Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Travelocity is evil! Tickets to SF are now $167. I wonder if I hod out for another couple of weeks, they'll knock it down to $150.

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

That reminds me -- are you racing fans going to watch that show with celebrities racing cars? (I saw ads for it during Traveler last night and thought of you guys.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Punishingly Intricate
Just told boss that I got an offer. He was sad but happy for me. And asked what I'd want if they could make a counter-offer. Nobody's ever counter-offered for me before! I said 4 days working at home a week + pay raise + monkey butler. Or, possibly, cabana boy.
I don't know what I'll do if they can meet my requests. The idea of a change is (while scary) pretty intriguing to me now. And I don't know if there's anything else I can do here in terms of furthering my career, such as it is.
Now...I really want BK. I haven't had it all year! I should probably just stick with the hummus and veggies I brought though.

move out and draw fire
The thing about counter-offers is if you accept one, then they know exactly how much your soul costs.
Amazon apparently has too good an idea of who I am, or at least who my virtual friends are...for Jon

hah! hmm...yeah. I told him that even if he can get everything I want I still may need to take the other job. He's always been fine with me working from home but the PTB at the company are not. For reasons that have never been adequately explained.
