I'm sorry man. Salary questions asked at the interview level may become illegal one day, I heard somewhere.Celestial Healer wrote:I just hope I didn't low-ball my salary requirements.

It was only the recruiter, though. I can always change my story if it gets to the point where we're really talking salary.

Weird - recruiters usually urge you to higher salary requirements so they get a bigger commission.

Bear in mind your locale. We pay about 30% more in CA than we do in the Midwest. I think NY was only 20% more.

Actually, except for the Connery years, that seems to be true all around.

That one was foremost in my mind. It was on TV a while back and I watched about as much as I could stomach. It might very well be the film where the franchise hit rock bottom.

Boss went out of town this week, he wasn't happy when I answered his request for an update on the D-bag he hired. The moron skipped one of his appointments and said he didn't know he had to go to that one. Then tried to tell the owner of a new hotel account someone was sleeping in a room he was supposed to steam treat. Uhm... no that room was shut down and treated for bed bugs yesterday ya fvcking idiot.
So now he may be gone tomorrow, although if left to me there wouldn't be a tomorrow.

So you are going to destroy all of time and space because you're mad at one dude? Isn't that a bit unfair?

Moorluck is currently in round 3 of the James Bond Villain SupaStah! contest. Things are looking good after he had two other contestants "eliminated" yesterday, and another judge imprisoned in the Phantom Zone on Monday.

Voice-over actors crack me up. The best was when I was in Quebec and I saw an episode of the Simpsons translated into French. Marge sounded like some sort of elderly Parisian prostitute.
My Russian friend just showed me the Russian dub of the 90s X-Men cartoon that she used to watch when she was a kid. Believe it or not, the voice acting was actually better in Russian.

Since when? ;) See I could make a list of BBC shows that are or were worth watching. Some of them only a single series worth which blows my mind but hey FOX canceled Firefly so anything is possible. Oh and there is what a single Canadian TV series despite the export for years of quality actors, or well actors, um guys who played on Star Trek.
We make crap TV occasionally there is a diamond in the rough but mostly its very bad.
Our comedy doesn't translate well...
We have the occasionally good panel show
Most of the Australian actors you see in the US started out on Australian Soaps...
Some of the good stuff:
The Underbelly series particularity was good. Based on true crime,
each season is set during a different time period...
Underbelly Razor is set during the wars between the Razor gangs in the 1920's.

Point 1. No it's not fair, but since I am the 2012 RPG SuperVillain! I don't care. So there. :P
Point 2. I like a lot of Australian TV, most of the shows I NetFlix are from down under, beats the same old garbage year after year on our networks. So there. :P
Point 3. I would guess because his art doesn't ape WAR, although I would like see his stuff in Paizo products Shiny.

Although from the hotel discussion looks like we will have to squeeze into a room with a king size bed and roll away. And banquet tickets are gone :( Unfortunately, I was not in a position to buy tickets until now. Thank you new job.If you're willing to drive PM me. ;)
I should clarify. Diane's sister can get us a great rate on an awesome hotel, but it's a significant drive.
