So I got a letter from work the other day, one of those touchy feely "great place to work" deals. It really just pissed me off rather than making me feel better about keeping my job. So the salary is so low that no matter how hard they screw you, you can't just turn around and tell them to fuck off, you have to really get pissed off and get something else lined up. Now I just realized that the 401k reimbursement i

[...] quotes Mr. Brown saying the following: 'Training someone for a career makes no sense. At best, you can train someone for a career trajectory...'. What do you think? Should engineering schools be producing tradesmen (like an apprenticeship program) or should they be producing 'thinkers' (people who can cope with a wide variety of problem inside and outside their area of expertise)?

- Today I got to see my latest pay stub (the actual pay comes later.) It's, supprisingly, not the biggest paycheck ever, but it's the biggest consistent paycheck I'll expect to recieve.
- Saturday Josie and I are putting a bid in for a house. The salary adjustment will help with that.
- I have a half dozen old fasioned donuts and a large

Money makes me depressed. But I basically agree with one point made in the article. I don't really care how big my slice is, I just want it to be comprable to my peers. I look around and I see houses, nice cars, etc. I look at my budget...and I can't. I simply can't.
I guess I'm aiming too high for my age. That o

I totally want one. I have no idea what I would do with it, but I WANT ONE!!!
I could...uhhh....make my own 6-disc dvd holder! You can only buy those damn things in bulk online, that or you have to buy a game that's packaged in one.

It was fun, what more can I say?
Cult of the Seagull.

Sooo, I get a little ringy-dingy. Turns out my location lead wants to talk. After a moment of panic, I say okay... ... He gave me a raise. Not a huge one, but not small either.
Mmmmmm, I feel a lot less trapped now, because I don't feel like running as much anymore. ^_^
After January I'll have to rework my monthly budget, beef up my savings plan, and dare I say it... have a clothing budge

FYI eightbit.org now points towards my livejournal.
Not that anyone should care, really. But I just went through the hassle of remembering my everydns username/password to make sure that my domain even still exists, and it does, so now there's living proof.
Yeah... In case you ever thought I would start using eightbit.org again, I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm too lazy to setup a webserver and
