonous in the world. Which ones? Doesn't matter, all snakes need to die. We don't tell our children snakes like to avoid people and if you see one, it's best to leave it alone or walk away. We certainly don't teach them how to identify poisonous snakes - being armed with education is work, killing everything you fear is easy.
No wonder children run screaming from a bumblebee at a flower. No wonder they can't sleep with a fly at the window. No wonder, as adults, they run over turtles trying to cross the road with their cars.
Think about it. We teach children when something is different then the accepted fuzzy, pretty norm - you should destroy it.
We don't teach children that nature has a place for everything. Every animal, every human. We teach them only cute animals should be allowed to live and should be respected.
We teach them to fear things that are different. We don't take the opportunity to say, "Wow, you saw a lizard? Let's look up lizards and see what kind it was. I wonder if the lizard was scared of you!"
We don't say, "Wow, that spider sure is funny looking. I wonder why it has such long legs, don't you? Let's find out."
We don't say, "That bee did sting you. But, you'll be ok. I think that bee just got so scared when it saw you! Listen, when you see a lot of bees in a hole in the ground or in a hive, you stay away, that's the bee's home and you are big and scary. The bees think you are going to step on them or hurt their babies. Did you know they make honey, too?"
Kids who learn to face fear and uncertainly with education, to face things that are different with curiosity, and who learn they have a tremendous ability to hurt others - I can't say for sure, but, I think that those sound like some pretty awesome kids.
Then when someone comes into their world who is different - maybe it's not that hard for these kids to shrug and accept. And then they grow up. And then there might just be less hate and more understanding in the world. Maybe.
Being a parent is hard.
Look, kid, you don't have to fall in love with spiders, you just have to give them their space.

The Note I Wrote to My Team
Hello Links,
Yes, I wrote an oddly long email…what a fantastic treat! Yes, I do have news of which to share of a personal nature.
Spoiler alert: In January I left my husband, Bob, and we are divorcing. It’s super-not fun and I have been less of myself here at DaVita and I apologize.
Please continue on for humor, general thoughts, non-dirty details, learning points and an oddly optimistic finish if you have the care or time.
Per-Pro Overlap
In a lot of our development courses we talk about that overlap of personal and professional - and while I am open about a lot of things, I do my best to compartmentalize brutal things and keep them out of the work environment.
However, it’s not particularly fair to do this when these personal things clearly effect my professional life and people I actually care about and I don’t say anything.
So, it has been a long and complicated 2017 for my personal life.
A Note to This Team
So, first, I am sorry if I have been absent physically or mentally. Or if I seemed short or distant especially in these last few months. This split is why.
Or maybe someone made me use a ballpoint pen or, let’s be honest.
I will also probably be somewhat distracted until this situation is resolved – but I am doing my best, I promise you all, to get healthy and remain focused. If you could all be patient with me and give me the benefit of the doubt if I am “off.”
Feel free to call me out on it so I can also adjust.
A Note About Good People
If that bummed you out - here is what I do know.
There is still so much good in people and good in the world even if it requires being oddly vulnerable and challenging pain and silence with compassion and a voice.
The absolutely worst events of my situation came to a point in December. I felt underwater and like some desperate failure trying to hold it together because I didn’t know how to live with my own story. I finally admitted it to a collection of rather random acquaintances exactly what was going on. They all suddenly stepped up, to offer their own stories, to help me move, to make me laugh, and to offer reassurance and recommendations.
They continue to protect and follow-up with me to this day from across the country.
And this simple mark of being human blew me away.
People will restore your faith in humanity if you let them and can bring absolute light to total darkness.
Wrap It Up
So, my Links, this is the second worst thing in my life I have had to live through. I would be crazy to say it's not going to bleed into my professional life.
And I have a lot of good jokes about it from benign to super-dark. Like, so much material.
Please let me know what you need from me and know I will do the best I can.
