Life on the Palouse

from lake superior to wheatfields, from grad student to professor, from my sauna to ... i haven't figured that out yet

he got the job!

So apparantly Jeff has some magical fairy dust around sprinkling every interview he goes to. He interviewed on Monday at 3, today at 3 (48 hours later) he got the job offer. We're both a little conflicted about it, but it's always nice to get an offer.

Pros: it pays well, it's only 20 hrs/week, after 4 months he can begin taking any class at the University for $5/class, it's doing more design than he's been able to do at his past job

Cons: working both the coop job and this one will mean a lot of working, will it lead him away from kitchen work? does he want to be led away from kitchen work? he'll have staff hours, not academic hours, so for eg he'll only get a few days off at thanksgiving and christmas and NO summer off.

He did say yes. He'll start in 2 weeks. And the way he figures it for now, he'll give it a whirl for the next 8 months and see how it treats him. Is the universe leading him down a path towards grad school?

Oh, and we also realized today that he's never *not* gotten a job he's interviewed for. What a turd.

In any case, he's happy for the most part, and a bit conflicted about where this is leading him in life.

Ok, I have to get back to doing a ton of work. I'm trying to plan for Friday and Monday classes today so that I can enjoy my time with Dad and Kelly and not be worrying about lesson plans. Pip pip.

so right now i'm in louisville kentucky for the watson conference, but i'm in the hotel room cuz i want to watch the lost premiere!

i was out walking around a lot today in 80 degree weather, the city is kind of wierd, i don't care for it that much so far. i think theres kind of a lot of air pollution here.
