'War Stories'
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.
Apparently that's how it works in the World of Finance? Your base salary is kind of bullshit, because the bonuses are so big?
Pretty much. Everyone who works above me, including my boss, my boss's boss, and my boss's boss's boss, has the same base salary as I do.
Next month will be okay as well. It's just I took over the finances in November with a whole bunch of overdue bills . Then we did the dogs (which I really didn't want to do right then) and that ended up costing a whole lot of money last month. Then there are the extra expenses of December with gifts and travel and property taxes. January should be much better.

The TAR finale recaplet is up at TWOP.
Not to mention etiquette, kindness, bigotry and so on.
WORD.
I haven't watched the finale yet, but I'm really excited about it now!
One of the better eps of the season, I'd say.
Maureen Dowd editorializes on Bush's bubble [link]
The president's bubble requires constant care. It's not easy to keep out huge tragedies like Katrina, or flawed policies like Iraq. As Newsweek noted, a foreign diplomat "was startled when Secretary of State Rice warned him not to lay bad news on the president. 'Don't upset him,' she said."
Um... huh? "Don't upset him" ?!?
Not to mention etiquette, kindness, bigotry and so on.
I normally watch TAR, but just didn't have it in me to watch families racing, so I didn't watch a single ep. This statement makes me glad I didn't.
I think that the finale was easily the best episode of the season.
And the promo for the next season looks really good -- 5 continents, 60,000 miles -- perfect.
NYTimes guides to champagne and caviar.
Two of my favorite things. Mmmm.
