Does this mean they'll be bringing you on as an employee, or are you staying contract but with shinier terms?
Still contract, but more guaranteed hours (not quite double my average month currently, but close) and a higher rate.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

And in other news, drat! I found a typo on the version of the resume I've sent to several jobs in the past couple of days.
Phew! It was just on my LinkedIn profile (which I'd thought I'd built by cut and pasting resume info, but I guess not entirely). Anyway, that hasn't seen much traffic yet, so I guess it's less of an "argh" situation than I'd thought.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm getting amused at couponing facebook groups this week. There are about 15 different ways to get free (or better than free) Dial body wash right now. People on couponing groups generally post pictures of all the stuff they bought, and then list how much each thing cost, what coupons and deals were used, final cost, rebates, and so on. I just scrolled through about 20 pictures that all had at least 10 bottles of body wash, and then maybe a bit of food, too. (I don't even use the stuff, but with the combinations of coupons and store deals I have, I can essentially end up about $5 richer than I started after buying a bunch of it, so I'm getting it and donating it.)
