		<description>&lt;p&gt;Oh, dear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are worth more than what they are paying you (no matter what it is) and how they are treating you.  I hope they realize it...but they probably won&#039;t until you leave them, in the dust, for the Monkey NY firm.  Your wisdom is admirable.  Best of luck, and come visit Maine before you leave Boston.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Right... because when you freelance, you don&#039;t juggle at all...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Different poisons for different fish. Just so long as there&#039;s some scotch in the pantry...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good to see you again, Fish. You&#039;re every bit as lovely as the last time I stopped by... and twice as charming.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;survivor guilt?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;could be they&#039;re going to promote you to your boss&#039; old job?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;freelance sounds good in theory, but only if you can take your clients with you when you go.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
