Someone gave me a link to another pseudicide story, this one in the LA Weekly.
Oh, that one! That's the one the pseudicider got sued in court, but the court threw it out just recently, claimed it wasn't really fraud, IIRC.
And yeah, the irony is strong in that one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sure! I only got to see one island, so clearly I need to go back and spend a lot of money on sushi.
Hmmmmm

Emilyn was (is?) a NYT writer, right?
She's with The New Yorker now.
Wow. Taste the irony.
Wow.

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

Actually, they get lower rates for higher-ranked positions, but higher rates for entry-level and low-skill positions.
Which works out to lower pay overall.

I actually think those are all cute (including the incomprehensible-in-theory fuzzy flip-flops - they actually look cozy). But my taste level aspires to be questionable.

Federal employment rant alert: I saw a job ad for a web manager for the NEH website today. It's a GS-15 and starting pay is $123K. It requires 2 years managing a Drupal site and experience in an academic or similar setting.
My husband, who has a PhD in engineering, is only a GS-13, and his pay grade tops out well under that. WTF?

I don't understand enough of the words in your post to properly share your outrage, flea. But I am sympathetically outraged because I trust you.

Well, GS-15 is the top rank of federal employees, before you get the the level of political appointees. Where mr. flea works, it's a Senior Scientist or Branch Chief position. Whereas the NEH website is important, of course, but it's actually quite a bit less complex than the average University's web presence, I would argue.
