Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks again, you guys! I will sleep well tonight.
