I wonder if it actually got pulled because he cut and paste the article instead of pasting the link.  Rick and Mike are cutting down on that for copyright reasons.

It happens every year.  Nov-Feb are kinda rough around here for the moderators but they do a great job and I am not envious of their positions.

It was quite possibly the most riduculous article about how Americans should stop whining and be happy about what they have and the POTUS is good and whiny Americans are bad and we should love the POTUS and thank god we're not Sudanese. Basically it was a kind of `shut up and follow the leader without question' thing.

Yeah...winter is always a little crazy in COJ.  Which reminds me that I should get one of those artificial sunlight lights this winter.

yah.  Someone forwarded that to me last week, saying Leno said it.  I was like "uhhh...no."  But I didn't say anything to them about it.  Like Leno's going to slam the media that much...duh.

 

ANYWAY...I already ranted a bit at Ryan about the whole thing.  Of course we're selfish.  So?  Try not to be.  Okay.  Now what?

 

I kept getting too p1ssed off at the people who only want to A) argue and B) try to "look" cool in the threads lately, so I have quit reading them for the most part.  You can discuss things w/o getting personal or rude, and you can discuss things w/o TAKING everything personally...but you'd never know it from what some people here write. 



I did enjoy the `What guys want' thread that got yanked.

That's why I like TAN. We don't argue or get snarky here, much.

Hmm... that'd be a long list... and a big raise You're right though, I think if I put together a bunch of things I've been working on and present them all at once... it'll really validate my reasoning for wanting a raise. I'm not tooting my horn, but I'm one of the few people around here that actually covers my salary each year by moving forward with things and saving us money. They could pay me a ton more and it would still be worth it to them to keep me... and I think my boss recognizes that.

We have a bunch of slugs... as do most big companies.

Kinda like those freaking summer students that don't take out the RNA before they freeze the........ (ok, I don't remember anymore of the technical details)

We can summarize as "summer student didn't do something he was supposed to do and lied about doing it". 

About the raise thing, I've always heard that was the best approach to getting a raise.  Make it clear to them what value you bring to the company.

Only because you're a tri-hottie. We don't allow new men in TAN. Unless, of course, they themselves are tri-hotties.

Yes. Thanks Mom and Dad. Though I think we had different parents. So I should say `thanks Moms and Dads.'

I haven't completely accepted you yet. You're physical appearance isn't good enough to give you a free pass.
