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.
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.
Also, I bought a car. 2013 Mazda2
Congrats, sarameg. The Mazda 2 is cute!
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.

What she said, sheesh!
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.
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.
I've seen the spelling "adviser" re: political advisers, but for some reason "advisor" has more of an academic feel. Like Advisor is an actual title and an Adviser is someone who just sticks their 2 cents in.
