Congrats Jesse! (Now you doubly deserve those spa treatments!)
(And Jengod!)
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Congratulations, Jesse! All around great news.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Okay, I'm trying to help a friend who is asking fo r a raise. if someone is making 29,120.00 and they get a raise to 35,000.00, what percentage of a raise is that?
Should I know this? Yes, I certainly should, but I know I am doing the math wrong and don't have time to figure out how to do it right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You'd want to look at the difference in pay as a percentage of the original pay level. So, (35000-29120)/29120 = about 20%

(35000-29120)/29120=.201923
20%

Hee. I actually refreshed once to see if anyone had already answered before posting, trying to avoid the x-post.
Why? I don't know. Doomed to failure, clearly.

Robin, if my math is right, (and that's a dubious thing) it's a 20% raise.

My math is actually right! Go my English/Theatre person self.

I do that sometimes. And sometimes it causes an x-post.

Thanks, math (and theater) peeps.
