I have my first AMA article to edit! I'm a real working stiff again! (Hilariously, my old company likely needs me to freelance for them soon -- they sold the journals, but not the textbooks they publish, and 2 books need new editions soon. One is a reprint with minor revisions, but one is re-written and will need editing, typesetting -- the whole enchilada. We'll see what happens.)
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have that itchy thing where I want to go shopping, but for nothing in particular. hmmph.
Do you have a zulily account? They're toxic/perfect for that. You can always find something, and it doesn't have to be over $10.

If your manager says that you're very self-aware and that people are struggling to suggest areas for improvement that you're not already addressing on your own, that's probably a good performance review, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's snowing here in Highland Park. It looks like we're right on the boundary between rain and snow here.

In other news: If a job posting says "submit cover letter, resume, and salary requirements", and I don't submit the salary requirements, will they just ignore my resume?
I just hate doing that.

OK, I'm just saying that I'm looking for salary consistent with the market and my experience and qualifications. That's fair, yes? I answered the question without giving them a number.
