Because books.

I would think maybe almost double that per day, or offer a nice round flat fee, like $300 or something.

I am exhausted by the last week of school.

Right there with you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I agree, if you want her to stay there for the nights, I'd offer a bit more.

I only took msbelle to the best cocktail bar in the U.S.

Pfft. 7 in Seattle and 1 in San Francisco? Bullshit. And they didn't even get the best one in SF. Invalid.

Though I'm sure msbelle's drink was tasty.

Those bars look delicious. I've been to a couple in Seattle but do t know why i haven't been to the others! Possibly because they aren't in my neighborhood. ;). But I have been to the one in Minneapolis, I met up with a friend there!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks, guys. I think I'll offer $300 and hope that's not too cheap. I don't want to shortchange her, but this trip is already costing us a fortune...

3 in New Orleans, though, that sounds about right.

Awesome cocktails sounds great! Well done, Tom Scola.

Me, I got home from work, ready to feed/walk the dog and then run out to dinner with some friends--to discover disastrous dog digestive failure ALL OVER the house. Well, no, not all over, because she missed the ceramic tile floor in the kitchen and instead hit the two newest carpets, multiple times.

So, no dinner with friends for me. Instead I spent half an hour cleaning disgusting things off the floor, opened a bottle of wine, and ate some vegetable gyoza from TJs. Not quite the same thing.

I am still recovering from surgery, but man, I am wiped out at the end of each day, and yet I wake up at 3 AM. Bah.

Oh, Suela, dang, nobody deserves that. This is the dog that won't be crated though, right?

Yah, she's not much good with being crated. Tends to chew on the bars and break her teeth, and it's generally just bad. If there are other dogs around she's okay, but I can't crate her alone in the house.

Someday I will have a non-neurotic dog that can be crated. Sigh.

And now it's time to go to bed again. At least I managed to convince BofA that I was NOT DEAD so I'm hoping my credit record isn't ruined.

Our wings are not tired.

That sucks SO much, Consuela, I am sorry! I thought I had it bad coming home to a skunked Cayenne. I'd rather deal with skunk over digestive issues any day. It's just one thing after another for you and I am sorry. I hope you're back to full strength energy soon and can enjoy your bionic ear.

Calli I am sorry you're having to look for a job! I know you've been interested in possibly moving anyway, but it always sucks to have those decisions made for you.

I don't know if this appeals to any job seekers here, but I did read that American Express is hiring a TON of people for remote jobs. You do have to have a verifiable set-up at home (I think a consistently quiet place, a separate telephone line, and strong internet, but maybe they set you up with something?). Anyway the key search term to use is Axcess.
