Ooh, that's so tacky, Calli! I'm actually a consultant, and the org is paying me directly, so I'm sure I'm getting more in my paycheck and they are paying less for me than for the actual through-an-agency temp who's doing the same work I am. (Maternity leave + busy time.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My boss, who makes a lot more than me, obviously, is always bitching to me about her low salary. People! Welcome to the Tact Factory! We don't complain about our diamond shoes in front of the one-legged woman with no root!
Har, flea.
Ain't nuthin as funny as a woman with root.
Welcome to the Tact Factory!
Hee!
Info on a bipedal goat. Unfortunatly, no photos, but there are diagrams of bone structure. [link]
West-Eberhard discusses another particularly instructive paper, some observations made by Slijper in the 1940's on a bipedal goat. This poor beast was born with missing forelimbs. Surprisingly, it lived for a year before it died in an accident (presumably unrelated to its deformities), and adapted in unexpected ways. It could hop around on its two hind legs, and developed additional peculiarities: enlarged hind limbs, a curved spine, and large neck.

I read this as TaRt Factory. Either I'm a) hungry or b) thinking slutty thoughts.
People! Welcome to the Tact Factory!
Hee!
someone keep that on tap for a future thread title.
Heh. I'm trying to dredge up some tact right now. Dude, if you set your password contact email to be a distribution list, how is the lack of security of that list MY problem?
