msbelle! Wait! Did you know that Laura Prepon goes out with Chris Masterson in real life??
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Non-exempt employees receive hourly wages; they are subject to wage and hour laws, i.e. overtime pay; usually applies to non-professional employees.
That is somewhat right, and somewhat wrong, ita. I am a salaried employee, but I am also non-exempt, so that I do get overtime. In California epecially, most people are considered non-exempt under the laws and regs.
I will see if I can dig up a synopis, but it might not be until tonight.

What is even happening?
I'm all tsunami'd out. I'm not giving any tsunami money. I wouldn't give the red cross a dime, anyway.I'm not tsunami'd out, but only because I stopped reading/watching the coverage, almost immediately. Every couple of days, I peek at a headline and that's it.
The following is not me saying you should give anything. You're a very generous person, and my whole previous conversation was about celebrities. I'm tired of hearing seeing them sing (or whatever) to raise money from common suckers like us. Write the big check yourselves, I say. That said, if you wanted to give, there are a ton of organizations other than the Red Cross, and many with really good track records of getting what's needed to those in need.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude. Aaron Spelling didn't break your remote control finger.
We have only ourselves to blame. It's our money they're spending.

Dude. Aaron Spelling didn't break your remote control finger.Funny you mention him, because that may be the only episode of that show I ever caught. In fact, I'm not sure I learned about Spelling on LSotR&F. But I remember, I think when I was in college, that he was buying a home of a celebrity for something like $45 million TO TEAR IT DOWN AND BUILD A GAJILLION DOLLAR "HOME". IT WAS TO PUKE. I may have been taking a lot of poverty related courses (both soc. and econ) at the time.

Ooh, Netflix has this new thing. Or maybe it isn't just new but I only just noticed it where you can add something to your queue and then move it right to the top!

Speaking of new things, the elevator told me that TiVoToGo was being launched. You'll be able to easily transport it to your laptop, or ultimatley, your hand held. I immediately imagined Scola doing this.

Should we worry about these conversations with the elevator, Hec?

Amen. Once I balance my checkbook and figure out what I can budget to give, I'm thinking of donating to UNICEF. Even if my particular $ doesn't go immediately to disaster relief, I approve of the uses the organization puts it to in general in the affected area. (And so far as I know, they aren't run by people who superstitiously think I'm unclean and possessed of blood that can magically bypass screening tests to spread God's righteous wrathillness among the faithful.)

I feel the same way about Doctors Without Borders.
