My sister gets a few bonuses a year from Intel that I would kill for, but she says she'd rather have my vacation time, instead. I do get a few weeks more than she does, which is nice.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
What do they do for Citibank? Does it involve hiding bodies?

It would be really nice to get a bonus this year. I hadn't really realized how bad our finances were until I took over the home finances. Between gifts and travel, I don't think there will be enough money to pay all the bills this month.

A client just told me it was nice hearing my voice again. I'm sure he meant it as a benign compliment, but yo, I'm a little weirded out, here.
