So far, no, no mention of additional compensation.
I think there are subtle threats that can be employed on that front. For one thing, you're obviously a valuable commodity (inasmuch as they're kicking somebody else out because she wasn't expert-y enough). If they want to keep you, they gotta play nice. And if they (this evil big boss) don't give a shit about keeping you, well, don't stay kept.
I am personally of the opinion that the tone of an org is set at the top; and top-people who don't know that or don't care lose their best people and keep wondering why.
Gud, what are your other schooling options right now?
Gud, that's...no, I can't type in l33t speak. My brain is fragile enough as it is. It's just geeky cool.
Msbelle, as much as I hate to side with the cat-hating guy, Hec's kinda right. Cohabitation, and with someone who it's a lot harder to make go away. Or want, really, even if solitude beckons.
That's what babysitters are for. A few hours of away from the kid.
eta: of course, that kinda has to be planned. Can't really have spur of the moment away from the kid time, or DCFS could come a-knockin'.
I explained a zipless fuck to a sixteen year old today. And not, lest you think I'm back to my cradle-robbing ways, a boy. A girl, who looked at me...well, not as funnily as you'd expect. I don't have family out here to traumatise, so it's a delight to find this young krav instructor who lets me treat her just like a sixteen-year old cousin of mine.
Which of course involves lots of discussion about her being gay. Which, it seems, she might not be. But why should I let that get in my way? Her mother's totally into the idea.

AGASSI WINS!!!!!!
OMG, if this were happening at a women's prison, wouldn't Hec lose his mind?
That is definitely something to think about as the business idea looms closer.
Gud! I forgot to thank you personally for the swords. Well made and totally fun. Emmett figured out how to slip the blade of one through the guard of the other and make a Darth Maul-ish double-blade.
Hec's kinda right.
::has this cast into bronze as a door knocker and sent to ita's house immediately::

Heh. I heard that story on the news today.
There's always Tirupati.
