I’m all over the hot chocolate lately at work… But I use a travel mug, and the packets say they make 6oz, so I need to use three of them for every cup…
I don’t want to know the calories, or the fat, or any of that good stuff. But I limit myself to only one a day. One delicious, tall mug of steaming hot chocolate… Mmm…

Hot chocolate helps, a lot. I wish I had the fixings to make it with milk, though – chocolate water is just…bleh.

It sounds like the same thing that I am almost over. Good luck in the job search

Good thing they don’t see that funny line with two legs and decide they need a physicist for it. 😉
I always found that sort of thing was good to save up for when I was utterly brain dead at work. On a day when I couldn’t do anything creative, at least I’d have some “mass production” work available.

As for taking whatever looks best, well, that’s what I’m doing now. See, I had a pretty good job down in North Carolina, but that ended in October, 2002. I spent the next two years looking for a position, and the contract job I have now is the result of “get a job, any job.” It’s not a bad gig and I’ve been told it’s solid through at least 2008, but I want little things like better pay and vacation (thank heavens benefits are covered through ‘s employer). Anyway, I’m in a pretty good position here to pick and choose, but it’s becoming apparent that the salary I had three+ years ago isn’t what I’m going to be in the market for this time. We’ll muddle through somehow, though.

And at least you have the degrees to show that you know what you do.. I’m still in the process of getting that little sheet of paper that says I know what I learned a long time ago.
If you don’t find what your looking for job wise, take whatever looks best, then keep looking for something better. If you’re stable enough financially, that should be fine for a while. Whatever works, really.

Parallel to the base, so this formula applies:

It’s funny that you pointed to the bymath.com page, because that’s the one I’ve kept in the background all morning as reference.
