Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bankruptcy law is probably the most stable job out there right now.
The work is steady, but you might not get paid.

Question re: office etiquette:
We use an instant messaging system for internal communications. That system has the means to send an instant message as opposed to initiating a chat. I just sent an instant message to a supervisor, and now I'm wondering if I should ahve sent an email. The instant message will pop up in all its glory on the screen, but the email only pops up the little envelope in the corner. What is the line between "pop up in yo face, sucka!" and "by the way, there's another new email in your inbox, sir." My message was in regards to overtime over the weekend, which is moderately important information mid-afternoon on a Friday, but possibly not instant message urgent.

Paulson’s “all your bailout are belong to me” proposal,
I liked the quote from... the Washington Post, I think?
In a world where credit markets are frozen, where banks refuse to lend to each other at any price, only one man, with one plan can save us...

I don't use IM so I don't have any sense of the etiquette.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm also not an IM user. But I'd say if supervisor needs to know soon and tends to be -- shall we say, imperfectly vigilant -- in checking e-mail, I'd say your position is at least defensible.

So, why are Guiliani and his wife traveling with the McCains to the debate tonight? I was speculating last night that this whole situation might give McCain, king of the Hail Marys, an excuse to dump Palin and go back to Mitt. (Not that I think it's necessarily likely, but it does seem like the kind of thing McCain would do.) But I don't see how that calculation would work with Rudy, and I don't recall them having anything good to say about one another, so I wonder what's up?
