my wife is thinking about taking a new job for the next couple years before we shut it all down..see retirement...anyway, this new job would require us to move back to Seattle..we are both kind of gung ho to do it and would probably take place in April..going to look at apartments dec 26 in the building that we used to live in..probably downsize to a 1 bed place and just be able to walk everywhere again..

probably downsize to a 1 bed place

Let’s say you’re getting a bonus at the end of the year … how much is standard as a percentage of your salary?

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

That is quite the range!

[Peeps]

At my level it is between 3-10%. ProMotion next year I think that may bump to 5-15%

Some of the people I work with their bonus has been 75-100k

Asking the percentage you will get a very wide range depending on the position

First day at my factory job. I'm not even working in the factory, though. I'm in an office building next to the factory. This sucks!

You bought those steel toed boots for nothing.

not true.

he can use them to stomp some office ass.

[The Argonaut]

what did you wear today?

Same thing I wear every day, Doug. Grey chinos, blue Oxford. It's cold so I also wore a green sweater over itm It's nice, textured with like horizontal raised bumps with white stitching. I don't know how to describe it in knitting language.

[doug rr]

[spike]

Looks more like a miniature Goldfish cracker.

[The Argonaut]

It's peanut butter cookie. I'm a slob! So embarrassing

[doug rr]

[dad]

Argo, are you part owl?

[doug rr]

I think his left ear is much longer than the right one

[The Argonaut]

was someone eating it behind you?

That's my front. I was leaning weirdly to get enough light. Damn cookie betrayed me
