”’Part-Time Love”’ is a song written by [[Elton John]] with lyrics by [[Gary Osborne]]. It is the sixth track off his 1978 album, [[A Single Man]]. It is also the opening track of side two. It proved to be one of the most popular singles the couple wrote, along with 1982’s [[Blue Eyes (song)|Blue Eyes]]. It was banned in the Soviet release of the album along with another song, [[Big Dipper (Elton John song)|Big Dipper]]. The single reached #15 in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] and peaked just outside the Top 20 in the [[United States of America|U.S.]] at #21.

==Musical structure==
The song opens with a jaunty piano, and then goes into the main riff, an uptempo disco-flavered party song. The lead guitar played here is by John’s long-time bandmate [[Davey Johnstone]]. The song features strings in such a way that it could easily be referred to as a disco anthem. [[Ray Cooper]] also appears on percussion that flows together with the drums and bass. The bridge in the song is very messy, fitting in with the lyric.

==Lyrical meaning==
It was banned by various radio stations and omitted from the Soviet Release of the album. It is obvious that the lyrics deal with [[adultery]]; the second verse goes:

”’You’ve been seen running around, there’s not much I don’t hear of, and still you try telling me all the things I must stay clear of. Don’t tell me what to do when you’ve been doing it too, because you, me and everybody’s got a part-time love”’

Due to the disco craze at the time, the song wasn’t popular, and John only played it in his live sets of 1978 and 1979. It did however appear on his compilation ‘[[The Very Best of Elton John]]’ in 1990. A funny thing is also, that while the A-side was written by Gary Osborne, the b-side, ‘[[I Cry at Night]]’ was written by [[Bernie Taupin]]. It is one of the few singles John released with different lyricists on each side.

‘Mr. Admin’ is a weekly online comic strip published by @IT (‘at mark I. T.’), a major Japanese technology news portal site. It is notable for being the first Japanese comic aimed at IT professionals. Stories usually revolve around the IT staff at an unnamed company in a shabby building somewhere in the sprawl of Tokyo. Though most of the recurring characters have proper names, the hapless main character, a system administrator, is known only as ‘Mr. Admin.’ The comic has run since November 2005, with English translations catching up since 2008.

== Main Characters ==

Mr. Admin<br />
The main IT guy for an unnamed medium-size Tokyo-based company. Typical Tokyo IT worker. An earnest guy working insanely long hours. Not especially flexible in his approach.

Ms. Shiratori<br />
Kind-hearted and clever accountant. Friends with Mr. Admin.

Dept. Manager Kuroiwa<br />
Ill-natured middle manager over Mr. Admin, Shiratori, Shimoyama, Suzuki, and Akada.

The Company President<br />
Kuroiwa’s boss. Incompetent and gullible with an explosive temper.

Mr. Shimoyama<br />
Mr. Admin’s IT department co-worker. Not quite as knowledgeable, but hard-working.

Mr. Suzuki<br />
Gadget geek. Good-natured. Joker.

Ms. Akada<br />
In a permanent bad mood.
