I'm planning on watching it, hoping it is Harper's Islandesque.
Seems very much so, so far. Not the same creators or writers, though.
And Sam Neill and MC Gainey are in it, too.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

The current salary thing is a real issue for me because I got screwed on the salary for this job. It's not a real comparison because it's a big leap to go to professional school from undergrad, and it's a different area.

If that doesn't, Christopher bought the kids bubble gum. Bubble. Gum.
This won't end well.
Scissors, bangs.
I will note that Emmett has mastered the rare bubble-inside-a-bubble trick which Matilda (and I) find fascinating.

Emmett's discovered a new app for his iPhone (APOD: Astronomical Picture of the Day. Lots of Hubble awesomeness).
He's wondering what other free apps for the iPhone are similarly fun and awesome?

I presume googlesky has an app? (Hi, I don't use my cell, but I am a total astropimp.)

Packing is becoming more problematic since a) I have no idea what to take and b) my sister has my suitcase.

It's a rare trick? Really? Huh.

I don't know, really. I can't do it. So it's impressive in our family.

I know that one argument that can always be made for increases of more than 10% is that your current salary is "under market". Of course the argument alone (even with evidence) does not win you much, but if you can persuade a boss to want to give you a raise of more than that, this can be legit reason he or she can use to sell it to higher ups. As you say, probably not in this economy.
