Guilty people who are concerned about their public image, that's who.
When someone says they are concerned about their optics they are really saying, "I need to spin this so I don't come off looking like a total A-hole." I know I am doing something which will be perceived as bad (because, well, it is bad) but I just need to fix the optics so you ignorant people, who don't know what's really going on, will still think well of me. If you were on the team, knew the backstory and were an insider like me, you'd know what shady shit is really going down. But for you everyday folks, who might happen to witness my unscrupulous acts, I have to manage your perception to make what you see acceptable. I know what I'm doing is righteous and pure, says the sociopath, but the optics, well, maybe they need a little tweaking.
Optics. Fancy.

Who uses the term "optics?"
Hi, I'm Andrew, AKA Hoodyup the Evil Caregiver, and I approved this blog post. I may not have been in my right mind at the time, but what's done is done. I stand by my sins. Eppur si muove.
I started this blog as a way to vent my frustrations with life, the universe and everything (not the book by Douglas Adams; that was quite good, actually).
My seemingly charmed life took a turn in 2004 when my wife Sharon was diagnosed with MS. This blog documents the fallout and revisits the past, as well as chronicling my dreams and rants throughout the years.
Be warned - explicit language and content that runs the gamut can be found in these posts, which describe personal events, both real and those dreamed up by my overactive nocturnal psyche.
Also, I use real names whenever possible, so if you see a post with your name on it, it probably refers to you. Unless, of course, you don't know me, in which case it is purely coincidental.
Enjoy your visit. Comment, if you so desire, or lurk privately. This blog can be your guilty pleasure (or displeasure).

I've changed my comments settings to allow for anyone to comment. All comments are welcome, even spineless potshots from anonymous posters. Please, by all means, give me the tongue lashing I so richly deserve. I promise not to hunt you down and melt your keyboard with my plasma cannon. I won't, however, promise not to pout and make that face you can't stand.
