Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What bon bon said.
Indeed. And while the government says they don't negotiate, they actually do: they just might have to get approval from higher up the chain to meet your salary requirements. When I took this job originally, they offered me the bottom of the grade, and I pointed out that it was a $10K pay cut. Once I'd provided proof of my current salary, they moved the offer up a couple of steps to something roughly equivalent. But it took six weeks for the final offer to come through, and I was Very Stressed Out by the time it did.
But.... you're going to Hawaii? That's good!
Yes, I keep reminding myself of that.

That round of thunderstorms was unexpected...
We didn't get any storms over here! Just threatening skies.
It didn't rain much, just wind, thunder and lightning. Looks like it pretty much passed just north of here. When I checked the weather at 5, no sign or forecast of them at all.
we got buckets of water tossed down. buckets. It was like the region was dunked in the water event at the county fair.
Must stop reading the comments on the news stories about the fires. Must stop reading idiots who say the firemen must be drawing out the fire so they can get paid more. Must not use google-fu to find these idiots with combustibles.
Between Burrell’s UPS and Connie’s commenters, the stupid is strong tonight.
