Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
t Scopes out Bitches quickly. Nothing going on there. P-C has been into the supplies, again.
Population concentration: I notice from the last election that there is a correlation between population density and the likelihood that someone will vote Demo.
There is probably some insurance statistician among Buffistas who will spank me on this, but I'll venture out on the limb to say that people who pay more for car insurance or more likely to vote Demo.
The Seeds of Peace on-line auction includes lunch with Seymour Hersh. I'd almost be tempted to bid, except for a long history of turning into a mumbling idiot when I meet people I admire.
For whatever reason, I'm totally wanting lunch with Anderson Cooper. My mom bid on Sam Waterston.

"They" freaking ALWAYS do that.

Evening everybody, it's not very dry here is it anywhere else?
The thing is, if you leave the job market for 5 or 10 years, no matter what you are doing, you almost never hit the career salary high you would have had. In many cases, your skills are outdated or people are suspicious of the gap in employment and you end up with a lower salary than you had when you left.
And this is something that occasionally frightens me--what if I don't make enough of a mark at freelancing, and/or never sell a novel, and have to go back to the land of university administration as I'm approaching middle age, only with several years lost, and I never can get back to something that's even tolerable WRT salary, responsibility, and prestige.
OTOH, if I didn't at least try what I'm doing now, I know I'd regret it on my deathbed. So here I am.
