there is a possibility that I will accept a position with the Space and Missile Systems Center. In Los Angeles. At the Air Force Base next to LAX.

I hope that works out. We need a rocket scientist on the LoT!;)

Um, check for the fictitiousness of that job. There's no Airforce Base near LAX. Pffft.

Sooo...

A co-worker's boyfriend just brought in an external drive with almost 300 GB worth of music. Since it appears that it is all ripped at 128 (boo, hiss: 192 should be minimum), I calculate that there must be 1 Sl* of music on there.








* Sl = Shytload

Pity it's all new age polka music.

For some reason, 300gb of music doesn't sound like much to me.

Pru, it would be great to have you in LaLa Land!

300g is more than we have, I believe and we have one FT.

Uh, I actually think we have one, though he hasn't posted in awhile

I'm supposed to give an answer tomorrow. At first I wasn't going to consider the job because it's with financial management and I don't want to do fiscal any more - and I'm concerned that if I take the same kind of job I have now it will really look like I just abandoned my law degree -- a potential problem if I decide to leave the program or not continue in government work. Plus, they offered rock bottom salary.

But, they also offered relocation expenses, a 9K signing bonus, and have already upped the offer once, and say that if I submit a competitive offer they will consider it in a recalculation.

Plus, I talked to them more today and 1) the financial management department works with all the giant bids and, while the contracts department does more, the financial management department also does a lot of legal research. Most of their people have never had exposure to case law, so it's a big learning curve. Apparently they are all excited about maybe getting a combo legal/fiscal mind. 2) we are not "locked in" to our initial areas. If I hate it, I can move to a different area - like contracts, space policy, etc...

So, I'm giving it serious consideration.

Woo Hoo Pru! I've worked with a number of people with fiscal/law backgrounds. It's a good combo.
