Stephen & Elisabeth in England

Thursday, 26 January 2006

Overwhelmed
Mood:

surprised
Now Playing: Steel Pole Bathtub
Topic: Elisabeth's Entries
Due to the overwhemling response on the book club idea, we will henceforth start new rules:

1. Never mention books on this site again.
2. Please leave no comments to let us know how you feel.
3. Remember that Elisabeth gets passive agressive when her ideas don't bear fruit.

But really, we're going out drinking tonight on invitation from some of Stephen's playmates.

And also, I've been confirmed in post & will be granted a permanent contract with health benefits, stock options...at least I think so...should I dare ask for a pay rise as well? Double or nothing?

Barcelona soon...getting excited...must drink now.

Sorry for the lack of comments but I am at a conference in Barbados now.

I dont think I would be participating in the book club anyways. Mr. Frey and Oprah has ruined it fow me, sniff.... Just kidding, but I dont read that many books, but can I submit journal articles? My first article was accepted.

I think negotiating for a higher salary up front is better. Yearly raises are usually low, so try to skip a few years by asking for more to start with, the worst they can say is no.

Sorry for not responding INSTANTLY, I was thinking.

I know that your feelings are all bruised up, but might I suggest:

A Curious Incident of a Dog in the Night-Time by Mark ....(can't remember his last name)

It's a fairly quick read, but a very interesting novel.

You know that around here things happen pretty fast...blink and it's gone! YOu should be sorry!

Even thought it's DOWN WITH BOOK CLUB! I'll give the Mark Haden book a try...never liked the title, but maybe you can't judge a book by its cover.
