16 kids in my last class, 4 turned in their assignment. What part of "this is being graded" didn't they understand? Oh well. I am leaving a very detailed note for their real teacher.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'm a little late to the party regarding your coworker Sophia, but it seems to me that she's gotten a bad rap. She went out of her way to be sensitive and to be helpful and offer what she thought were good solutions.

Now, she's wrong, that's not the issue, but calling her a horrible person and saying that she's a terrible coworker is unfair, when it seems that she was honestly trying to help.

I don't know what is in my TIAA-CREF account (403(b)), but I do get a run down of what is in my investment account w/ my financial adviser.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I may need to officially report my 401K investments to my job, now that I think about it. The financial sector is confusing.

Everything about the financial sector confuses the hell out of me and I remain very glad that so far I've had to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Your situation may differ, bon. But I've only had to report mutual funds, not the securities that the funds hold.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's good to know, although I take your caveat.

The great majority of the work I've done since I've been in California has been in the financial sector, and lo, I know jack.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That was true of me when I lived in San Francisco.

I know that if you work for a credit card company, you shouldn't leave papers with credit card numbers lying on your desk when you go home. That's one of the things I learned.

Hi all! I have no voice today. Luckily, on the internets, I don't have to whisper.

Allyson, are you having a book opening for Sam? I am hugely excited about the book, and now that I see everyone is getting their copies already, I hope to have mine soon.

Also, love the pics, msbelle. Dang when did E get all growned up? He looks so big boy now.
