For what it is worth...

So what about those of us that listen to ...all sorts of music? And genre crossover? I'm going to say I listen to a decent combination of all of the above. I do have moods for each. Very much a mood music type of girl. I find that listening to pop music on the morning of a foggy day works as a pick me up.

WELL-MEANING FRIEND: Oh my god, M.A., what happened to your face?

ROSKO: I fell on the ice.

WMF: It's Mike, isn't it? I knew he was trouble.

ROSKO: No, seriously, I fell on the ice. I was on assignment at the new ice rink…

WMF: Stop it, M.A. Stop defending him. You can do better than him.

ROSKO: HOLY FUCKING SHIT DO YOU…

This would be a good time to mention that it still took him four tries to hit a target larger than the strike zone.

Saying it can play MKV is kind of vague. It's just a container and could contain anything really. h.264 or xvid could both live inside a .mkv file. What I'm more interested in is if this thing has figured out Hi10P.

Flattered that they were inspired by our app, Furnish :)

Depends on the company and the person who was in HR. They could just have easily tagged you "must have" and simply put their best cards on the table to see if you would bite or not to prevent you from going to someone else. Frankly, I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. You never really know and probably will never…

I work in HR and agree with some of the comments about negotiating other items aside from salary.

It's still pretty bad. It's strange that the Jeopardy folks would put a kid (A KID!) at such a disadvantage, especially considering the HUGE advantage the other kid had. Adults might be expected to have all kinds of general and esoteric knowledge and would be expected to bone up on Jeopardy-esque topics, so their…

I consider stuff like health insurance, time off, etc. to be part of one's benefits package, not a perk. Things like a coffee pot and water cooler are just standard things any normal business should offer.

Nachi's VP basically sums up my viewpoint and how our company runs our operations. I could give a fuck-all what you're wearing so long as it doesn't cause problems with your colleagues or your work. Our office culture reflects this. Doing our job well is the only part of "professionalism" we take seriously, and I'm…

The same thing happened to me. I'm the IT admin, so it wasn't unusual for me to stay an hour or so after 5pm when most everyone else left so I could do work on their computers or stuff on the servers. Then, sometimes I'd need to order something from the Best Buy 15 minutes away, so I'd work from home for half an hour…

When I interviewed for my current job, I asked the VP (who was questioning me) about the dress code. His response: "I don't care if you wear a fucking wedding dress, as long as you work hard and make money."

My "perk" is that I pretty much come and go as I please. Other than that, I don't get anything. Not complaining though because the flexibility is huge.

If your salary doesn't meet your needs, or if you can't afford your health insurance, there aren't any perks that will help that. However, once my needs are met, many perks can save real time and money. Such as, if you can have packages delivered to your work address instead of your home, you don't have to worry about…

My office has some very nice perks. These include a roof, airconditioning, heating, and occasionally paychecks!

Feel like this is obligatory here.

Yes, paradigm shifts based on new evidence is for pussies.
