Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And what does the instructor's salary have to do with how much the overhead is? Aaargh. Oh well.
It's an average -- overall, the U. knows it spends X on salaries and .5X on overhead (apparently -- in my experience, overhead is calculated on everything, not just salaries, but I'll go with it). So instead of figuring the exact specifics each time (flyers, IT, whatever), you just use the 52% every time, and it works out over the year.

Jesse has it. I work with this type of calculation with our engineering projects and we use similar calcuations when deciding to go after a project.
The search CJ was working on Sunday is still continuing (CJ is at school though). He is going nuts, wanting a conclusion.

Yoiks. Okay, I finally gave up and went and dumped on The New Boss about My Nemesis. I am informed that I come across as "sharp". (Woops.)
OTOH, he had some good ideas for how to manage working with My Nemesis, even though it's clear they're never going to get rid of her.

Sharp?! After what they've done to you Suela, I'd say that "sharp" is a fairly benign reaction. I'd be more "cut a bitch."

I always expect that I come across as sharp. Hello, I am from Boston and I work in a female-dominated profession in Georgia. I am in the dictionary next to sharp.

Trust my rage
I must be not sharp because when I first read that, I thought the boss meant "smart". (The whoops clued me.)

Don't google "rasta crossdresser", but the way.
You know, when ita ! tells you to avoid something, it's probably a good idea to do so.

Careful, you could puncture the hull of an Empire Class Fire Nation battleship, leaving thousands to drown at sea...because you're so sharp.
