Mmmm

We had a fabulous dinner last night. We went out to Legal Seafoods to celebrate a belated Valentines day and Mr Bob's job offers. We had Gewurtztimiener wine, Clam Chowder and I had a 6 once filet with grilled shrimp and scallops, mashed potatoes and snap peas. Mr Bob had grilled Mahi Mahi, mashed pototoes and lentils.

When the server brought us the dishes, he confidently placed the grilled Mahi Mahi directly in front of me and was about to give Mr Bob the steak until we corrected him.

I get the impression it's usually the girls that order the lentils and the guys that order the steaks.

Heh, way to eat beefy, bob!

So, what's the current Mr. Bob job scoop?

Current scoop:

Mr Bob is in negotiations (still). Job #1 can't offer as much money (either to run the run lab or as salary). Job #2 will offer much more (50% more on salary) and they said outright they are willing to get into a bidding war.

Job #1 cannot match Job #2 in either salary or startup funds, but we both prefer Job #1 for location (it's on the West Coast. Job #2 is in Ontario).

If Job #1 can give Mr Bob what he wants (well needs) to run the lab, he will take it, despite the lower level of funding.

Job #1 also just told Mr Bob what he would be teaching in the fall, an upper level course in his specialty. Mr Bob is thrilled. It's the perfect course to teach, perfect to recruit students from and so much fun.

Well, fun for nerds.

My underwear are salmon colored today. I thought it might be relevant to the seafood post.

Thanks, Bob. I'm really hungry now. My peanut butter english muffin just ain't cutting it.

Salmon in bravie's pants explains the smell in here.

So, bob, do either of these locations have potential for your career?

Job #1-not really. One small chance at a good job. Other than that, teaching or lab grunt.

Job #2-lots of opportunities and companies and things like that.


But it's cold at #2!

OMG! I hate when servers automatically assume my hubby gets my steak and I get his chicken. I love steak, he hates it.

Mmmm... I could go for a steak right now. :9

I could go for some steak as well. Michael and I went to the Texas de Brazille place on Friday because he hadn't been. We couldn't get a table until 10. Ever eaten about a pound of meat at 10 p.m.?
