That puppy looks like a shamelessly adorable critter who's going to rule everything in sight with her tiny iron paw. I love her!
Well, sure -- that was a given.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Puppy! Puppy!
Sorry, that is what puppies do to me.
Also, I have a mild headache, I don't want to be at work, and I am cranky.
And I just got a promotion with a 10% raise. Which isn't very much as I only make $27,000, but it is really the best one can hope to do here, and if I watch my spending and do the theatre for one more year, I might be able to get out of my credit card debt, in which case $29,700 will work just fine for me! The other nice thing is that the promotion is just a reclassification, which means I don't have to change my job, I am just getting paid more and have a better title.

Congrats Sophia! That's no small potatoes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That's great news, Sophia! About time they gave you some props -- not to mention the 10%!

I agree - that's excellent!
I can only look longingly at the words "10 percent raise" - we have been getting 3 percent raises here.
Of course, this year we don't have a budget so who knows what is going to happen.

Congratulations, Sophia! $2700 is not chicken scratch, for sure!

Thanks guys! My boss thought it would be a bigger raise, because she is appalled at how little the administrative staff makes (she is a nurse), but I didn't.
We have been getting 2% raises here, sumi, too. They actually reclassified my position as "Administrative Assistant" which is considered a salaried professional position, as opposed to Secretary IV, which is an hourly support staff position, but I have the same duties.
Also, has anyone else seen the romance novel covers, especially the first one? [link] I suggest reading the comments because they are comedy gold!

Because books.
Yay Sophia! That's awesome news.
IembarrassingN, I actually wrote the back cover copy for the third book down in that link, Big Spankable Asses. That was an ... interesting freelance job.

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
