Here is the important question, sarameg: what color? (also, congrats on the new vehicle)
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Brava, sarameg!
As a final example of how fubar my employers are, I just got a call from my actual legal employer (the contracting firm): apparently the period of performance on my contract ends TODAY.
As in, no point in coming in tomorrow, I won't get paid for it.
That's kind of awesome.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Consuela, every time I think your job can't get more screwy, it does, even at the end. I feel like you aren't going to make it out the door at quitting time today without a cow falling out of the ceiling tiles.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, I bought a car. 2013 Mazda2
Congrats, sarameg. The Mazda 2 is cute!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
At the financial firm where I work, they're fairly adamant about the difference between adviser and advisor. I'm not sure if it's a style thing or if there's some regulatory reason behind it.

I think you should dedicate that song by Cee Lo to them. (one of my favorite You-Tubes is "Fuck You" narrated in ASL.)

Which is?

Brenda, I was trying to look it up, and I think that 'adviser' carries more implication of fiduciary responsibility per ERISA and the like. Anyhow, we use advisor with an O.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I almost always use "advisor" - but my sole use is to describe a relationship between a faculty member/staff member to a student.
I have not used that term any other way.
