  4. Does that mean you would assume my debt as part of this deal? If so, I'll take it! Skydiving is for cool people only

    No, it's a futon in my den and a beer (or six) on my porch. Always. I may be able to satisfy myself on that count soon though. Skydiving is for cool people only

    If you come to Texas, you are encouraged to stay at Jessica's Home for Wayward Skydivers™. Skydive San Marcos will allegedly have a super otter and chopper by then. Skydiving is for cool people only

  9. I love you in a lezzer way, too. Lezzer is my new favorite word. I don't care if people look at me askance when I use it loudly, in public places, without a modicum of subtlety. Skydiving is for cool people only

  14. My newspaper ran the following in a wire story: "The Hercules C-130, a U.S. made military cargo plane capable of carrying 124 troops...." A reader called to state it can only carry 68. Anyone know where I can find this out? Skydiving is for cool people only
  15. No no, I would use the salt on the margaritas that we would drink in front of you. Then I would swipe your Jedei. Thus completing the circle of what y'all did to wildblue when he was broken. When I was thinking about cutting away I got some good advice in a thread I started in General Skydiving. I'm home on a dialup so I'm not gonna look for it though. Skydiving is for cool people only

  19. Ha!!! I'm going to be in Dallas Oct. 2-5 AND Oct. 17-19...good timing. Skydiving is for cool people only
  20. Ah, thank you. I have no intention of walking away because of a few thou, and I have a very good relationship with my managers. I just think I should be earning more money and want to see if I can get it. If not, OK. It's not going to be the acrimonious thing many of y'all seem to be envisioning. I've got industry pay stats to back me up, too. No worries y'all, I got my back. Skydiving is for cool people only
  21. I don't think my work environment is such that they're going to can me for asking for a raise. They'll either say yes, or no, here's your 3 percent. Skydiving is for cool people only
  22. Did they really lay you off because you asked for more money? Layoffs aren't a big issue in my industry. I'm not wanting a huge increase. I'm too scared to ask for that. Just what I consider to be close to fair. Skydiving is for cool people only
  23. Today is my second service anniversary for the company I work for. I was hired to do a very basic job, and my responsibilities increased DRAMATICALY almost immediately after I started. I didn't get any more money, though. At my one-year review, I got a 3 percent raise. I didn't argue. Now, though, I think I ought to be paid for the job I'm doing, and have been doing for almost two years, rather than the job I was hired for. The problem is, I think they might have already put in a 3 percent request to the big boys and already gotten it approved. I'm thinking about handing in a letter with my self-eval that reads something like this: Dear Boss: In light of my upcoming annual performance review, I am requesting a salary increase that reflects my hard work and dedication as an editor at the Express-News. Two years ago, I was hired by XXXXX as a copy editor, doing blah blah blah. Very shortly after starting, my responsibilities increased dramatically. I now spend most of my workweek on blah blah blah, yet my salary has not increased to reflect this. One year after my start date, I was given a 3 percent raise, which is an accepted cost-of-living standard increase for a job that has remained static. I have researched the salary range for someone in newspaper journalism with my job responsibilities, and I believe that an appropriate salary would be $XX,XXX. Sincerely, Jessicakes Thoughts? Advice?
