Now tagless for your comfort.

yeah, msbelle. he is asshole of the year.

I think all the assholes of the world got together and nominated this guy as their king.

Vagina sofa is weird. Is the guy who buys it a giant dick?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the vajayjay sofa is great. Love the pillow.

I need to come up with an idea for an information service for a professional or cultural group for a group assignment at school. Anyone have any good ideas? I was thinking about something for incarcerated youth, but that doesn't really fit with professional or cultural group, does it?

Woot!

After getting a very large raise last year, I was all prepared to get a minimal raise this year, which it seemed like it would - a little less than 4%. However, I just found out that something was in the works and I'm getting just under 8% ON TOP OF THAT!

Sorry to celebrate excessively, but I have to share with someone, and anybody else I wouldn't want to while I'm at the office.

maybe vacation information for a language group, like a spanish speaking group?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo, Frank!

I love my debit card because it lets me pay "cash" without actually having any cash. Of course, I also love my current job for paying me enough that I can generally buy things I want with money I already have.

Since I am newly working for The Man, what is a low/normal/high raise these days?

Yay raise!

I need to come up with an idea for an information service for a professional or cultural group for a group assignment at school.

A way for professionals to barter skills, like trading web design for accounting?

A way for people who work at home to get together for brainstorming, meet for lunch or share information? (www.workatjelly.com is trying this, but it's a little too casual for me.)

A service that helps small businesses find green products, recycle and reduce their energy use? Big businesses have a clear economic gain doing a lot of these things, but small business doesn't have the time or resources.

The status is NOT quo.

My pay days are the 15th and last day of the month
Mine too, and I hate it. I loved getting paid every other week, just for those beautiful three-paycheck months. Of course, if we weren't all living paycheck-to-paycheck, it wouldn't make such a difference. Argh. Until embarrassingly recently, it never even occurred to me that someone wouldn't live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Congrats, Frank! Great news!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Megan, it depends on who you're working for. If you've got Frank's boss, you got great raises (congrats, Frank!!). If you've got mine, and you give a decent if not glowing review, you give that employee a 1.5% raise.

Barely a third the inflation rate.

Sucks.
