Many points, Sox!
OK, I have work to do and I need to visit with Dad, but I'm going running this morning. I am, I am.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

... except I just got an almost-offer from the contracting firm. Except they want to pay me less than the amount that they never made me an offer with, and they want me to be a 1099 employee.
I'm getting pretty aggravated with these folks.
What's the differential for 1099 vs employee? $10K/year for benefits, plus 7.5% for payroll tax?

not your mom's socks.
Consuela, that's crazy making.
That I want a puppy is msbelle's fault.
I may buy myself something nice today. Like a generator. And some more rock salt.
Sheryl - are you guys still thinking Boston is a go?

At my place of employment we figure benefits are worth about 23% above salary.
Although I am a person-relative of Sox, I am not that person-relative! I am a totally different kind of pain in her arse. Just to be clear.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Seriously, Consuela?!? Personally I think they should pay you way more, to make up for the pain and suffering of working for them.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I keep checking the weather for my flights -- flying to Chicago tonight, connecting through Detroit. It looks like the weather should be OK for going there, but possibly not for coming back on Friday. But if I'm a day or two late coming back, it'll be OK.

Highs in the 50s--in Utah in February! 12 years ago we were holding the Olympics! We're having temperatures like Sochi, which is a summer resort! The upside is it should be raining for the rest of the week, which means snow in the mountains. Yay, water!

We have a 13% benefit rate for employees at my uni- the department has to pay that to central administration, and they use that pot of money to pay for our benefits.
This is the description of one of the lunches at work to day and it is making me laugh like a loon:

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
