How does one ask a raise without sounding greedy?
This year I'm much more busy than last year so I kind of don't consider it worth it in terms of money to continue teaching some children mathematics for what I used to get paid. I suppose I do enjoy doing it, but for that money I'd rather do other things I suppose..
How do I explain this and ask for a raise, most likely through texting or similar, without sounding greedy?

The Celebrity Phone Hacking
I'm kind of happy of the response to this, ten years ago the victims would be blamed in the media, it seems the message that it's not the victim's fault that they were violated has come across strongly. I think that wouldn't have been the case just 10 years ago

lol Nice Abge...Actually, being on the Recruiting side of engineering right now, I knew how tough it is for automotive to find engineers right now (totally a candidate's market) - so I knew the time to leverage whatever experience I had was now. Then...coupled with my *amazingly* charming personality in the interviews...I blew them away. lol (That outta shock the hell out of some of you!)

Yellow - Never tell them what you know, tell them what you have **done** - this demonstrates your knowledge. Be charming - don't be afraid of humor. Make sure that you research the company. Make sure that you have questions - since you are a recent college grad (I believe) you might want to ask them things like how they will integrate you into the program make you and effective contributor, things like that.

I'm linking to three documents with interview tips that I typically send to candidates getting ready to interview.

Interview Tips 1: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RMTrtiY6HeAVeVKd0hNIosdoOqWlT73AiO0o4eUm-s4/edit?usp=sharing

Hey, thanks krel, these are really great! I knew I would need to ask lots of questions, but I have been struggling to think of specifics, this should be a great way to put me on the right track.

They sure is. If nothing else, krellin knows how to interview. How else do you think a guy that's been out of engineering for 15 years convinced a Tier 1 automotive company that I'd be a damned good add to their team?

"Moderate" is terrible advice for those who don't possess the ability to moderate.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
01 Sep 14 UTC
It's true. I seem to have it, thankfully, but it's no less true. All things in moderation can sometimes mean, lots of one thing, none of another, for a moderate average all taken together. Lol.

Russia is being overly aggressive in a live game
I'm playing as Ukraine in a live game, and Russia just messaged on global that if anyone helps me, they will use nukes. Nukes! What can I do?? He's already taken Crimea! Germany isn't talking to me. England is being friendly but they're not doing anything to help me. Oh and France just built a fleet in Marseilles. I think they're sending it against me! Ugh! Help!

When 2,000 people die due to government incompetence...
Why does no one care? It has been 9 years now since Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of New Orleans due to atrocious management of the Mississippi Delta by the Corps of Engineers, and no one has been held accountable aside from one sacrificial political appointee who was allowed to retire gracefully. Why? http://www.hulu.com/watch/394996

NFL Pick 'em: Pre-Week 1 Prediction Edition!
Week 1 of the 2014-15 NFL Season kicks off on Thursday with the Packers looking to get revenge for the Fail Mary vs. the *grrr* defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks. We'll do the proper Pick 'em when that gets closer, but since we usually do playoff picks before that...this is that. So--your 6 playoff picks in both the AFC and NFC, winners in the Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference Championship rounds, and then, the Super Bowl winner...PICK 'EM! ;)
