You all have been too productive today.
I am just wallowing in PMS ick and having yet another bout of existential crisis in the world's slowest mid-life crisis.

Here's the WSJ take on advisor/adviser: [link] Apparently there are some financial people who are implying that an "advisor" has fiduciary responsibility and an "adviser" does not. As I understand it, investment advisers or advisors have fiduciary responsibility, while financial advisers, whatever the spelling, do not.
I was a student publications adviser, and, at least back then, the national organization cared very much about that "e."

Consuela, every time I think your job can't get more screwy, it does, even at the end.
Truly. Should make a funny story eventually, I hope.

I'm pretty sure car shopping is one of the times you are allowed to be an asshole. Congrats on being done, sarameg!

Did I mention I also formally started the refi for my mortgage? It should cover half the car payment, if all goes well. Course, the car insurance goes up $30/mo, but I knew that.
On sudafed. In a bad mood.

Yay new shiny car!
Consuela, how consistent that the job will end on that note.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So for a get-well card for boss lady, I drew a picture on the back of a stick-figure-her with her faux-hawk pushing a lawn mower and squiggly track of grass leading off behind her. Above is a banner declaring the Mowing Olympics. Below are ten stick-figure judges from various countries holding up score cards, nine of which declare a ten, and one that doesn't. My inscription is "Nine out of ten ain't bad". I'm such an asshole, and can't stop cracking up everytime I think about it.

So since I have moved, my now 8-yr-old car has gotten dinged the fuck up by others. Side-swiped, bad parallel parkers in the front AND back. It isn't bad enough that I look like I got in a wreck but it is dinged.
Should I get a paint job or just assume that more dings will follow?
