I can help you out with that if you want....

This is my I feel really fat post from eating nothing but crap since I got here. I hung out with the wrong people. The crap cost more than good stuff.

Tough life!

I don't like the look of the doom and gloom e-mail I just read about the budget cuts in NJ. Granted I'm funded by federal grants, I think my prospects for full time work just went down the toilet. I'd be lucky to keep part time after June 30th. Hmmm, e-mail from the IRS about engineering positions.

You know that you cannot be "good" all the time. If you were, the stress would probably be more detrimental to your health than stepping out once in a while. Anyway, variety is the spice of life. I sure you will get back on the wagon when you return to your normal routine.

About to visit the fitness center of the Hyatt at Olive 8. For those who are curious:

* Lobby of the Hyatt at Olive 8 on a Friday night makes an evening in an aLoft lobby seem like a church service,
* Rooms are stylish although too low (just 16 floors of the hotel) to have a nice view,
* Breakfast service was rather indifferent (had steak and eggs) - I had to hail for coffee,
* Diamond amenity included a full bottle of wine,
* As reported by others, the amount of noise from doors slamming is disproportionate compared to other hotels.

NJ has to do something....hopefully you find the right full time job soon.

I would look at your grant type - if it's a restricted grant the time and effort worksheet has to be dedicated to that one funding source.

I agree but various fried chicken products lacks variety and it wasn't good fried chicken products.

Fried chicken products multiple times per week required me spending time with alli.

There is an excellent WSJ article today about NJ and it's income tax rate that everyone should read if they can (in regards to the budget cut). Can't provide a link since I don't pay for their on-line service (I like reading newspapers the old fashioned way).

It is but the issue is with full time union people. They'll through a fit knowing at PT person becomes FT because of credentials and their people get the ax.

Time to leave the PC and fly home.

I bet it was good when you ate it :p. BTW I love fried chicken ^. (even if it drives my internist crazy!)

I need a nap. I'm planning on going to the airport late tonight for my 5am flight tomorrow rather than trying to sleep and then wake up. Should be interesting, especially since I haven't been upgraded on the flight yet and it appears to be zeroed out up front. :(

Publix fried chicken is some of the best out there. I'm a huge fan.

Why is there a "style" component to the judging in ski jumping? If you can go far and not fall down that should be enough to win.
