Stations of the Cross

People keep asking me about my new day job. "How do you like it?" "What do you do?" These are perfectly valid questions, to which my answer is the same: "Yes."

Some well-meaning, caring folks have even had the audacity to ask precise questions about my salary. Most of you know that I regard such discussions as very distasteful. I would never ask anyone about his or her income, and I'd never divulge mine to anyone (especially not in mixed company). However, in the interest of transparency and full disclosure and stuff, I'll give you a little hint.

Does the term, "Five figures,"” mean anything to you?

That's right. I'm all The Jeffersons.
