this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Busting people doesn't mean she has to pop up and say, "A-ha! I've nabbed you, you dastardly devil!" Busting people can mean you just hand information over to other people who are in a better position to do the nabbing. She did the hard work of giving you the slip, even if she had reservations. Otherwise, she could have sat on it and pretended it didn't exist.

This. She doesn't have to be the avenger leading the charge (in fact, I'd say that she *shouldn't* be), but she did help, and that means other kids in her school are going to be safe.

Y'all, this is verbatim from the email I just got:

"Graphic Designer (Pay Range %2444,000 to %2457,500)."

Are they paying in Bitcoin, or something?

What even does that pay range MEAN???

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What even does that pay range MEAN???

CryptoCurrency for CryptoFascists!

%24 is the encoded character for $, so it should be $44,000 to $57,500.

ALSO I fully support David's campaign to drag this guy to hell.

Shrift, I'm both grateful for your explanation and sad it isn't a weirder one.

It's probably more fun to pretend my explanation doesn't exist so we can come up with a currency that would be appealing to Graphic Designers.

We should pay them in Meep Morps. Which is indicated by: [infinity symbol, glyph, poop emoji]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Supporting Matilda etc mostly silently without even email because working the front desk today and my boss wants me to enter invoices in between fielding calls form people trying to drop off warranty returns at our other location.

Y'all! I have an interview tomorrow with my old boss for essentially my old position. Cautiously optimistic. Part of me is still kind of mad at the company and not sure about staying regardless, though.
