Grab Bag Day: First off, my reporter friend is again looking for folks to interview:

I'm looking to interview people who have worked a part-time or flexible schedule or would like to, but feel they canÂ?t for whatever reason. I'd even be interested in talking to bosses about the challenges in managing a staff that includes part-timers.

If you can help, let her know: Katherine.Lewis(at)newhouse.com.

Also: increasingly famous podcaster/at-home dad Dan Klass has had a bit of a run-in with the New York Times. In support of Dan, I am initiating a Google bombing effort to help get out the word that Dan Klass is not an addict. (The hope is that Google will see my link to "not an addict" is coded to "danklass.com." Enough folks do this, and "danklass.com" will become the number one Google link for "not an addict." And then Dan will find it easier to get paid work.) If you're a blogger and would like to help, but have no idea what I'm talking about, drop me a line.

Finally, some bad news: leaving, then re-entering the workforce does a number on women's earnings, says a Bloomberg News story. Not much in the way of analysis, and no corresponding info on the effect of men who take time off, but a good reminder nonetheless of why it's worth fighting for recognition of the value of what is incorrectly called "time off."
