I think it gets to what MZ was saying about "us vs. them" stuff. If Mozilla, as a symbol for the "open source web movement" says "we are against conservatives" (which is how conservatives may interpret the events surrounding Eich's departure), then…

Woah - Andrew Sullivan's got a strong opinion on the matter. http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/04/03/the-hounding-of-brendan-eich/

I totally agree re: he should have been more saavy. A job is a right insofar as we have laws to protect people from losing them on the basis of discrimination! You can't fire someone for being black. Should you be able to fire someone for support…

MZ: Yes, yes, yes.

"Questioning" something and "forcing someone to resign" are two very different things. I fully support your need to chill and get centered.

bigot: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance bigot: 1.intolerant per…

We just have to define what "accepting" means. I feel like we don't have the right words for this kind of nuanced issue. "Accepting" in terms of policy? In terms of politeness? In terms of how our actions influence the personal/professional lives…

I am having the reverse problem. I had no spring break and now that I am in the office I am DRAGGING. It's a hard Monday over here. Need a vacation.

I think that's too much, and I think they'll likely get it.

When MZ started looking, I took him on a clandestine peek around the exterior of a house across the street that I knew would list soon. I estimated $360-$380k asking. Dude got $452k. I find that pretty depressing, even though I know it's good for…

Does not surprise me.

I had makeshift drapes for so long! Literally had sheets NAILED up to the windows. There's no shame in taking your time, MZ.
-
Maybe crappy, but it's REALLY close to not-crappy. That house is weirdly cheap. I would do a drive-by...I think a lot depends on the crappiness of the neighbors and immediately-surrounding area. MZ, how you liking home ownership!? Did you have a …

That seems typical for Portland. I don't know why my taxes are a meager $1700/yr.

Jesus!

Ok, actually, regardless of whether or not arijkem and mike want to get in on this fabulous deal - I want more details. Preferably before it lists. Alex, can you deliver?
-
Alex: That's not bad at all. How about the taxes? arijkem and mike: I will buy it for you if you sign a 2-3 yr lease (negotiable). $1450 - 1600/mo (also negotiable, depending on taxes and closing costs) 100% serious. You can help me start buildi…

What are the hoa's?

Woah. That would be the sweetest hang spot with all you dudes living there!

I got another interview! (at a different place)(my current place, actually, but it's a step up). April 9. Fingers crossed, people!

Rejected.

I jogged to work today! Going to leave early and maybe apply to another job. Then going to snuggle with my sweetie and watch the last two episodes of HoC, season 2. TGIF!

Sent! I'm feeling better about the whole thing today. In retrospect, I think the guy (CEO of a small company) was being pretty slippery and I definitely made clear in our phone conversation that I was looking for guidance since this is not a field…

"we are told we are supposed to [negotiate] to have self-respect" --> I know! But maybe this is bullshit. My self-respect has always plummeted after these kinds of conversations. It is not a game I like to play, for many reasons, so why did I …

No no no. That was hypothetical, just to demonstrate how it compares to my current salary. I asked for WAY more than $25/hr. :(
