I will just take all the money I've saved to buy a plane ticket to Hawaii this fall. We're waffling on what islands, though. Maui and Big Island, maybe? Or maybe just Big Island, because volcanoes.

Because books.
Porn sex vs. real sex, explained with food. Not really NSFW, but better safe than sorry, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's hilarious.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Is it too much to ask that the guy(senior scientist) I work with let me know when he won't be in the lab? I was able to do some things today, but I'll have to wait for the next time he comes in to discuss the results.(With luck, that will be tomorrow)

I hope my previous post doesn't read as self-righteous because and back-patting as I think it does. I do not want to be that ex-smoker. I was just doing the math on how much a pack costs here and realized it actually would pay for a ticket to Hilo, oh my god.

Not at all, shrift. One thing that motivates me much more than health (sadly) is saving the money I spend on smoking.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I have seen a number of people successfully quit smoking when it really started to hit them in the wallet. I can see that can be a very effective and efficient motivation. When backed into a corner with money, it's hard to argue with the numbers in the budget, but "trying to be healthy" can go right out the window when the right stressor comes around.

You should totally pat yourself on the back! And yes, the money would be a big motivator for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 has a job posting: [link] Why don't they post a salary? Because I am passably qualified for that (I did a fair number of their SPN reviews last season, for crying out loud), but I actually like my real job and the amount it pays me.
