Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[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.
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.
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.
I totally agree, omnis!
Nora: fantastic news! Congratulations.
Oh my, doing something you care about is so much more important than the pay rate. Compensation comes in other ways than cash.
Yaaaaaay NORA! That's great news! As omnis said, as long as you're making enough, being happy is more important than being paid a lot. (You're nicer than me. If it were my mom, I would have probably told her it was volunteer position, just to hear her reaction.)
I pretty much tip everyone 20% because the math is easy.
My thinking exactly. Though sometimes I'll tip more if an exact 20% means taking like one dollar out of the change. No matter how much it is, taking back one dollar makes me feel cheap, like, I calculated *precisely* how much the tip should be and they're not getting a penny more!
