[acb-hsp] Hipa Question

[Darla Rogers]

I was surprised they hadn't' thought about it; it hit my brain the first interview I conducted with my supervisor; I should have said something to our director that very day.

Ah; Jessie; you are quite right; I try to practice the Japanese way of being private or allowing someone's privacy even when they are in close proximity.  One of you will know the correct term, but my brain feels like it is parboiling even with the AC set at 70.

Darla, I suspect it didn’t happen before a client brought it up was for the simple reason that it never occurred to the powers that be that this would be an issue. We’re probably going to see a lot of these issues coming up as time goes in in this Dilbert-driven cubicle society. I had occasion to visit the Social Security office not too long ago, and while my business was being dealt with I could hear, plain as day, what was happening in cubicles nearby. To me, this was more than a little unsettling. At some point these issues are going to have to be dealt with on a large scale.
