gf: but… don't you have lots of things you want to accomplish…?

me: yes but not *professionally*

@Lady death to the bourgois concept of professionalism

@KitRedgrave me, over and over again: they aren't paying me for that so they don't get to take credit for it

@KitRedgrave like my opposition isn't even to professionalism per se it's just that my hopes and ambitions that i accomplish in my free time with the experience i have cultivated through my independent growth and study is not something i'm going to give away

if it's something you want, put it in the job description, give me a raise accordant with the additional expectations, and have me do it on your time

otherwise, it's mine
