Salary Insecurity

I live in Northern Virginia, though I've lived in NYC before. Yeah, it's the NYC/librarian combo that seems to be doing people's heads in.

sounds scrumptious

I researched a response: "If you will forgive me for not answering that question, I will forgive you for asking it."

Gah, all of my coworkers are asking me how the salary is adjusted for "cost of living." Is there anything I can say, besides, it's not, really.

Just lie through your teeth and say "really really well" and make them green w/ envy. Are you going to be seeing them after you move away and start your fantastic new job and fantastic new life?

Just mention to them that cost of living in Queens is lower than it is in NoVa.

^^^ think thats your answer, right there

hypothetically speaking, what is the minimum salary you would demand to work at a college of dentistry, if you were deathly afraid of dentist?

I keep reading this as Salad Insecurity.

maybe if you made more money you could afford GOOD cucumbers

Just iceberg lettuce. . .so sad.

i have to used my neighbor's grass in my salads but damnit i like my job.

my ex used to use caramelized pecans and make the dressing from scratch you worthless little man

If free work by dental students was included, could end up saving a lot in dental bills.

Thanks everyone. I feel less insecure about my salary now. Hopefully from now on I can focus my insecurities on more meaningful targets.

i want a post-war cornucopia. a big horn o'plenty with guns and ammo and knives and bombs and shit.

i don't understand this thread, given that you've already lived here under much less stable conditions.
