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.

Timelies all!
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?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
...and that you can tell from the bands he listed as favorites that it was really ghost-written by a 13 year old girl. Essentially.
…
So are mine. Really.
But seriously, Rio isn't married to Bob Saget, either. If someone has real health problems and makes a jokey explanation for them, I don't really care.
The lines between code and lies and euphemism and just the way we talk about things to deal with them at all get pretty clouded even without the fact that we all talk textually.
but you don't get to pretend we know each other in a healthy way...fuck off.
You know, this is actually how I feel when TVTropes comes up.
I am sorry, Sheryl.
How do they not know the prognosis?
Speaking as someone with a recently diagnosed cancer patient in the family? Pretty easily. Especially early on. It's really more art than science. A good and scientific art, but art.
In things that matter to no one but me, there is an up and coming racing driver named Victor Carbone and (I think) because Nestor Carbonell played a character named Victor in Ringer, I picture him. The kid kinda looks like him too. Which makes it no less confusing.
