Doesn't this puppy look like a basenji?
oh, da widdle FACE!

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%!

Art Crawl!!!
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

Congrats, Sophia!
And after this morning's transportation disaster, seeing the news about Gonzales made me do a double-take at Yahoo News and say, "Huh. Well, guess today doesn't completely suck donkey balls."
