Thanks for the karma! Looks like my upcoming job interview is threatening to kill the thread. So, time to liven things up a bit.
Okay, now for something else to generate some discussion: what is your favorite all-time South Park episode? My favorite is probably "Timmy 2000," but I have lots of others depending upon my mood. Others?
Wow, lots of excellent karma on the board lately. Me = new job. Earljam = new job. Lavabe = reports of good job karma. ArkieDukie, I think you're involved in the right thread, here. Best wishes to you too.
I'm a big fan of WashU, if only because there's a building there with my maiden name on it. No one in my family knows the donor (darn!), but the name was so unusual that if you google'd on the name to find me, you'd end up with pages of hits of people who worked in the building first.
And BostonDevil, iirc, this is a big week for you and your little one -- I hope all went/is going well there! And how're your knees holding up?
Chemo is done! We have to go back next week for a blood count but that's nothing really. My knees are doing quite well as long as I run with braces on them. I've got a big run this weekend, 15 miles, we'll see how that goes. Thanks!
Congrats on the end of chemo. How is the little guy feeling?
Glad, too, to read about your run. When I was training for a 10 mile race and was having a rough moment I started in with Jimmy V's mantra, "don't give up, don't ever give up." Not only did it help me mentally, but I got a pretty good cadence going too.
So, I'm scheduled to fly to St. Louis early Saturday morning. What's the weather forecast here? If you guessed snow/sleet, you'd be correct! As in, 5-8 inches of snow, starting tonight and ending tomorrow afternoon. That's a big deal around here. The road to the airport is basically a long bridge over a swamp, which means it will be an icy mess Saturday morning. Depending on how bad it is tomorrow, I may actually venture out to a hotel near the airport.
I've spent a few nights in the airport...cheaper that way.
I've spent too many nights in Palmetto bug filled hotels(in Brazil) to care much any more. As long as there isn't anyone trying to break in I'm good.

At least, not that I've seen. Yes, we got hit by snow today, so I'm at a hotel near the airport. Roads slushy but will be a mess tomorrow. Hopefully we won't have issues with delays in the morning.
Well, by this time you should be in St. Louis, AD. Hope the interviewing is going well, but the question we all really have for you is...how are you going to watch the game tonight?
Sorry for the delay in response. Comcast took two days to repair our line.
ESPN w/Dickie V... If you're near a MetroLink station, I strongly suggest a visit to the Schlafly Brewery Tap Room. Ah shoot ... just get some from a Schnuck's, and settle into whatever room you're at. Normally I'd suggest MetroLinking to the UCity Loop, and trying to get a spot at Blueberry Hill, but it's a Saturday Night.
Brain Waves are a flowing! Just make sure that the phrase "I'd like a Miller" doesn't come out.
Oh yeah, and to clarify, the DBR job karma stuff is working. EJam and I have met great success. Time to make it three in a row on the job front!
Cheers,
Lavabe
Made it to St. Louis with no problems. Spent yesterday with friends who live across the river near Belleville. Watched the game in my hotel room (the Parkway, just around the corner from where I'll be interviewing). I thought we were going to pull it out. What a game!
The fun and games start today: I have a brunch this morning in the home of the person who would be my boss if I come here. I have a big seminar tomorrow and meetings all day - one of which is with the editor of the big journal in my field.
Thanks for the good thoughts; keep them coming!
