The Monkey Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Home sick today. Drinking water and trying, unsuccessfully, to sleep. Quote
grawk Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 I prescribe 9 oz of eagle rare and a tablespoon of honey Quote
Torpedo Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Good luck Jacob. 33% wage increase for about the same work load is a great deal. Dinny, get well soon. Or not, staying at home, if you're not feeling dying sick, is nice too. Take care mate Quote
grawk Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 All it takes is 1 pain in the ass professor tho...95% of my work at NOAA comes from 2 researchers, one of whom is a professor in florida. Quote
Torpedo Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 OMG, best of lucks! Way more money for less work... That's one of my wet dreams besides winning lottery Quote
grawk Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 odds of winning the lottery are effectively the same whether you buy the tickets or not. Just look at the ground occassionally, you might find the winning ticket. Quote
guzziguy Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Good luck with the job app, Jacob. We have our fingers crossed for you. All it takes is 1 pain in the ass professor tho...95% of my work at NOAA comes from 2 researchers, one of whom is a professor in florida. You know how those Floridians are. Quote
Pars Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Yep, good luck with that Reks. If you could cut your PITA professors in half with a 33% raise, seems like win to me Quote
Aimless1 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Congrats on the new gig Jacob. I see a Prestige in your future. Quote
aardvark baguette Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 bribe them with pain meds! Quote
Aimless1 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 If you want it I'm sure the job will be yours. Quote
jvlgato Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Good luck Jacob! That sounds really good! Bryan, sorry about your contact. That really sucks. Quote
mrarroyo Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Good luck in your job hunting, and 33% is a great increase in salary. Quote
aardvark baguette Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 save, save, save. i'm doing a 180 pivot this year, and so far its been much more tolerable than I thought it would be. its also intoxicating. Quote
Absorbine_Sr Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 if i get the job, though, the question is whether i should start putting more money away every month, or buy even more crap i don't need. More crap!! Why save? Spring is coming and the fighting squirrels may attack you and then saving was just a waste. Seriously, good luck Jacob. Quote
mrarroyo Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Just remember they put on their pants the same way we all do! I believe in saving to have a nice EARLY retirement. Since you did not have the income you did not need it so put it away in an matching type account that you employer sponsors. Good luck again. Quote
Aura Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks John, it took most of the morning but I ended up going to a short notice eye appointment, got a new (and un-expired) prescription, and 4 more pairs of contacts. I'm looking forward to going back to glasses, to be honest. I also sat down and checked my upcoming schedule. This friday - interview in Chicago. Next Monday - exam. Next Tuesday - exam. Next Wednesday - exam. Next Thursday - exam. Next Friday - interview in Chicago. Why is my last semester such a motherfucking pain in the motherfucking ass? Lastly, good luck Jacob.

Aimless1 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Good luck with the interviews Brian. Relax. You've been through this before with the exams and you'll be fine. Quote
morphsci Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 Good luck on the interviews Reks and Bryan. Also realize i need to respond to a PM from you Bryan. Why do I only get notified for some PMs and not others? Quote
skullguise Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Best of luck to both of you, may it work out for lots of joy and lots of money. I started my new job today, along with my new boss and new co-worker! Nice build-out they're doing, hiring several folks. We'll have some messes to clean and expectations to set, but this has already been started by a consultant I know well, and the future looks quite interesting for Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence!
