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

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.

Found out that my uncle has prostate cancer.(My parents told me during our weekly phone call) Don't know the prognosis yet.

That's... really ridiculous. Who do we know who needs a job?
Sheryl, I'm so sorry. I hope it's one of the easily-treated kinds.

Sheryl,
oh dear! How do they not know the prognosis?
