Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, this is kind of nice I guess. From the intro letter with the release of my company's annual report last night from the CEO:
You will also read that, in asking our colleagues to make financial sacrifices to strengthen the firm in difficult times, I believe that I should do the same. So while our Board’s Compensation Committee offered me a significant performance bonus and restricted stock award for the firm’s accomplishments in 2008, I have respectfully declined the offer.
The president of our University is giving 30% of his salary back to the University and not taking a pay raise. I guess it is expected that University Presidents will give at least 15 % at any time, which I think is weird.
Now if they'd just get the football coaches to do the same thing, we'd be getting somewhere.
I am awake already, on my day off.
Why?
Uh-oh. Study: Tuesday At 11:45AM Is The Most Stressful Time Of Week
Researchers found that nearly half of British workers identified mid-morning on their second working day of the week as the moment when they were most under pressure.
Most workers coast through Monday getting their brain in gear and catching up with gossip from the weekend through social networking sites.
But on Tuesday reality sets in and staff spend the first part of the day going through emails they ignored on Monday before planning the week ahead.
And 11.45am is the point when everything comes to a head.
hey lisah! You should totally come to LA (for Thanksgiving!) so we can go to yoga together!
I would love to!
Yeah, my CEO is taking a bigger paycut than the rest of us -- and the least-paid people don't have any paycut at all, which I think is really great. You know, "great" in context.
I wonder if Jesse and bon bon know that Pat Kiernan is Canadian. A friend on another site posted that she was, some time ago, at a "Canadians in the media" reception held at the Canadian consulate office in NY, and Pat Keirnan was there. Malcolm Gladwell was also there, and very excited to see Pat Kiernan, but too shy to actually go up and speak to him.
And do they know that he's taking his morning papers on the web: [link]
I've got so many bruises. The chaos at home is making me so clumsy. I've tripped over the dishwasher door twice and smacked the top of my foot into it (maybe I should keep it closed?) fell over inexplicably in the closet yesterday, wobbled taking off my coat last night and nailed myself on the doorknob....I know they talk about pregnancy clumsiness, how about moving clumsiness?
