No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Yeah-- we never, ever get anything but COLA-- our "merit" raises are 3%!

I am lucky because a) I got a huge increase at my previous job at the uni and b) I was reclassifie709ooooooooooooooooo9999999999999999987pppppppppp

last year.

Also, I decided to leave the effectsof my cat on the keyboard.

That which does not kill you should RUN

In academia, we laugh at your COLA. Does not exist. You get your 2.75% annual "merit" raise and are supposed to be thankful.

ETA Except in years where we get no raise at all.

Hey, that's MY job! (And we're not even academia....)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, last year was the first in my career where I got a "standard" pay increase.

ION, I heard my grandmother say "fuck" this evening. I am traumatized. Granted, she was reporting someone else's conversation, but STILL.

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

Sophia, your cat has stretched the board.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

OK, buffalo burgers tonight were considerably better than Play-Do coonsistency cheesy rice last night.
