My Comments
As I have pointed elsewhere, my colleague Thomas Emerson used to show up for work around 10:15 AM or later and therefore, even on the three days I came around 10:20 AM because of having attended Phil Spector's Statistical Computing class, I was coming at the same time as Tom Emerson. Besides, the other two days, I came before 9 AM, while Tom Emerson came at his usual 10:15 AM or later schedule. (I am not including those frequent days when Tom Emerson didn't show up for work for various reasons.) Moreover, I made up by not taking lunch break, working late, working on weekends etc. Tom Emerson left early frequently.
On days I had to attend David Freedman's Linear Modeling lectures, as usual I didn't take lunch breaks and while I was not there for a short time (up to an hour or so) when Tom Emerson was present in the office, because of Tom Emerson's habit of taking extremely long lunch breaks (2-3-4 hours) , he was generally not there in the afternoon for long times while I was present.
In short, in spite of my taking two classes, during regular hours I was present in the office for longer time than my colleague Tom Emerson. Why am I laboring this point? Reason will be clear soon.
Note: My guess is that Thomas Emerson spent around 20 hours in the office each week, on average. Klein and Sumer, just like the rest of us knew about his hours. However, Jeffrey Klein testified in front of Unemployment Appeals Board that since he didn't micro-manage, he couldn't tell about Thomas Emerson's habit of coming late and so.
