Sir Stephen and the Quest for the New Job...

Stephen is a computer god. Don't let him tell you different.

Right now he works for a University that is a bit away from where he lives, requiring a train into work every day. And while he isn't seriously underpaid, he has shown me similar jobs to his that earn significantly more than he does. One of them is at another University that is much closer to home.

This is the second time that jobs like his have been posted. Both times he has put in an application for the job... but this time they called him to interview. He will have to do a 10 minute presentation, have an interview, and take a tour on the same day. Wednesday, July 18.

He doesn't seem all that excited about having to do a 10 minute presentation. I am very excited for him, enough for the both of us. (Perhaps I'm excited because I am not the one having to GIVE the presentation... but then again I dig that sort of stuff.) If he ends up getting this job, it means far less travel time, more pay, and perhaps other happy sorts of things.

Now if I could just get him to stop telling Ashley to slap the cat, things would be good.

Slap the cat? I am not sure how to take that. : )

I wasn't quite sure when I saw it either, and even less sure after Ashley's interpretation... which I'm sure was the same as yours. Get your mind out of the gutter. Sheesh.
