Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

ChiKat, I'm so sorry. It's killing me, to know that in so many countries the public sector workers are paying the price of failed decisions of economy and proprieties. It's showing the danger and failure of taking it as obvious. Here, in Israel, the social workers are on strike. You can imagine it wasn't an easy decision for them to act so.
I hope for a good, steady, fulfilling job for you, next year.
ION, bt, it's wonderful to read your thoughts about your relationship with DW.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Speaking of Nutella, this recipe claims to be a homemade version thereof: [link]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I still love Nutella but it tastes very different to me now than it did when I was a kid. It's way too sweet. Are they making a more sugary version just for north amercans?

I think a lot of the undervaluing of fields like education and social services comes from that they are still seen as skills that fall into the traditioally female skills sets of nurturing and communication, and are therefore of less value innately than the "hard" sets of skills seen as more masculine.

Yes.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

This. And yet, somehow, it is the teachers' faults for being selfish and greedy and earning those high salaries and terrific pensions. Even the Chicago Tribune was talking about the "high" pensions teachers get. An average of $44K/year compared to the social security average of $3?K/year (don't remember exactly, but it was in the mid- to high-30K range). The paper never mentioned that teachers PAY into their pension. It's not a gift. And teachers don't qualify for social security.
I hope for a good, steady, fulfilling job for you, next year.
Thank you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And teachers don't qualify for social security.
WHAT?

And teachers don't qualify for social security.
I echo that "WHAT?". I totally didn't realize that. Why on earth not? Are there any other professions that don't?

That's the case for a lot (don't know if it's all) state employees.
