At least your income is not subject to someone else's whims?

My income isn't subject to anything except raises, being fired, and the size of my bonuses, which are driven by objective standards.  With the above exceptions, my paycheck is always exactly the same size, no matter what.

Uh huh. Which would be an upside to the situation, correct?

Sure.  When your salary is based on a 40 hour week, and you routinely work 80 hours +.

So basically, I get paid half of what I'm supposedly paid.

Yeah, that would make anyone bitter about it.

I'm less bitter than you'd think.  I enjoy the work (it suits my emergentile™ nature), and I do get paid enough that I don't usually have to sweat the bills.

But still.

Doobie do...got bored of the Commando challenge, so aiming for Biotic Godhood...all I have left to do is the Nova challenge.  Which is surprisingly fun.  The poor human Novaguard is sadly dismissed, because he does not have fancy abilities, or grenades, or massive amounts of hitpoints.  But he does not need these things.  All he needs are enemies to set up tech bursts, and then Nova annihilates the enemy like a cluster grenade.  With fire.  Or ice.  Or electricity.  Or possibly biotics, though the charge should detonate that.  He is a walking grenade.

Sure, I'd rather be playing a drell adept, but banners come first.

Work is delightful today. I am in charge of my department tonight but I have two less than apt coworkers with me. So basically I can run around trying to get everything done myself and still get bitched out for it or . . . fuck off all night until they throw us out.

My friend came within inches of losing his mother to bacterial meningitis in 48 fucking hours. She fell randomly, they got her to the hospital and found heart problems, more tests concluded what it was and they were able to get her stabilized.

Jesus.

Fucking.

Christ.

I've watched meningitis rip through high schools in Florida, but you don't hear about it too much up here. Goddamn, diseases scare the fucking shit out of me. Especially ones that can kill you in 24-48 hours. Ung, that makes me want to get a meningitis shot right now at Walgreens.

Jeez, Roger. And what the hell, Cain? Hope the building manager sides with you, there.


WHY ARE THERE SO MANY HOLISTS? So far, we have Twid, Stellz, and Nigel, I think?

We're just trying to be helpful. Holist is having a hard time making sure all of the thread have an adequate holist content, so we thought we'd assist, to try to keep the board's holist levels within acceptable and safe parameters.

holist is trying to inversly strengthen the homeopathic power of the board.

The dilution of holist with holist amongst the not-holist is both adding more holist but reducing true holist. In effect holist is making concetrated homeopathic holist.
