    Hey Quid, do you know much about salary negotiations for federal pay? Like, do you guys have steps within grade as well or is it basically you're paid what the patch on your arm says you'll get paid?

    I hope you don't, Chu. But if you do, you have a ton of friends here who have gone through it and will support you.

    You get paid what your grade is. There's no negotiation. For military the methods for increasing your pay are biannual raises (Which are separate from yearly cost of living bumps), moving in to a higher demand billet either because of the nature of the job or its location, or getting in to a more valued job which generally gets you faster promotion and possibly regular bonuses.

    For civilians as far as I know their methods are generally vying for promotion. Don't know if they get more money simply for how many years they've been around like the military. Unlike the military they can also get performance based bonuses.

    How old are we here? Talking about poop...

    We should talk about income tax and politics, like adults.

    Or pop culture and video games, like teenagers.

    Poop is such a childish subject.

    *farrrrrt*

    Wiki barely scratches the surface. Though I have IBD. Which is so much worse. Well is worse with me at least.

    Also, maybe you will be lucky Chu and its just awful hemroids.

    My poop comes out with little effort and I barely have to wipe with no noise.

    The best part about getting food poisoning is that you look forward to projectile vomiting.

    Hemroids can be treated and made to go away pretty much. IBS, you get stuck with. I would hope for hemroids.

    Depending on the severity, weren't they experimenting of 'intestinal flora transplants' with promising results? Or is that only Crohns?

    Oh! Quid!

    Superman/Shazam was great! The animation style reminded me a lot of like Samurai Champloo with bits of Cowboy Bebop. Excellent stuff.

    Now what should I watch?

    I got the hems, once. I had spent, like, a month sitting on my butt to study and eating ass kryptonite. Got the school clinic to get some meds in suppository form and it cleared right up.

    I am detoxing from Ativan

    Right now I would seriously punch someone in the face for some Ativan

    I am tired and the world is fuzzy and I am cranky and Aaron doesn't realize how cranky I am and my head hurts and I'm all emotional and I nearly started crying in a restaurant today

    on the other hand i just had a big shit and a hot shower so I basically feel like I could run a marathon

    I think that is an IBD(Crohn's and company) thing. I am on remicade which is an immunosuppressant which gets rid of my Crohn's. Be nice if I could skip that.

    Sounds like that's my next target! Thanks Quid!
