Members Zamfir Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 Originally posted by niomosy I simply want a 20k bump in pay, 4 weeks vacation annually, a 20% non-performance-related bonus, a 20% signing bonus and be less than 10 miles from home. With much less office politics, state of the art equipment and the ability to work from home once a week. Why is this so difficult!?!? Hell, a lateral and closer to home is really all I'm hoping for at this point. Dropping from 42 miles each way to a 10 mile round trip would do wonders to save on gas as well as wear and tear on my car. If you want a 20K bump in real wages, fewer dickheads in the office, and less wear and tear on the car, try moving out of L.A. It's not like we don't have deserts anywhere else.

It's not like we don't have deserts anywhere else. Yes, but I'd like my desert near the ocean To be honest, there's not many places where I could move and get a bump in salary. I'd just have to hope for a better salary:cost-of-living ratio. Dunno, not many places in the 'states besides Southern California that I'd want to live. Hawaii's the other but I'm doing better on the salary:cost ratio here Maybe I should look into jobs in the U.S. Virgin Islands I must admit, though, I was damn tempted to apply for a job in Brussels. If I'm gonna make a jump, it might as well be to some place more interesting. My wife was even okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members niomosy Posted December 11, 2006 Members Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hmmm, guess I need to get cracking on that 3-5 page essay and take-home final due tonight Fortunately, I've already done a lot of the research on the paper. Now it's mostly just filling in the blanks (did a speech on it a year ago and saved my research ) I'd have done it over the weekend but I still feel rather crappy so Saturday was a series of naps with some awake time in-between and Sunday was recovering from working 12am-6am for a stupid maintenance window (from home, at least). On the plus side, that was a solid 5-ish hours of World of Warcraft time since most of it was waiting for idiots to validate the changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brussels can be awfully cold for someone who dislikes temps below 75 F. You will not be diving in the surf as often with Baby Nio... It's been ages since I've been there, though -- I have no idea what the city's like now, since Maastricht took hold in '93... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been ages since I've been there, though -- I have no idea what the city's like now, since Maastricht took hold in '93... I know, I know. I figure that since more of my opportunities are in piss-poor climates (since most of the warmer climate areas are tourist industry rather then a heavy emphasis on corporate towers and/or data centers), I'm mostly screwed until I land a job that lets me telecommute 100% of the time. With that in mind, if I'm going to freeze, I might as well go for a good change of scenery rather than end up in friggin' New Jersey or something I'd just have to make sure I could sneak in trips to [insert warm climate area that isn't a 10-hour flight costing $1000 per ticket here] during the warm months Those jobs are more likely to want the degree (U.S. seems more lax on degree requirements) so I might be tempted to see what's out there once I finish my degree. Dunno. I like SoCal and all but I'd be up for a change of pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members niomosy Posted December 11, 2006 Members Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hmmmm, I think I should have checked with my teacher on the definition of "3-5 pages". That double-spaced or single? Oh well, I'm about 2 1/2 pages in right now single-spaced. I figure I'll stop at 3 pages and call it good I just need to cough up enough bull{censored} and fluffy wording for another 1 1/2 pages. Methinks I need to word out my conclusion a bit and find more details to slap in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members niomosy Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 Originally posted by oldivor Slap that hot info in. I decided to just go with the double-spaced thing and hope that that's what he was intending. I don't think the guy really wants to read 3-5 single-spaced pages anyway seeing as he can barely deal with getting emails . Double-spaced, I ended up at the start of page 6 so I had to trim back a small bit. That and tweak my main concept as I included some new info not quite on my topic (hearing loss from music) but a growing trend (hearing loss due to cell phones). I changed it to hearing loss in youth since they've covered well with iPods and cell's Anyway, after 4. Time to get the hell outta here and sulk that I didn't get in on the Amex MyWishlist Porsche Cayman for only $5000. Only 3 sold at a time and I wasn't fast enough I needed a new car, too At 32mpg, it's better gas mileage than my car Could have sold it and bought something AND had money left over Bah Now I just need to work on the final once I get home and email it all to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr no where even close. It's a Health class and he's the football coach This the guy that dreaded having us email him stuff so I can only imagine he's thinking double-spaced for the articles.
