I got my first full-salary paycheck today, following a year and a half of half-salary, less-than-half-salary, and then piddling unemployment compensation (but thanks anyway South Carolina!). I smiled all the way to the bank to deposit my check today--after, of course, rubbing the smell of money all over myself.
Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the fact that, yes, I've joined the flock on facebook. In doing so I found out that a few people are stalking fortsanders.net from there. Well, now I know who you bastards are!
