"No, sir, that's not a bribe to make the ticket go away. That 20% is because I feel you gave exceptional service during this traffic stop."
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have worked in a couple of tip-based-income jobs and I can get very angry if I read the missives of people who think tipping is optional. I have decided for my own sanity it's better if I avoid them. My motto is: if you can afford the food, you can afford the tip.

Every time I'm in the States, I make DH pay for basically everything, because I'm terrified of tipping wrong.
Over here, my theory is, if you earn more than me, I don't tip you. So I tip wait staff, but not hairdressers or taxi drivers. It's not a hard and fast rule though.

I pretty much tip everyone 20% because the math is easy.

OMG, I got a job!! Doing exactly what I hoped I'd be doing when we moved down here!!Nora, that is fabulous! Congratulations! Makes Friday even better!
Today I have no crew in to help sort stuff, so my work motivation is low. While looking through a website that has a good battery checker for work, (co-worker has one, and linked me to the site), I came across this, and thought it might be fun for some of our group: Skull Shaped Egg Fryers They also had some Nightmare Before Christmas stuff too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Woohoo Nora!

Headdesk moment of the day:
I call my mom to tell her about my job:
Mom: that's great, congratulations! Are they paying you a lot?
Me: Um. No... see, it's a small non profit and what they do is-
Mom: (interrupts, disappointed) Oh.
ISTG.

As long as you cover your cost of living, how much a job pays ≠ how good a job is. There is huge mental compensation for doing a job that matters.
