BTW, current theory is that the particularly virulent form of the plague that emerged in the 14th century had its origin in marmots in the general area of Kyrgyzstan.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Without much information, I might start with asking for a raise of 5-10% and see what happens.
Good call, Le Nub! I got 8%, retroactive to Aug 1.

Oh, man. Is it wrong that I want to take a picture of a marmot and simply caption it with "SOON"?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In the 4th Doctor adventure, Pyramids of Mars, You have the villain Sutekh announcing "I bring Sutekh's gift of death to all humans". On the DVDs, you had an entertaining interview with Sutekh, who was fretting about his public image. They then showed him going door to door (in full regalia) with a box and announcing, "I bring you Sutekh's gift of marmots."
And now I know why he chose marmots.
