In Bogota, we get different whether depending on geography. You have to dress in layers depending on how you get to your destination.
It sounds like Extreme San Francisco.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What is even happening?
Spidra, many prayers for your poor mom--that she isn't injured too badly, that she'll heal quickly, and that the driver who hit her will be well insured.
But I think if I told him I'd live in London, he'd chose London over the Dodge any day.
I'll live in London, and give up the car, even the spanking new one.

MG, what does the grade change give you that the raise doesn't?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Spidra, my thoughts and prayers are with your mom and you. That just sounds like so much and I know that you wish there was more you could do but you are doing a lot just by being there for her. ~ma.
I'll admit, I'm a little jealous of all this talk of car-giving-up.Me too. And living in in San Diego, it's dreaming the impossible dream.

Recognition more than anything. It is something I qualified for YEARS ago, but side A (my contract and program managers) didn't want me to be salaried, so as long as I had room in my pay range, side B (my accounting manager) was ok with leaving things as is. Well, now I've hit the top of my range. I've been in the same grade for close to 10 years and the grade I'm in is basically a clerical position while what I do is NOT clerical. I had assurances from three levels above side B that this time it would get changed and that they were not going to back down. Hah!!!
Plus, I only found out because *I* asked. No one came to me to explain what is happening or anything.

well, that's fucking lame ass, MG. I heartily support your assertion that they are, indeed, fuckers. And not telling you? What, did they just think you would forget about it if they didn't bring it up?

MG, they are, indeed fuckers, and I shall smite them.

I miss living a block away from the only efficient bus route in town. The nearest bus stop is a mile away from where we are now. I've done those sorts of walks before, but I'd rather not in the pre-dawn darkness of winter. I don't want to do it in the 100-plus afternoons of summer, either. Stupid high mountain deserts.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
MG, congratulations on the raise. As for the grade, am I understanding you right when you say they blocked you from the change because you'd then be non-exempt? I got confused because I associated "salaried" with exempt status.
I prefer non-exempt myself because if I do overtime they better damned well pay me for it.
