        I like the taste of food. I don't want to mask it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 20:59 2
        
        is this the same reason for the gravy hatey? -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 21:04 1

- corporate has talked about more cuts, on top of the not-working centralization they pulled on us. It's miserable times. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 19:11 1
  - not-working centralization? My department just had three programmers let go and last year they forced 7 unpaid days off on us - zork Feb 17, 19:24
- you got a great deal. I'm still unemployed. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:11 18
  - it's not a great deal. I have a job, sure, but the pay is so far under what it should be that really ... -- nm - sluttella Feb 17, 19:14 17
    - depends how you look at it, I guess. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:16 16
      - it's hard to not see how far behind you are from where you should be - zork Feb 17, 19:21 14
        
        yeah, that's just exactly what I needed to hear right now. - loosilu Feb 17, 19:24 1

        and, unfortunately, not likely to make it up, for no reason other than bad timing. - znufrii Feb 17, 19:23 2
        
        and it's not just getting your salary up to where it should be. All those years of making less means so much less paid on a mortgage or to retirement -- nm - zork Feb 17, 19:31 1
        
        definitely. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 19:44
        
        this is it precisely. is the stress worth what I'm making? is "having a job" enough? - sluttella Feb 17, 19:22 8
        
        speaking as someone who don't got one, it's not bad. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:25 2
        
        it's splitting hairs, you're right. but a job that you feel is fair-paying and a "job" are two different things. - sluttella Feb 17, 19:29 1
        
        your thing is way better than temping. I do see your point, though. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:35

        I have really minimal student loans and I keep telling myself that my job until fall 2011 is to pay those off so I can go back to school. if I hate - sluttella Feb 17, 19:27 3
        
        I don't like these Mandy show prospects. Can't you go back to hosiery for us? -- nm - zork Feb 17, 19:29 2
        
        are you joking? back in school is great ratings! my doa was the "gay waiter who flamed out and quit" on the restaurant. - sluttella Feb 17, 19:31 1
        
        (we're going to get *tacos* or something. that episode is for sweeps.) -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 19:33
      - you could temp. make minimal money, but still be employed. it'd be kind of demoralizing, but it'd be cash. kind of the same thing. -- nm - sluttella Feb 17, 19:20

  - r u tenure track? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:11 4
    - Yes. -- nm - nubby Feb 17, 19:12 3
      - that's good right there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:12 2
        
        They can still fire me at a whim until tenure. -- nm - nubby Feb 17, 19:19 1
        
        you could be a postdoc. guaranteed unemployed in a year. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:26
