All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy birthday, Tom!
I have a Good Stuff question. I remembered to click to get "submit a video" but do I need to use youtube's embed code or just the video link code?

You want the embed code for that.
But I still have to figure out how to properly post pictures that are just linked. I guess I could download the pic, and then post it with the ref. I've been doing them lately as pics in the description of a link, but that makes them not show up on the dashboard page.

Thanks. I don't know why I keep forgetting how to do that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Having fake appreciation stuff instead of raises doesn't really do much for my morale either. Especially when they hand out things called "tokens" that you're supposed to give to your coworkers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know why it's so annoying to submit a picture! You can totally just put the link and I can fix it up.

Ok! I will. That's what I was doing, but I thought it was because I was lazy!

Of course, you can save and upload if you really want to.....

Happy birthday, Scola!
I'm in a jacked up position with our company because I'm contract, there's a hiring freeze, my boss has been trying to get me perm since before that. I'm doing much more than I was hired to do, but I can't get a raise for it, because that would require negotiations with the contractor company and they can't because of the sale. I can't even take PTO because there's no way of knowing if the TO will get Ped.
I still want to stick it out and see what happens because I love the company, my coworkers, and the job itself. I get credit and I'm learning so much and it actually uses all of my skills instead of letting my, say, creative skills languish while I use my cat herding skills. Plus it makes use of my pop culture knowledge and I get to write about tv and movies I like on occasion.
If I could just move on I would, but I would regret it if I could have stayed and left the perfect job. It's frustrating.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ack, DJ, that's super frustrating.
I got... one or two raises in the 8 years I worked for a state university. Teeny ones. Once we got 40 hrs bonus leave instead, but just once. I don't anticipate getting much of a raise ever at my new job, either. Oh, well.
