Re: CUBE LIFE! Office Etiquette
You should see if you can start May 24. When I started my government job, they had me start of December 31st. There were just a few people in, and none of them felt like working, so they all just hung out with the new guy. They announced we could leave early, either at 1:00 or 3:00, then I got a pa...

That's fantastic, Syb. How long does your severance continue? Are you planning to start a new job right away, or take more time? Severance is a few more weeks, and free COBRA goes until end of May, so I'm looking to start in May, so I don't need to pay COBRA or switch to my wife's plan. I'm going n...

Re: Random Politics
The US has backed a lot of questionable regimes, but there is something about this one that brings in more intensity and hatred. Wonder what that could be. There's no reason to think the intensity and hatred is evidence of anti-Semitism. The US wars on Iraq and Afghanistan were twenty-plus years ag...

Snoop Syby Syb got a jobby job (offer). I'm expecting to accept it, but had final round interviews at a few other places that haven't made a decision yet. I preferred this one, and they offered the top of their salary range, so I can't imagine another offer dissuading me. One might pay bit more, but...

That explains the jumper at the ceremony. (A student either slipped or jumped and died at the end of the ceremony). Too soon, yes, but I feel like I need to fill the TT-sized void on inappropriate death jokes.
Also, what percentage of students know that song?
