Mull the whole day over that I should have probably been a little bit more... physically assertive on the son of a bitch rapist whom I caught assaulting this one girl yesterday night (As soon as I arrived running on the spot he leapt to his dingy bike and pedaled away, while I was checking if the girl was ok - she was, only scared and a bit roughened up, disheveled clothes, that sort of thing).

No, I'm pretty sure you did it exactly right.  She could have gotten stabbed or something, and you were right to be more concerned for her than for the dicey task of running down a panicked rapist (with or without a knife) on a bicycle.

I recommend taking leftover seafood to work, then putting it in the office microwave for like five minutes.

what kind of anachronistic freak are you? Do you have a wheel driven fixed blade lawn mower, too?

I have to say, I don't mind the idea of the local denizens getting up a lynching party, particularly for that kind of caught in the act crime.

Whoa. I could only get behind something like that if the posse had a sweet-sounding name, like The Rough Chuckles (nah, who am I kidding, I'm too much of a wuss for that - I'd design their logo, tops...)

I got an e-mail today from our executive director saying we're not getting raises this year, not even cost of living. Because of the economy and our merger strategic integration with another company and blah blah blah. The thing that bothers me is that since we're a non-profit that means anybody can look up our previous year's tax info. Including the 990 form which lists the salary of the guy who sent the e-mail.

Turns out he makes about 18 times what I do and more than double the next-closest employee. Plus travel reimbursement and whatnot. Way for him to take one for the team.

I'm also still pissed at him for changing the dress code so men can't wear shorts any more, even though he does whenever he goes golfing. Bastard.

Did you see this article in the Post Metro section yesterday with the salaries of all kinds of people? Very interesting.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/salaries/
Speaking of nonprofits, the head of DC Central Kitchen makes about 85,000 and the head of Alley Cat Allies makes 137,000. You could save a lot of kitties with the difference, you know?

After seeing Scott Simon's salary, I may have to reconsider contributing to NPR. Although the fact that he makes more than Grover Norquist is kind of ... funny.

This is the most perfect picture for every hockey player, ever.

Edit: And to keep up the twitterriffic theme of the thread, today I'm gonna listen to a client debate whether or not giant stacks of money in a TV spot I'm creating look too much like sandcastles or skyscrapers, and whether they want the voice talent to sound more like Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones.

Holy crap.  I didn't know you worked in my building.

The Technical Staff made the same point, and I tried to argue that this was not so bad - I'm sure other equally well known media personalities make more - and then I remembered that he only hosts a show one day a week.

Really I think I'm just looking for an excuse not to contribute, but I think it's a fair point. Also the fact that one of the local stations broadcasts contemporary gospel music on Sunday mornings. This is especially obnoxious because in Utah, if I wanted Jesus on Sunday mornings, I have far too many options for NPR to push it on me.

A phrase I use too much, because I live in Idaho: Fuckin' Mormons, man.
