Tommy Gavin on Rescue Me has dreams like that. But he's a. fictional and 2. not Okay(but sometimes he can make a nervous breakdown seem very hot) I never knew if I should believe in that or not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When the door codes changed at my old job, it usually meant someone was fired in a escorted out the door kind of way.
That hasn't really seemed to be the case here in the past, and apparently is not the case today.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That used to be the case in my office when someone was fired, as opposed to leaving on their own accord. Now we have key cards, and HR just takes them back.

If the median household income in your area is X, what is a reasonable salary expectation for a single young professional to have?
I don't know that household income is really relevant for salary expectations. Your industry would be more of an issue, I think.

ION: my iPhone is now my Starbucks card.
I love living in the world the books of my youth called "science fiction".

Not as much as Starbucks and Apple love having you in their demographic.

An interesting video.
A 1959 Chevy vs. a 2009 Chevy in a head-on offset collision test. No surprise which car does better, but it's pretty dramatic.

Well, you just took money - legal tender in all 50 states - and put it in a card that says "may spend only at Starbucks." So Starbucks already has your future spending. They're making interest off it. And you can't buy a beer with your Starbucks card.
So I maintain that they have the shiftier eyes. And Apple makes that seem cool.

I've had Starbucks cards since the company introduced them, and my family is full of alcoholics, so drinking beer is a once- or twice-yearly thing. Coffee, though, is several-times-a-day.
Apple simply lets me continue doing something I've been doing for years in a shiny, candy-like fashion.
