  1. I do better on the "logic" kinds of questions than the pure trivia / knowledge questions. The test tonight had very few of those. Must have been a dozen on authors...

     

    Did we all have the same test? Mine started with something about a Hindu god, and went downhill from there. Also one about who was president in 1812...

  2. Kate has some friends at a large company facing what amounts to the following choice: elect to quit and receive 18 months of pay and benefits or wait to find out if your position is eliminated (and only get a 3 month payout if it is). Yikes. Hard choice for those who've been with the company for a long time. I wonder if they'll have half the company quit on them.

    That's harsh. I've not heard of a company using that approach of "act now or else...". We're going through another round of cuts right now, probably the 4th or 5th in as many years. Salary freeze this year as well. Could be worse... But we don't offer a better package for early volunteers than we do for laid off folks. I don't see the wisdom in that. It's never an easy thing to manage, but I don't get that approach.

  3. And something's that not come up yet, who do we think hired the lawyers that went to Kate's house? I'm wavering between Ben wanting to assure Kate's return to the island and Sun's blaming Kate for Jin's "death". ???

     

    Charlie. He's working on a custody thing. He was quite fond of the little tot. And he's not dead.

  4. Interesting review. I bought this last night at BB and have not heard it all the way through yet.

     

    Many thanks to everyone on the packaging heads-up. With great care I was able to remove both discs without inflicting damage... but I agree it's a pretty Crappy design on that.

  5. So if "everybody" has to get back to the island to prevent catastrophe, does Sun's baby also have to get back? Kid's in Korea now, right?

     

     

    Also, I thought the "Libby says hi" line was classic. That and the "can't even make fire" line were nice to see that they aren't taking themselves too seriously to have a little cheese thrown in.
