[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, but if you get caught, it wreaks havoc with your career advancement. Also, the kind of organization that has sadistic idiots always seems to have a lot of sadistic idiot bench strength.

Yeah, good points.

Why is murder almost never the perfect solution it first seems?

My uncle expects me to be making six figures by 2011, after all.

Your family does seem to have expectations for you that are not necessarily in synch with your expectations.

No disrespect for your family, but... what do * you * want? That is the most important thing.

x-quote from lightbulbs, since it's not really a lightbulbs thing:

omnis, I do know I can tweak my spoiler font/background. I've yet to find a combo that makes it easy and not tiring to read what I want and not see what I don't want.
Ita, I hear ya. I still have the default white background. The pale yellow spoiler works fine, but, it's a white background. I've been debating changing it out, but the spoiler font always stops me dead.

The status is NOT quo.

(Omnis, ita spells her name with a lowercase "i"--just letting you know because I know it is a sore point for her and you'd have no way to know.)

ION, I am off for a long weekend! Woot! Of course I have to grade 46 "Lost Books" of the Odyssey, which is not quite as exciting, but still. Time to GO HOME.

A really bad work environment can suck out so much of your soul and self-confidence that it ultimately won't advance your career.

Not enough WORD in the world. Having had an awful awful work environment in the not too distant past, I learned that it is the most important thing in the work world to me. The bad just took over my whole life and sucked any joy out of it. Thank God I'm out of that hell!

Our wings are not tired.

This is what I feel like, but I also feel like I should be looking out for my career as a professional and an adult and all that. My uncle expects me to be making six figures by 2011, after all.

I am going to be blunt. Being an adult means not giving a rat's ass about your uncle's expectations for *your* career.

Bingo. Also, a really bad work environment can be so stressful that you just wouldn't be able to concentrate on advancing your career.

This. I took a $10K pay cut to move from my last school to this one, and it was worth every lost penny.

Also this.
