The Benoit case [link] does appear to be murder/suicide.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So now that I've completely failed to give useful grammar advice, I need job-hunting help. I've been doing contract work lately, but have a potential in at a mondo big law firm. Of course, they have a correspondingly big employment application. As far as salary goes, should I put something down? Something that roughly corresponds to what I've been making contract-wise? Or should I stick to the principle of making them name a number first?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

This.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Joke, right? The site has a weird feel. So spare.

Unethical psychology study. Smaller in scope than the Stanford prisoners or the one where you hear screams of a purported torture session, but damn. Kid's not even a year old.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So where the application has a box for salary, do I put "negotiable"? "dependent on benefits"?

Can you leave it blank?
